Overview

The MegaPower CPU (MPCPU) is the control unit
for the MegaPower 3200 CCTV matrix switcher.
The control unit:

• Enables setup and control of cameras,
monitors, users, alarms, video recording and
data communications

• Provides two AD data lines and 16 RS-232
COM ports

• When two MPCPUs are connected together,
they double the AD data lines and RS-232
ports, and provide “hot switch” CPU operation

• Runs on a 12Vdc external power supply.

The MPCPU consists of:

• MPU (Multiple Purpose Unit) module. Contains
the CPU and stores camera configuration data.

• Port module. Provides connections for camera
control data and CCTV input devices such as
keyboards.

Safety Guidelines

WARNING!

Installation and service is to be

!

performed by qualified personnel.

Wire in accordance with national wiring
regulations of the country of installation.

The unit is designed for use in general
purpose CCTV installations and has no
other function.

DO NOT exceed voltage and
temperature limits listed in these
instructions.

Use this unit in a clean, dust-free
environment.

The unit must be powered by the
provided Limited Power Source, certified
for the country of use.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE

1 of 30

Installation

The MPCPU unit is installed in a 48.3cm (19in)
equipment rack. Use screws supplied with the rack
or purchase screws separately.

Single MPCPU

Refer to diagrams on pages 3 and 4 while
performing the following procedure.

1. Ensure the ribbon cable at the side of the MPU
module is connected to the module itself (and
not hanging).

Second MPCPU

The second MPCPU is used to double the AD data
lines and RS-232 COM ports, and as a backup in a
hot switch setup (See Appendix A).

1. Insert the second MPCPU in the equipment
rack either just above or just below the first and
secure using suitable hardware.

2. Connect the ribbon cables between the two
units top to bottom, bottom to top.

2. Insert the MPCPU in the equipment rack and
secure using suitable hardware.

3. Connect the power supply to the unit and plug
the supply into a standard ac outlet.

4. Attach the power supply module to the rack
using Velcro material supplied.

5. Connect the MPCPU to the necessary
equipment. See Appendices in this guide for
connection diagrams.

6. Move the AD Data Line switch on the rear of the
MPU to the down position to select data lines 1
and 2, and COM ports 1–16.

7. Connect camera control data cables from the
bay switches and keyboards (for basic matrix
switching bay connections, see Appendix C; for
keyboard, Intellex, and computer connections,
see Appendices D–H).

3. Connect the power supply to the unit and plug
the supply into a standard ac outlet.

4. Attach the power supply module to the rack
using Velcro material supplied.

5. Press the recessed Select button on the front
panel to select the CPU to drive the hot switch
setup.

6. Move the AD Data Line switch on the rear of the
MPU to the up position to select data lines 3
and 4, and COM ports 17–32.

IMPORTANT! Make sure that AD Data Lines

and COM ports for the two MPCPUs are not set
the same. Also make sure that software settings
for the COM ports are the same for both
MPCPUs.

7. Connect camera control data cables from the
bay switches and keyboards (for basic matrix
switching bay connections, see Appendix C; for
keyboard, Intellex, and computer connections,
see Appendices D–H).

Appendix A: Hot Switch Setup

The following applies when two MPCPUs connect
together for redundancy.

Selected Unit. Since both MPU modules are
actively processing incoming data, the term
“selected” identifies which unit is driving the lines.

Backup Unit. An MPU module whose CPU is not
driving AD data lines and RS-232 COM ports.
However, it is still actively processing incoming
data so it can hot switch over if the selected unit
fails.

UP arrow in message center. Indicates an
MPCPU with AD data lines 1–2 and RS-232 COM
ports 1–16 selected.

DOWN arrow in message center. Indicates an
MPCPU with AD data lines 3–4 and RS-232 COM
ports 17–32 selected.

Appendix B: Detaching the MPU from the Port Module

1. Loosen the thumbscrew in the back of the
assembly.

2. Push the MPU module away from the Port
module, detaching it from the blind connector.

3. Remove the MPU module.
