Kameleon 2000 Series Frames
Introduction
Kameleon 2000T1 and 2000T3 frame models support Kameleon multifunction and 2000 Series modules, as well as 8900 modules with the 2000A89
Adapter. These modules provide a wide range of analog and digital processing including signal distribution, format conversion, and HDTV up
and down conversion. They are designed to handle a wide variety of signal
types: HDTV, SDTV, Analog, AES, and Data. The line of Wideband Distribution Amplifiers provide an easy upgrade path from SD to HD video.
The high-bandwidth frames provide flexible I/O with each module type
installed. Front-installed modules are connected to rear I/O modules that
provide the connector type required for the application. To minimize signal
losses resulting from the higher speed HDTV signals, front-to-rear module
connections are direct rather than through the motherboard (refer to
Figure 2 on page 17).
1
The Kameleon 2000 Series features include:
•Wide bandwidth performance handling HDTV, SDTV, up and down
conversion, analog audio and video, and compressed data formats,
•Twelve media modules in a three rack unit (3 RU) 2000T3 frames or four
in the one rack unit (1 RU) 2000T1frames,
•Ethernet interface with 2000NET module installed,
•Genlock timing with 2000GEN module installed,
•Mid-plane design enabling flexible I/O,
•Hot-swappable power supplies,
•Sufficient cooling and power for any combination of modules and conditions,
•Compatibility with selected 8900 modules when using the 2000A89

Power Supplies
Network Slot (13)
There are two types of 2000 Series power supplies — one for use in the 3 RU
2000T3 frame (model 2000PS) and one for use in the 1 RU 2000T1 frame
(model 2000PS1D).
CAUTION Check the label at the power supply connector end to verify the type of supply
before installing it in the frame. Keying is used to prevent the insertion of the
wrong supply. Damage to the power supply and frame can result from forcing
the wrong supply into the frame.
Power supplies are shipped separately and should be installed after the
frame is in the equipment rack. In the 2000T3 frame, the top and bottom
frame slots (19 and 21) on the right side are allocated for 2000PS power
supply sleds (see Figure 9). The 2000PS sled is keyed for use in the 2000T3
frame only. If the frame has only one power supply sled, it should reside in
slot 19 for maximum cooling. Up to two optional fan modules can be
installed in slots 19, 20, or 21. All three slots will accept a fan module.

Rear Modules
When installing a front and rear media module pair, the rear module
should be installed first. When a front slot active module is installed, it
requires a passive connector module in the associated rear module slot. The
passive rear module allows flexibility in selection of I/O connectors.
NoteConnector configuration overlays are available for many 2000 modules that
use the standard Coax Passive Rear Module (Coax PRM) with ten BNC connectors. These overlays are found at the back of the module instruction
manual.
Figure 12 illustrates a passive rear connector module. The installation pro-
cedure is the same for active and passive rear modules.

This section contains general frame service information concerning:
•Power supply monitoring and troubleshooting,
•Power supply and fan replacement, and
•Maintenance.
For specific module service information, refer to the individual module
manuals.
CAUTION Servicing equipment which is still under warranty may result in that warranty
being void. Contact your Grass Valley distributor or Grass Valley Customer
Support before servicing.
WARNING Failure to disconnect power before servicing equipment may result in
severe shock or burns. Be sure to disconnect the power cord(s) before servicing the equipment.
Kameleon Frames Instruction Manual43
Section 5 — Service
Power Supplies
The Grass Valley 2000 Series Power Supply sleds are designed to carry two
24V power supplies. The two supplies are load-sharing in the 2000T3 and
redundant in the 2000T1 frame. In the 3 RU 2000T3 frame, a second power
supply sled can be added for redundancy. The 2000PSD1 supply for the
1 RU 2000T1 frame is a dual redundant supply.
Line voltage selection is not required for the 2000 Series power supplies.
They adjust automatically to accept between 90 to 132 V or 180 to 264 VAC
through the AC line cord connected to the rear of the frame. The supply
delivers regulated +24 VDC to each module installed in the frame. One
power supply is capable of powering a full frame of modules. When a
redundant power supply sled is installed in a 2000T3 frame, internal isolation diodes ensure automatic power supply backup.
The power supply sled with two power supplies and cooling fans is illustrated in Figure 22. The 2000PSD1 sled is keyed to insert in the 2000T1
frame only. The 2000PS sled is keyed to insert in the 2000T3 frame only.

Troubleshooting
Use the following sequence of simple checks in the event of problems with
your 2000 Series power supply. If the problem cannot be determined,
contact your Grass Valley distributor or the Grass Valley Customer Support.
CAUTION Equipment may contain static-sensitive components. Use properly grounded
test equipment and work only in static protected areas to avoid damage.
1. Check Associated Equipment.
Before proceeding with troubleshooting, check that the equipment
connected to the 2000 Series frame is operating correctly. Check all
input signals to the frame to be sure they are present; make sure cables
are not defective and are properly connected.
2. Check Power.
Check the LEDs on the power supply front panel. The two green LEDs
should be illuminated when power is applied. If not, check that the
power cable is connected to a source of power. Verify whether there is
power available at the power main. If any LED still does not light, use
a voltmeter to verify that the +24V is truly not present at the associated
testpoint (checking for a failed LED). If the voltage does not register on
the testpoint (see Figure 24), replace the power supply with a
known-good supply.

3. Check Control Settings.
If there is any question about the correct function or operation of any
control, refer to the appropriate module manual. If proper control
settings do not help, go on to the next check.
4. Module Exchange.
If spare modules are available, module exchange is the most efficient
method of localizing a problem. This is especially true if you are not
familiar with the internal operation of the 2000 Series or its modules.
5. Visual Checks.
Visually check modules in which the trouble appears to be located.
Many problems can be located by visible indication, such as connectors
not seated or loose cables.
6. Check Voltages.
Begin by looking at the block diagrams located in each module manual.
This will provide a quick understanding of the module. Use an
oscilloscope or voltmeter to check that the voltages are correct.
46Kameleon Frames Instruction Manual
Fan Replacement
A fan failure is reported through the 2000NET module (if present) to the
Health Alarm Relay (2000T3 frame only) as a simple alarm closure. Using
the GUI you can select the frame status display to see Fan Status and click
on the suspect power supply sled to see which fan is reporting a failure (see
the 2000NETNetwork Interface Module Instruction Manual for details).
If a fan needs to be replaced, contact Grass Valley Customer Support to
order the appropriate replacement fan. To install a new fan, refer to
Figure 25 while performing the following:
1. Remove the frame front cover and slide the power supply sled out.
