ADX-1842 or ADX-1852 rear panel (see figure for
options)
The ADX-1842 or ADX-1852 and its associated rear
connector panel must be mounted in a DENSITÉ frame. It
is not necessary to switch off the frame’s power when
installing or removing the ADX-1842 or ADX-1852. See the
DENSITÉ Frame manual for detailed instructions for
installing cards and their associated rear panels.
The ADX-1842 or ADX-1852 has multiple audio and video
outputs, and making space for all the necessary
connectors at the rear of the frame requires a double-width
rear panel.
When a double–width rear panel has been installed, the
ADX-1842 or ADX-1852 must be installed in the right-most
of the two slots covered by the panel in order to mate with
the panel’s connectors. If it is placed in the wrong slot, the
front panel LED will flash red. Move the card to other slot
for correct operation. No damage will result to the card
should this occur.
Overview
The DENSITÉ frame incorporates a central controller card,
located in the center of the frame, which is equipped with
an LCD display and a control panel. The controller handles
error reporting and local and remote control for all cards
installed in the frame. The display and control panel are
assigned to the card in the frame whose SELECT button
has been pushed.
Status Monitor LED
The status monitor LED is located on the front card-edge of
the ADX-1842 and the ADX-1852 modules, and is visible
through the front access door of the DENSITÉ frame. This
multi-color LED indicates module status by color, and by
flashing/steady illumination, according to the following chart
(which also indicates fault reporting for this card on the
DENSITÉ frame’s serial and GPI interfaces).

User configurable
A “Flashing Yellow” Status LED indicates that the SELECT
button on the front panel has been pushed, and the
controller display and control panel are now assigned to
this card.
The LED color assignments for some error conditions can
be reconfigured by the user (see the chart and menu for
details).
User Interface
Pushing the SELECT button will cause the on-card
STATUS LED to flash yellow, and the card identification
and the current status will be shown on the controller card’s
display. The STATUS LED will revert to it’s normal state
upon a second push of the button, or after a short delay.
The messages which may appear are shown in the top line
of the menu chart on page 3
Example :
SELECT button pushed twice when there is no input
signal connected to the rear panel and the LED is
steady red:
Use the local control panel to access the detailed status
report shown in the STATUS menu on page 3.
Operating Parameter Adjustment
The ADX-1842 and ADX-1852 have operating parameters
which may be adjusted at the controller card interface.
After pressing the SELECT button on the ADX-1842 or
ADX-1852 card, use the keys on the local control panel
(described in the Controller card manual) to step through
the displayed menu and adjust the parameters. The menus
are shown below.
