1582-421L Quad 1:1 Switch, DC-2.15 GHz, 2PDT, M&C Monitor & Channel Select

1.0 General

The 1582-421L Quad 1:1 Switch provides four 2PDT switch pairs ( SWITCH 1, 2, 3, and 4). Each switch pair independently provides Auto,

Manual or Remote (M&C) latched relay switching between PRIMARY and BACK-UP, DC - 2.15 GHz RF signals. The M&C provides monitoring
of all parameters, Switch Reset, and Channel Selection (when in Auto mode only). Alarm conditions on PRIMARY and BACK-UP are either a
contact closure to ground or an open (selectable by a rear panel DIP switch). Auto has three modes:

Auto - PRIMARY; The PRIMARY - switches from PRIMARY to BACK-UP only if PRIMARY alarms and BACK-UP is good. The unit

switches back to PRIMARY when PRIMARY is no longer in alarm or both PRIMARY and BACK-UP in alarm.

Auto - LATCH BACK-UP; Latch to BACK-UP mode - switches from PRIMARY to BACK-UP if PRIMARY alarms and BACK-UP is good

and stays in BACK-UP regardless of PRIMARY or BACK-UP alarm conditions until reset to PRIMARY by the front panel Switch Reset switch or
M&C command.

Auto - MIN SW; Minimum Auto switching mode - switching occurs if the active channel (set by the front panel Manual Select switch or M&C

command) alarms and the other channel is clear. It switches back if this channel then alarms and the other is clear.

When power is lost, the current latched state remains selected. Front panel LEDs indicate PRIMARY and BACK-UP alarms and switch position,
Auto, Remote or Manual mode, and indicates redundant power supplies are on and if the 1582-421L has an alarm condition. Rear panel DIP switches
set alarm polarity (NO or NC for alarm inputs), M&C interface, and Auto modes (PRIMARY PRIME, LATCHBACK-UP, or MIN SW). The front
panel switches manually select the signal path or selects AUTO switching (center off). The RS232 or RS422/485 M&C (Ethernet optional) monitors
switch positions, unit and switch alarm status, and selects the RF switch position (when NOT in manual mode only). A contact closure to ground
indicates an internal fault condition or loss of power. Connectors are BNC for RF signals and DB9 for M&C and alarm input and output contact
closures. It is powered by separately fused, 100-240 ±10% VAC redundant power supplies.

Applications: The 1582-421L, 1:1 Redundant Switch is software defined switch. As such it may be configured in many different ways to
support various unique Customer applications. Appendix A - CONFIGURATIONS, provides a number of Configuration Diagrams and
Interconnection Tables for each known application.

1.4 M&C Commands

The following tables summarize the M&C Commands applicable to the 1582-421L Switch.

* PLEASE NOTE: The two character {aa} prefix, shown in the table below, is present ONLY when RS485 is selected.

Commands specific to a switch must be preceeded by *i where i is the switch number.

Table 2.0 Model 1582-421L - M&C Commands

Table 2.0: Model 1582-421L 1:1 Switch, M&C Commands

Command Description Syntax Command Function

{aa*iCPx} Set RF Switch Position

where i = 1, 2, 3, or 4 designating the switch number:

aa = unit address, range = 00 to 31, only used if interface is RS485, otherwise omit.

P = Command Code

x = desired switch position, P or BU. Once the switch position is selected remotely, the

switch is in "Remote Mode” and the front panel remote indicator will light. The unit will
remain in Remote Mode until one of the following occurs:

1. A Switch Reset command ( {aa*iCR} ) is issued.

2. The front panel Switch Reset button is pressed.

{aa*iCR} Switch Reset

3. The switch position is manually selected via the front panel

Manual Select toggle switch.

If the switch is already in manual mode (i.e, the front panel toggle switch is in the
PRIMARY or BACKUP position) then the switch will ignore this command.

example: {*3CPB}

Will (remotely) set Switch 3 to BACK-UP. The unit will ignore this command if the switch

is in manual mode. The unit will reply with the '>' character if the command is sucessfully
processed.

where: i = 1, 2, 3, or 4 designating the switch number.

aa = unit address, range = 00 to 31, only used if interface is RS485, otherwise omit.

(M&C Commands continued on page 9)...

1582-421L Manual, Rev. A Page 8 06/18/18

R = command code

This command has the same effect as pressing the front panel Switch Reset button.
example: {aa*iCR2}

Will return Switch 2 to Auto mode if it is in Remote mode. Also, this command will reset

the switch position if it is currently "latched" to the BACK-UP position (and if PRIMARY

is not alarmed).

The unit will reply with the '>' character if the command is sucessfully processed.

(M&C Commands continued from page 8)...

Table 2.0: Model 1582-421L 1:1 Switch, M&C Commands continued...

Command Description Syntax Command Function

{aa*iCH}Clear Alarm History

where i = 1, 2, 3, or 4 designating the switch number
aa = unit address, range = 00 to 31, only used if interface is RS485, otherwise omit.

R = command code

This command will clear the state of the designated switch's alarm history.

example: {aa*iCH}

The unit will reply with the '>' character if the command is sucessfully processed.

where: {aaCXxx} Set RS485 Address

aa = unit address, range = 00 to 31, only used if interface is RS485, otherwise omit.

X = command code

XX = unit address, range = 00 to 31
example: {CX12} will set the unit's RS485 address to 12.
The unit will reply with the '>' character if the command is sucessfully processed.

The following tables summarize the status requests/queries applicable to the 1582-421L Switch.
* PLEASE NOTE: The two character {aa} prefix, shown in the table below, is present ONLY when RS485 is selected.

Status Requests specific to a switch must be preceeded by *i where i is the switch number.
