Connections

AC Power Cord

Insert the molded receptacle of the AC power cord into the AC 
power inlet on the back of the BASIS 902zz. Plug the AC line con-
nector into the AC outlet. The power supply will accept from 100 to 
240 Volts AC, 47 to 440 Hertz, without any changes. If a different 
type of IEC power cord is required than the one supplied with your 
902zz, contact QSC’s Technical Services Department.

CobraNet

Connect one end of a category-5 cable terminated with a RJ45 plug 
into the 

CobraNet

 receptacle. Insert the RJ45 plug into the recep-

tacle with the lock-tab oriented toward the bottom of the BASIS 
902zz and push firmly until the connector locks into place (usually 
an audible “click” can be heard). Connect the other end to the 
appropriate CobraNet network port.

QSControl

Connect one end of a category-5 cable terminated with an RJ45 
plug into the 

QSControl

 receptacle. Insert the RJ45 plug into the 

receptacle with the lock-tab oriented toward the bottom of the 
BASIS 902zz and push firmly until the connector locks into place 
(usually an audible “click” can be heard). Connect the other end to 
the appropriate QSControl.net network port.

Omni In

The

 

six

 Omni In

 

connectors are two-pin terminal block connectors. 

They can accept contact closure devices (switch, relay contacts), 
10k ohm variable resistors, TTL logic level, and 0-5 VDC input. 

The contact closure and logic devices accommodate on/off or 
state-change events; the variable resistor input provides full 8-bit 
resolution allowing for incremental-change events. Refer to the 
illustrations for connection recommendations. NOTE! +48 volts is 
the absolute maximum that can be applied to the + pin without 
damage. Voltage is with respect to chassis or the - pin.

Logic Out

The

 

four 

Logic Out

 

connectors are two-pin terminal block connec-

tors. They provide CMOS logic level compatible signals for external 
devices.

Relay Out

Two sets of relay contacts are provided, 

RELAY OUT 1

 and 

RELAY 

OUT 2

. Contacts are floating and rated for 30VDC, 1A. There is one 

common terminal, one normally-closed contact terminal and one 
normally-open contact terminal. These are labeled as 

C, NC

 and 

NO

 on the rear panel. When the relay is not energized, the

 

C

 termi-

nal is connected to the 

NC

 terminal and the 

NO

 

terminal is not con-

nected; when the relay is energized the 

C

 to 

NC

 connection is 

opened and the 

to 

NO

 connection is closed.

tions. Negative (-)

chassis potential. 
Positive (+) termi-
nal logic level is 
switched using 
software.

CobraNet and 
QSControl con-
nection. Accepts 
ruggedized or 
normal shell-less 
RJ45 plugs.

Omni In connec-
tions. Variable 
input must be 10k 
ohm variable 
resistor. Contact 
closure input can 
be a switch or 
relay contacts. 
These inputs can 
operate software 
“devices”. Nega-
tive (-) terminal is 
at chassis poten-
tial.
