DCN pre and post sales support

Pre-sales support:
Nte can assist local resellers with the design of DCN systems for smaller conference systems and in particular the stand-alone CCU LBB 3500/05, or can design larger and more complex Congress platforms on a consultant basis. For pre-sales support complete form. >>

The Bosch DCN is extremely flexible but certain rules need to be observed during the design process, including:

The power consumption - The power rating of the contribution units are expressed in terms PCF (Power Consumption Factor) and has a bearing on the number of units that may be connected to the system. >>

System cable limits - There are certain rules regarding the length of the cable that must be taken into consideration. >>

Installation - Nte can assist with the installation, programming and customer training of Congress, or for customers with no DCN training Nte can undertake the complete project. Training on the installation of DCN can also be arranged by Nte. If you require assistance complete the form. >>

After- sales support:
The DCN is supplied with a 3-year manufacturers warranty from Bosch. Nte offer full technical support by telephone or email on all products supplied and is backed-up the the resources of Bosch in the UK, europe and throughout the world.

The Power Consumption Factor (PCF) of contribution units connected to a CCU has a bearing on the total number of such units that can be connected. The maximum number of units quoted for a CCU on this website and in the pdf downloads is based on all units having a PCF of 1. This means that, for example, a stand-alone DCN CCU LBB 3500/05, which can accommodate 90 units of power of PCF can also accommodate 180 units of PCF 0.5.
