INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Interlock Wiring
All interlock wiring should use 2 conductor plus
shield cable. Refer to the diagram on Page 11 for
the pluggable terminal strip labeled as TB3. You
will need 2 of the 2 conductor plus shield cables
to connect between each automation that you
desire to wire for interlock. The first cable will
connect Interlock 1 Start, Interlock 1 Stop, and
Interlock Common together. The second cable
will connect similar terminals for Interlock 2.
Use the the 2 conductors for the Start and Stop
functions, and the shield for the Interlock Com-
mon. If several automations are wired together
for Interlock the cables will just daisy chain
from one to the next and so on.
Annunciator Panel Wiring
The Annunciator Panel wiring is done similarly
to the Interlock wiring. You may use the same 2
conductor cable as for the interlock wiring if
you like.
The shields of the cables will connect to the Com
terminal on TB6 of each automation. The hot
conductors will attach to the Data terminals on
TB3 of each automation. Wire one cable to the
DATA IN LO and DATA IN HI terminals. Wire
the other cable to the DATA OUT LO and
DATA OUT HI terminals.
You may only wire up to 32 automations to-
gether. Run cables from any of the automations
to the location where the Annunciator panel
will be mounted.
dard EIA rack opening. Plug the supplied DB25
male to female cable into the connector on the
Operator Panel circuit board. Plug the other end
of the cable into the connector on the Controller.
There are six wiring harnesses supplied which
are used to connect the Operator Panel manual
switches to the Controller. Each harness is la-
beled at each end. The ends that are labeled F1-
PANEL through F16-PANEL go to the FAS-
TON connectors on the Operator Panel circuit
board.
It is very important to attach these har-
nesses to the correct points at each end. Incor-
rect connections could result in dangerous
voltages being applied to places they should
not be. This could result in disastrous conse-
quences. Please use the table on PAGE 12 for a
complete listing of all the harness connections.
After connecting these harnesses to the Opera-
tor Panel, connect the other ends to the appro-
priate points on the Controller. Two of the har-
nesses have bare tinned wires on the Controller
end for connection to the pluggable terminal
strips. These harnesses are for high lights and
lens flat or scope manual functions. They will be
wired to the terminal strips together with the
wires from the lens change controller and the
light dimmer unit(s).
SHOWGRAMMER II
Mount the SHOWGRAMMER II close to the
Operator Panel, preferably directly below it.
Plug the DB25 cable into the DB25 connector on
the Controller. Plug the other end of the DB25
cable into the DB25 connector on the Show-
grammer II. See the SHOWGRAMMER II man-
ual for hookup information regarding connec-
tions to the sound processor.
On all DB25 connectors, secure the connectors
with the two thumb screws provided on each
connector.
