Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Safety Recommendations for Laser Products
Important:
No user serviceable parts are included inside Enova DGX Switchers; service should only be done
by qualified personnel.
Exercise caution when installing Epica SC Fiber and Enova DGX DXLink Fiber products to avoid direct eye exposure to
invisible laser radiation. Follow the recommendations below whenever installing or working with fiber products.
Be sure to apply the power only after all the fiber connections are made and no fiber ends are exposed.
Do
not
remove dust plugs from fiber connectors or the dust caps from the fiber cables until establishing
connections; avoid direct eye exposure.
Make sure all cables, including fiber cables, are correctly connected and/or terminated.
Before you unplug a fiber cable on an input board, disconnect the power on the transmitter that is connected
to the input.
Before you unplug a fiber cable on an output board, disconnect the switch for that output connector.
Installation Procedure
A flow chart showing the installation sequence is in FIG. 15. The procedure below the chart provides general steps with
references to detailed information found in later sections of the manual.
Note:
If desired, remove any rubber feet present from bottom of enclosure before rack installation.
Caution
- Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
FIG. 15
Flow chart for installation procedure
Install in rack.
Attach first two video input and output cables.
If applicable, install appropriate TXs and RXs.
If applicable, wire first two connectors on audio board(s).
If applicable - attach cable management bars
for SC Optical and DXLink Fiber Boards.
Connect Program port to PC’s COM port.
Establish TCP/IP connection from integrated Master to LAN.
Apply power to enclosure(s)
and then to system devices.
Configure system via NetLinx Studio.
Execute a test switch.
Attach remaining video input and output cables.
If applicable, install remaining appropriate TXs and RXs.
If applicable, wire remaining connectors on audio board(s).
Important:
If the system contains Audio
Insert/Extract Boards, they must be removed
from the system and the DIP switches on the
boards must be set to either insert or extract
audio according to the system’s requirements
(see page 119).
If applicable - remove AIE Audio Boards, set DIP switches
to insert or extract, and re-install in enclosure.
Important:
DXLink twisted pair cable runs for
DXLink Input and Output Boards shall only be
run within a common building. “Common
building” is defined as: Where the walls of the
structure(s) are physically connected and the
structure(s) share a single ground reference.
Caution:
To prevent overheating and airflow restriction, avoid placing high heat producing equipment
directly above or below the enclosure. The system requires a minimum of one empty rack unit above and
below (three empty rack units are recommended). Verify that the openings on the top and sides of the
enclosure are not blocked and do not have restricted air flow.
