OTHER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES –
continued
1. All Aux O/Ps controlled from one panel.
The Quartz and Pro-Bel remote panels have buttons which select the required Aux output.
The panels are connected to any of the four RS-422 serial ports on the switcher
mainframe using a standard RS-422/RS-485 cable. The selected port has to have its
protocol set to “Aux Ctrl Probel” or “Aux Ctrl Quartz” as appropriate.
To select a source for an Aux O/P, press the button relating to the Aux, then press the
button relating to the source.
Note.
The Aux selection is a latching function and so remains selected until a different Aux is
selected.
2. A remote panel for each Aux O/P.
In this scenario a panel is required for each Aux O/P to be remotely controlled. Each
panel is connected to a switcher serial port using a standard RS-422/RS485 cable and the
protocol for that port is set to “Aux Ctrl Probel” or “Aux Ctrl Quartz” as appropriate.
3. More than one panel connected to one switcher port.
Up to eight panels can be connected to one switcher serial port to give independent
control of all available Aux O/Ps whilst only using one switcher port. The selected port has
to have its protocol set to “Aux Ctrl Probel” or “Aux Ctrl Quartz” as appropriate.
This method requires a RS-422/RS485 multi-way extender cable, a Master Diode Buffer
unit and seven (max) Slave Diode Buffer units to be made, see below.
Extender cable
The extender cable is made from 9 way ribbon cable, 1 x 9 way “D”- type male connector
and (up to) 8 x 9 way “D”- type female connectors. The male connector goes at one end
of the ribbon cable.
9 pin male
D-type
9 pin female D-type connectors
The male 9 way “D”- type connects to the switcher port and the control panels connect to
the female connectors via the Diode Buffers which are detailed below .
