Initial Checks and Actions
Router Model Check
One or more MV-841 or MV-851 modules may be fitted into a Sirius 840 or Sirius 850 router.
Router Frame Check
The MV-841/851 Multiviewer modules must only be fitted into a Mark 3 type Sirius router
frame. This router frame type has a
blue fan rack
.
(See Sirius User Manual, section 3.12.1, Table 5.)
Power Checks
Your Sirius 800 router may already have enough power supply capacity to power the additional
MV-841/851 module(s).
However, there are many different Sirius 800 system module combinations. Therefore, before
adding any MV-841/851’s to a Sirius 800 router, check that the configuration of power supplies
and modules fitted to your router can supply sufficient power to the MV-841/851
Multiviewer(s):
A router’s available power supply capacity depends on:
•
Complement of modules fitted to the router.
•
Power Supply Modules fitted to the router.
•
Whether the MV-841/851 replaces any currently-fitted modules and their module type.
Router Configuration
The MV-841/851 Multiviewer performs the function of two router output modules.
The host router’s configuration must be set up for a MV-841/851 Multiviewer with two output
slots of module type: “Digital Output Video Variant 2”
IMPORTANT
MV-841/851 Multiviewer modules must NOT be fitted into
a Sirius 830 router.
IMPORTANT
Only fit MV-841/851 Multiviewer modules into
a Sirius 840/850
Mark 3
router frame.
CAUTION
Power supply considerations:
The Sirius router must have enough power supply capacity to power any
MV-841/851 modules being fitted.
Check that the configuration of power supplies fitted to your router can
supply sufficient power to the MV-841/851 Multiviewer:
•
