When using only the 5SX4100 XY control panels
A splitter cable (specific to your particular requirement) is supplied with each
system. This should be connected to the 16x4 Routemaster(s) as shown by the
labels on its connectors and to the socket marked PL1 on the rear of the XY panel
using control cable 4C025, which is available in a variety of lengths from 10 to 50
metres. (Alternatively a control cable can be made from a 25 way ‘ D’ type male to
25 way ‘ D’ type male with pin to pin connections. Note that screened cable must
be used, with the screen connected to the shell of the ‘ D’ type connectors at both
ends to meet EMC requirements.)
.
For the simplest system when an XY panel only controls a single 16x4 video
matrix, the splitter cable has four 9 way ‘ D’ type male connectors which connect
to the four control sockets on the rear of the matrix, and a 25 way ‘ D’ type female
connector for the cable to the XY panel.
When a number of matrices are being used for different levels of video and/or
audio, the splitter cable also includes 9 way ‘ D’ type female connector(s) to
connect to the ‘ married’ sockets on the rear of each matrix (as shown by the labels
on the connectors).
When 5S2935 16 button-per-crosspoint control panels are being used in addition
to an XY panel, the splitter cable also has 9 way ‘ D’ type female connectors for
connecting 4C009 control cables to the button-per-crosspoint panels. (See the
previous ‘ When using only the 5S2935 16 button-per-crosspoint control panels’
section for fuller details on connecting these panels.)
