Cable Connections
Remote Aux Connections
The Remote Aux Control Panel consists of three parts:
■
Remote Aux Panel Assembly
■
Power supply with power cord
■
Communications bus cable connector
NOTE:
Due to limited access at the rear of the Remote Aux Panel after it is installed in
the rack, it is recommended that the communications cable and power supply cord be
connected and the DIP switches on the rear of the panel be set before the panel assembly is
installed in the rack.
Cable Installation
—
A Remote Aux cable connector is provided with each panel. See
for connector illustration. This connector must be applied to a shielded
twisted-pair control cable with a D connector on the opposite end. The D connector
of the cable will later be plugged into the rear of the switcher frame.
CAUTION
Do not plug the D connector in at this time. If power is applied to the switcher, the
cable line drivers in the switcher may be damaged.
The other end of the cable will be plugged into the Communications Bus connector
on the rear of the Remote Aux Panel using the supplied connector. Any additional
panel(s) will be connected to the previous panel. Keep in mind that the total length
of the cable must not exceed 1000 ft (320 m).
For a Model 4000 Switcher, place the D-connector end of the cable so that it will
reach J4 (AUX BUS CTL) on the Communication I/O Module Slot C3.
Lay the cable from the switcher frame to where the first Remote Aux Panel will be.
Allow enough cable to reach the control panel connector, and about 3 feet (1 meter)
extra, then cut the cable and strip the wires.
Connector Installation
—
The connector that plugs into the Remote Aux Panel has
screw clamps to hold the wires. Paying attention to polarity (see
the wires into the appropriate holes and screw down the clamps. If there is another
control panel, the cable to the next panel must also be inserted into this connector.
The D connector on that cable must be cut off, and the wires for the next panel must
be stripped and inserted into the same holes before the screws are tightened. Make
sure the polarity is correct.
