Summary Fault from remote unit 

Remote GND 

Note:

 The Controller/Unit interconnection uses some of the typically unused 10/100 Base-T 

conductors for fault status, AUX Mute, 24 V parasitic power, and controller to unit GND.  Use of 
these pins means the base unit connectors are not compatible with a 

1000Base-T (Gigabit 

ethernet)

 

connection and the cable coming from the “device being controlled (LPOD/LGAN)” 

likely cannot be directly plugged into a standard Ethernet port without a custom adapter cable.  

  Bias Select Switch 

 

The Bias Select Switch has three positions: HI / SW / LO. When in center position, voltage 
supplied to units is “As per front panel setting/software selection”. Either of the other positions 
overrides the front panel/software selection and forces all bias voltages to the selected. 

  Current Cal Switch 

 

The Current Cal Switch is a momentary push button switch that records the nominal current 
present for each unit supplied. Note there are separated “calibration” values for the low and high 
bias voltage options.
