SNV-12 Operation & Technical Description
4.1
General
This section contains information and instructions for proper operation as well as technical
descriptions of the SNV-12 voter and its modules. Refer to Figure 4-1 for views of controls
and connectors.

Modular Chassis and Backplane
4.2.1
General
The SNV-12 is packaged in a 19" wide EIA standard rack-mountable Eurocard cage equipped
with a backplane board that the modules plug into. The module PC Boards are 100 x 220 mm.
The card cage height is 5.25" (3RU); its depth is 11". Receiver signals are connected to the
Site Voter Modules via rear panel terminal blocks. The SNV-12 consists of a Power Supply
Module, a Console Interface Module, a CPM Module and up to twelve Site Voter Modules.
The SNV-12 chassis is completely modular; that is, each of its various modules can be removed
and replaced with no tools other than a screwdriver. There are only three types of components:
the chassis itself, the backplane board, and the plug-in modules. The modules all plug in to the
backplane board through the front of the unit. Screws at the top and bottom of the module
panels secure the modules in the chassis, and each module has a front panel handle for ease of
handling. The backplane is attached to the rear of the chassis with screws along its top and
bottom edges. A combination AC power connector, fuse holder, and line filter snaps
permanently into a metal enclosure which mounts to the backplane board, and all dangerous
AC voltage lines are covered by the enclosure. The backplane makes all electrical connections
between the various plug-in modules so no discrete wiring between modules is required.
An extender card allows any modules except the power supply to be connected to the
backplane with both sides of the module board exposed outside of the chassis for ease of
adjustment, inspection, or repair. This same extender card can be used for all modules except
the power supply. This means all modules except the power supply can be plugged into any
slot except the power supply slot. The modules can only function correctly when plugged into
the correct type of slot, but the SNV-12 is designed so that modules will not be harmed when
plugged into incorrect slots. The Power Supply card edge connector is offset so no other
modules can be plugged into it.
The Eurocard subrack accommodates 84 HP (horizontal pitch) increments of 0.2" each. The
widths of the SNV-12 module panels are as follows:
Power Supply Module-
14HP or 2.8"
Control Processor Module-
4HP or 0.8"
Console Interface Module-
18HP or 3.6"
Site Voter Modules-
4HP or 0.8"
