ACS 16.2 Installation and Operation Manual
DESCRIPTION
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Front Panel
The ACS 16.2 is a 1-rack unit device (19”w x 1.75”h x 10”d). The front panel
includes a channel selection knob, channel “take” push button, input level trimmers,
I/O and function LED indicators, headphone and LED VU meter selection switch,
¼” T/R/S headphone jack and level control.
Rear Panel
Installation is simplified with plug-in euro block screw terminals. The rear panel hosts
the input and output connectors, “OPTIONS” Dip-switch, multi-drop RS-232 modu-
lar connector, chassis ground screw and 5-pin DIN universal power supply connector.
Front Panel Knobs/Switches
The front panel of the ACS 16.2 contains one channel selection knob and a “TAKE”
push button for input to output selection, a monitor selection switch, for which LED
indicators are also present. The front panel also houses the input level controls and
stereo VU meter and headphone jack/volume control. The input channels may be
configured for the following switching modes using the Options dip-switch:
• Overlap - Overlap one audio source with another while the button for the second
source is held down. Both channels will be fed to the output until the TAKE but-
ton is released, at which time the first audio source will be switched off.
• Mix - More than one input at a time may be connected to any given output - Push
the TAKE button once to connect input, then press again to disconnect.
• Interlock - Connecting one input to any output disconnects all other inputs from
that output
Front Panel LED Indicators
The ACS 16.2’s front panel LED indicators provide operational display of the fol-
lowing information:
• “Output One” LEDs 1-16: Lit to indicate a given input channel is routed to out-
put one.
• “Output Two” LEDs 1-16: Lit to indicate a given input channel is routed to out-
put two.
• “PWR/HB” LED: Illuminates when power is applied and blinks when serial data
is active.
• “PIP” LED: Flashes to indicate PIP activity.
• “SS-1” and “SS-2” LEDs: Silence Sensor indicators for output one and output 2, lit
when silence is detected. The silence sensor must be enabled for this to function.
• “OP2” LED: Lit when output two is selected for VU metering/headphone monitoring.
Audio Inputs
Each of the sixteen stereo inputs are balanced bridging (20KΩ, depending on the
position of the trimmer) at a nominal line level of +4dBu. Front panel multi-turn
level trimmers are provided for each channel. Inputs 1 and 2 can faded up, faded
down or dimmed when routed to output 1 when using serial control commands.
