POWER SUPPLY MODULES
The dual, redundant power supplies for each card cage ensure
continuous, uninterrupted power.
The supplies are current sharing
which means the supplies share the load equally. If a power supply
fails, the redundant power supply can support the entire current load
of one fully populated card cage. Although the TLX640 functions
properly with one Power Module per card cage, Thinklogical
recommends that both modules be used, preferably connected to
independent power sources for redundancy.
Additionally, the hot-swappable feature allows easy replacement of a
module without interrupting the TLX640
’s system functionality.
All four power supplies should be turned on during normal use, even if one of the card cages is not
populated with modules.
THE CONTROLLER CARDS
The hot-swappable Controller Card connects the Matrix Switch to an External CPU.
The RS-232
serial port may be used for third party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun
interfaces). Also, the Configurator Software may be used to control the switch via the LAN port.
A Back-up (or Secondary) Controller Card ensures uninterrupted functionality if the Primary
should fail or need to be replaced.
The Primary Controller should always be in the upper controller
slot.
The
Back-up Controller
must have a LAN connection
that allows it to communicate with both the
Primary Controller and the Configurator server (required for the Back-up Controller to take control of the
switch). Both controller cards must have the same CPU module/Processor.

The Power Supply Modules support an
input of 200-240VAC (1200 W) 50-60Hz.
Use the proper power cord for your region:
250V/20A (4 supplied with the unit).
NOTE: High line is required to achieve 1200 W.
