2. Introduction

Chapter 2 provides an introduction to the NV5256 User’s Guide. It presents the following topics:

Prerequisites

Please observe the following important prerequisites:

Overview

The NV5256 is a machine control router — a successor to the NV3256. A machine control router transmits control messages and responses between devices such as VTRs and edit stations.

Physically, the NV5256 has an 8RU frame that holds the following items:

• Prerequisites

• Overview

• Installation

• Functions

• Equipment and software properly installed.

• NV9000 requirements met.

• All control panels properly configured.

• 16 I/O cards (RS-422/485 or RS-232)

• 16 RJ-45 backplanes.

• 2 expansion cards (for redundancy).

• 2 control cards (for redundancy).

• 2 power supplies (for redundancy).

A single NV5256 frame provides a 256×256 routing matrix. Two NV5256 frames can be connected in tandem, using expansion cables, to provide a 512×512 matrix. A frame need not be fully populated. The NV5256 can be as minimal as a 16×16 router.

The following figures show the NV5256 features.

Overview

I/O Signals

I/O signals are serial (either RS-422 or RS-232) at up to 115.2 kBaud. Signals are bidirectional: commands in one direction; responses in the other.

A port can be considered a “controlled” port or a “controlling” port.

For example, a recording VTR sends signals from an edit list to various source machines in an edit suite.

In most, if not all, cases a controlling device must communicate with a controlled device and not another controlling device. (The reason is that a transmitter must connect to a receiver.)

S The Tx-to-Rx connection, of course, depends on the cable. Straight-through cables are consid-

ered preferable.

Router Configuration

The NV5256 router has several configurable options. It supports several signal options that can be configured for each port.

The router can be (and must be) configured to operate according to your system constraints. You will need to specify the size of the router matrix, the type of ports, communication parameters, and so on.

Your router control system must also be configured. In an NV9000 router control system, you will specify source and destination device names, router names, levels, level sets, and so on.

The NV5256 itself must be initialized through UniConfig.

Router Control

The NV5256 can be controlled by an NV9000 Router Control System. An NV9000 system controls one or more routers of different types. Central to the system are the NV9000 servers. The NV9000 can include one or more control panels with which operators may perform routes through the NV5256 and through other routers.

Alternatively, you can use a compatible third-party control system such as the SMS7000.

S Using an SMS7000 control system requires specially configured router control cards.

NV5256 Machine Control Router • User’s Guide 5

2. Introduction

Overview

The NV5256 has these control connections:

Router Expansion

Two NV5256 frames can be connected to create an expanded router. Six expansion ports are at the top right at the rear of the router. There are 6 BNC connections

Router Options

• Ethernet, from an NV9000 router/panel network (through a switch), to primary and redundant control cards.

• Serial control from primary server and secondary server to primary and secondary control cards (4 connections).

• Video reference (4 connections). Loop-through for main and redundant reference signal.

• AES reference. Two BNC and two STP connectors for each control card.

• “Node Bus” interface for SMS7000.

• System alarm outputs and power supply alarm outputs

— 3 coming in and 3 going out.

Breakout Panel

A 64-port breakout panel is available that has RJ-45 connectors on one side and DE9 (female) connectors on the other. This panel can make it easier to use DE9 connectors if you prefer them.

Functions

SMS7000

If you are using an SMS7000 router control system, you will require an SMS7000 mezzanine card installed on all router control cards.

The NV5256 router can be configured with partitions of 4 types. Each partition is considered a physical level. The physical levels can be of 4 “signal types.” The signal types accommodate the different characteristics of Miranda’s NVISION series routers and third-party routers.

Any of the router’s ports can be specified as one of 7 different types, generally configuring the port as a controlling port, a controlled port, or a port whose type can be changed dynamically.

The port types accommodate (1) the different devices you might have in use and (2) the connection requirements that differ between RS-422 and RS-232 ports.

The signal types and port types are specifiable as parameters in UniConfig. Those parameters, however, affect the behavior and operating characteristics of the router, which are discussed briefly here.

See Chapter 4, Configuration

on page 27 for more information.

Signal Types

Four “signal types” are available:

Machine Control Forward Machine Control Broadcast

Machine Control Reverse DataXY

NV5256 physical levels in NV9000 router control systems always are “machine control forward.” Third-party control systems are “machine control reverse.”

A controlling device sends commands to a controlled device. The controlled device passes responses (such as status) back to the controlling device. A source device can be a controlling device or a controlled device. A destination device can be a controlling device or a controlled device.

When you are configuring some NV9000 control panels, you can create a “source is master” button that toggles whether the source or the destination is the master (i.e., controlling device).

Some control panels have a broadcast button that allows one source to control multiple destination devices. (“Source is master” is a requirement for machine control broadcast.)

Machine Control Forward

“Machine control forward” means that the source device is the controlling device.

Machine Control Reverse

“Machine control reverse” means that the destination device is the controlling device.

NV5256 Machine Control Router • User’s Guide 7

2. Introduction

Functions

Machine Control Broadcast

This level type applies only to third-party router control systems. Use this level type if you have a third-party control system and you want to be able to perform broadcast machine control takes.

DataXY

“DataXY” is a type of physical level on which data flow, much like video and audio signals in a normal X/Y router. There is no concept of command and response on this type of level.

Port Types

Seven port types are available:

Controlling and Controlled

These port settings fix the direction of the router port to “controlling” or “controlled.” The port’s connection for Tx and Rx is fixed. This allows the port to be routed as a source or destination while maintaining, for example, Rx on pins 7 and 2 and Tx on pins 8 and 3.

Controlling DTE Master Dynamic

Controlled DCE Slave

S Pins for Tx on a controlling machine are 8 and 3. Tx pins for a controlled machine are 7 and 2.

S For more about machine control data, review the SMPTE 207M standard.

DTE

DTE has the same meaning for RS-232 as “controlling” does for RS-422.

DCE

DCE has the same meaning for RS-232 as “controlled” does for RS-422.

Dynamic

A dynamic port can be a controlling or controlled port depending on whether it is connected to a master port or slave port. The port’s configuration is dynamic and can change during operation.

Dynamic ports are typically assigned to VTRs.

Master

Any dynamic port connected to a “master” port will be a controlled port.

The NV5256 applies logic to the port direction setting when a master port is connected to a dynamic port. In this case, the machine at the dynamic port is always controlled and the machine at the master port is always controlling.

A good example is an Avid editor controlling two VTRs.

Slave

“Slave” means the opposite of “master”: any dynamic port connected to a slave port will be a controlling port.

2. Introduction

Installation

Summary

In general, a controlling machine must connect, through the router, to a controlled machine. That is because Tx must connect to Rx and vice versa.

S In NV9000-SE Utilities, when you add the NV5256 router to your system, set ‘Signal Type’ to

‘Machine Control’. Also set both ‘Output Protect’ and ‘Output Lock’ to ‘In Server’.

S In NV9000-SE Utilities, when you configure a control panel, ‘semi-automatic’ is the preferred

setting for ‘XY data routing mode’. This is defined in the SE documentation:

“If the device to be acquired is already in use on the data level, alert the user user to perform the route by pressing ‘Take’ a second time. If ‘Take’ is not pressed again, the route is cancelled. If the device is not in use, the take occurs automatically. This is the recommended mode.”

The alternatives are ‘fully automatic’ and ‘manual’.

S In NV9000-SE Utilities, you have the choice of making “source is master” the control panel

default or not.

Installation

The NV5256 is intended to mount in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The frame is heavy (approximately 100

lb, or 45 kg, fully loaded). Enlist the help of several persons during the mount-

ing process.

To help reduce weight, you can remove the power supplies and modules temporarily. Make note of their location prior to removal. Do not drop or stack the modules.

To mount the equipment frame into a rack:

1 Swing the front door open all the way and then lift it up to remove it.

2 Lift the frame into the desired position within the rack. Have several helpers keep the frame in

position. Or use a jack.

3 Do not use the cards or other internal components as hand holds. Follow anti-static precautions

to protect the circuit boards. The handle on the bottom rear of the frame may be used for lifting the frame.

4 Install rack screws into the 8 holes provided. It is important to use all 8 screw holes.

5 Replace any assemblies (power supplies, circuit cards) that you removed and replace the front

door.

The front rack-mounting brackets include keyway openings to accept an optional lifting bar. If you wish, you can obtain a lifting bar by contacting your sales representative or Miranda Technical Support.

S Warni ng: Disconnect power, if it is connected, before mounting the frame in the rack.

S Warni ng: The NV5256 draws cooling air from the front through the door and exhausts it at the

top rear edge of the frame. Make certain that airflow is not blocked at these locations. If air flow is restricted, overheating may occur. The frame must have its door installed and closed for proper airflow through the chassis. Filters are located on the inside of the door assembly and should be maintained regularly.

S Rear panel cover plates (placed in backplane slots that have no backplanes) are essential for

cooling. Although you can remove them temporarily, make sure that unused backplane slots have cover plates during normal operation.

3. Detail

Chapter 3 describes the structure and use of the NV5256 Machine Control Router. It presents the following topics:

Connections

The rear of the router has a bay that holds up to 16 I/O backplanes. Unused backplane slots are generally covered with a plate that improves cooling air flow. Each backplane has 16 RJ-45 connectors. All the backplanes are identical, but the I/O cards are of two types: RS-422 and RS-232.

S Ports on a single card are either all RS-422 or all RS-232.

To the left of the backplanes are a variety of control connectors and reference connectors. To the right of the backplanes are expansion connectors and power connectors.

S A secondary (router) control card is for redundancy and is not required. If you have an

expanded system (two router frames), make connections only to one frame. The frame to which you make connections is the “master” frame and it controls the second frame.

Serial Control

The CTRL1 and CTRL2 ports are DE9, female, RS-422. See Control Port Connectors, page 43, for their pinout information.

You can use these connectors for control using a serial protocol from (1) a primary or secondary NV9000 router control system, (2) a primary or secondary third-party router control system, or (4) a router automation system.

Cases:

1 If you are using an NV9000 control system with a serial protocol or if you are using a third-

party control system, connect the primary CTRL1 port to a COM port on the control system’s server. Similarly connect the secondary CTRL1 port if your router has a secondary control card.

2 If you have a redundant server, connect the primary CTRL2 port to a COM port on the redun-

dant server. Similarly connect the secondary CTRL2 port if your router has a secondary control card.

3 If you do not have a redundant server, but have an automation system, connect the primary

CTRL2 port to a COM port of the automation system. Similarly connect the secondary CTRL2 port if your router has a secondary control card.

Connections

Ethernet Control

The Ethernet connectors are used when you have an NV9000 connected using an Ethernet protocol.

Cases:

1 If you are using an NV9000 control system with an Ethernet protocol, connect the primary

Ethernet port to the “Router/Panel” network switch connected to the NV9000 server. Similarly connect the secondary Ethernet port if your router has a secondary control card.

2 If you have a redundant server, then no router connections are required, but the redundant

server should be connected to the “Router/Panel” network switch.

3 If you have an automation system, connect a COM port of the automation system to either pri-

mary serial port, CTRL1 or CTRL2. Similarly connect a COM port to either secondary serial port if your router has a secondary control card.

The server’s COM ports must be set up to be compatible with the router’s serial ports— the same Baud rate, parity settings and so on.

An automation system’s COM ports must also be compatible with the router’s serial ports.

Diagnostic Ports

These ports are for configuration, firmware uploads, and testing. The ports are typically used with UniConfig to initialize either the primary control card or the secondary control card.

The DIAG ports are not used during normal operation.

See Chapter 4, Configuration

, on page 27, for information about UniConfig and its use.

AES Reference

AES reference is used to “clock-lock” the data traffic between two frames in an expanded router. If you have a stand-alone router, you do not need AES reference.

If you do have an expanded router, choose one of the following 2 methods:

1 Supply an AES reference to the primary control card of both frames. You can use either connec-

tor. If you have a secondary control card, supply an AES reference to that also.

If you are using an SMS7000 router control system with the NV5256, connect the SMS7000 to the NVISION Aux Bus (a.k.a. Node Bus) connector.

The NV5256 has two aux bus connections. The connection is loop-through: you can pass the SMS7000 “node bus” control signals on to another device if it is required. You can connect a redundant control system on the “node bus.”

If you are using an SMS7000 control system, terminate the “node bus” with 75Ω terminators.

S Using an SMS7000 requires an SMS7000 mezzanine card installed on each router control card.

Jumpers J4 and J6 must be set. See Jumpers

The NV5256 provides video reference connections ‘VIDEO REF 1’ and ‘VIDEO REF 2’. These connections allow you to synchronize port switches with a video frame’s switch point. The video reference can be NTSC, PAL, or tri-level sync.

S Tri-level sync is not supported on older EM0374 control cards.

At least one video reference connection must be connected. Otherwise, the control card’s front red LED remains lit and takes will not occur at defined switch points.

Redundant Reference

There are two video reference connections. You can use the reference connectors in 2 ways:

• Single reference.

• Redundant reference.

THE MAINS

The NV5256 frame has one (IEC) 3-conductor power connection for each of its 2 power supplies. These should be connected to a 90–130VAC or 180–250VAC 15A grounded circuit wired in accordance with local electrical codes.

Fuses for both AC power inputs are located on their respective power supplies. Ensure that the fuse ratings comply with specific requirements in your area. A 7.5A fuse is required for 110/120VAC applications. For 220/240VAC operation, a 3.75A fuse is required.

AC connector for PS 1

AC connector for PS 2

For increased protection against loss of power, we suggest that each power supply be connected to a separate branch circuit. A wire bail can be used to grip the power cable and hold it in place to reduce the possibility of accidental loss of power.

The power cords represent the only means of disconnecting main power from the NV5256. Make sure to clearly mark the line side power connection with its function so that in the event of an emergency, power can be disconnected quickly. Make sure to disconnect both power cords before servicing any internal frame components.

Power Supply

The PS61001 power supply accepts a wide range of AC input voltages and produces five +48 VDC outputs. Each of the five circuits producing the +48 volt outputs is identical. The power supply automatically senses the AC input voltage (90–130VAC or 180–250VAC) and adjusts itself to maintain a relatively constant DC output. You do not have to select the voltage. The five regulated outputs are directed to the various regulators that produce the DC voltages required by the local circuits.

Each +48VDC output powers one of the five green LEDs and output test points on the front of the power supply. Under normal operation, all five LEDs should be on. If any is not, it is likely that the corresponding branch circuit has failed. When the power supply output voltages are measured at the test points, the voltage should be approximately +48 VDC under a full load. If modules have been removed from the frame or options are not installed, some or all of the test point voltages could be somewhat higher than +48 VDC.

1. Older master control frames in the field might still use PS6000 power supplies.

I/O Cables

All ports are serial, either RS-422 or RS-232, operating at up to 115.2kBaud. The backplane interface is RJ-45. Each RJ-45 port on each port backplane has the following pinout:

Port Cards

3. Detail

Port Cards

The NV5256 has slots for 16 port I/O cards. Each card supports 16 inputs from its corresponding backplane. There are two types of port cards:

• The EM0503-01 module, supporting RS-422/485.

• The EM0503-50 module, supporting RS-232.

Other than this distinction, the cards are functionally identical. You can install any port card in any slot that is useful to your system design.

S The NV5128 frame and its I/O cards are nearly identical in appearance to the NV5256 frame

and its I/O cards. Therefore, the NV5256 cards and slots are keyed so that you cannot successfully insert an NV5128 card into the NV5256 frame.

LEDs

Five LEDs are on the front of the card. (Note that there is metal card extender in front of the card. The LEDs are nevertheless visible.) There names and functionality are as follows:

Name Color Function

Alarm Red A power rail is under voltage by 10% or more.

Power Green The power rails are good.

FGPA Loaded Yellow The FPGA has loaded properly.

COM Good Green Communication with the router control card is good.

COM Bad Red Communication with the router control card is bad.

The LEDs are listed in the order they appear at the front of the card.

Under normal operation, the ‘Power’ light is green, the ‘FPGA loaded’ light is yellow, and the ‘COM good’ light is green. The other lights are off.

Another LED frame’s expansion link is invalid. This LED is red. It lights when the frame’s expansion cards are absent or when the frame receives errors from the expansion card. In a stand-alone router, this LED will be on.

The NV5256 can be expanded to a maximum of 512 ports. To accomplish this, interconnect two NV5256 frames. The frames share each other’s input space. The first frame receives commands from the router control system and acts as the master to the second frame.

The interconnect is simple and uses the frame expansion connectors at the back of the frame.

Figure 3-4. Expansion Connectors and Expansion Connections

The frame expansion connectors are driven by the frame expansion cards (EM0502-00) in the frame. A frame really requires only one expansion card; the second is recommended for redundancy. If both cards and links are installed, the frame will switch from one expansion link to the other if the current link goes bad.

A frame expansion card multiplexes (TDM) the local frames inputs and sends them out the frame expansion “Out” port to the other frame. It receives the other frame’s inputs from the “In” port.

Connect the primary input on the master frame to the slave frame’s primary output. Connect the primary output on the master frame to the primary input on the slave frame. If you have a redundant expansion card, connect the secondary expansion connections the same as the primary connections.

The expansion cards have built-in redundancy control. Each card reports its own health to the other card and to the router control card. The first healthy card to start up during initial boot takes over the expansion link and is the main transmitter and receiver. If, at any time, the link becomes “unhealthy,” the other expansion card takes over the expansion link if it is healthy.

You can use 75Ω Belden 8281 cable, up to 250 meters, to make these connections.

The Expansion Card

The NV5256 has 2 slots for expansion cards. A stand-alone router requires no expansion card. One card is required for expansion. The second expansion card provides redundancy.

Release Switch

An expansion card has a front panel reset switch. It forces the active card to release, so that the

other expansion card can take over.

3. Detail

Terminators

LEDs

Three leds are on the front of the card. Their name and functionality are as follows:

Name Function

Alarm Indicates when the serial link is not error-free or the P.S. is bad.

Active Indicates the card is healthy and supplying the Frame TDM stream to the frame.

Health Indicates Good power, Good Serial link, FPGA loaded

A red ‘serial link error’ LED is in the center of the card. This LED indicates whether the frame TDM link is invalid (has data bit errors).

Clock Lock

For the expanded router to operate correctly, the frames must be “clock-locked” to each other. The following is a list of ways to accomplish the clock locked frames.

1 Supply an AES reference to both frames.

2 Connect the primary AES reference output on the master frame to the primary AES reference

input of the slave frame. If you have a redundant expansion card, connect the secondary AES reference output of the master frame to the second AES reference input of the slave frame.

The video reference does not lock the cards.

If the frames are not clock-locked, data errors will occur when the router uses ports across video frame boundaries.

Inter-Frame Communication

The expansion connections transport machine control data.

Additionally, the two frames must communicate with each other. Connect one 10Base2 connector on the master frame, with 50Ω coaxial cable, to a 10Base2 connector on the slave frame. Place a 50Ω terminator on each unused 10Base2 connector.

Terminators

10Base2

The NV5256 ships with two 50Ω terminators for each frame. The terminators are required for an expanded router.

S In older routers, termination for a stand-alone router is required. In newer routers, it is not.

If you have an expanded router, use terminators as described under Inter-Frame Communication

Ethernet

The NV5256 ships with 1 Ethernet terminator for each router control card. These terminators are required if you do not use Ethernet (for example, if you are using a third-party router control sys-

Chapter 4 describes the structure and use of the NV5256 Machine Control Router. It presents the following topics:

Summary

• Summary

• UniConfig—Stage 1

• UniConfig—Stage 2

There are several phases to configuring an NV5256 router.

1 Use UniConfig (first) to define its network address and (second) to define its basic partitions

and specify its port types.

2 Then, use the NV9000 “browser” application or NV9000-SE Utilities to define its device con-

nections and “add” the router to the router control system.

We discuss UniConfig briefly. Refer to the NV9000 User’s Guide and the NV9000-SE Utilities documentation for additional information.

UniConfig runs on a PC that you will connect to your router control card. In all cases, to launch UniConfig, do either of the following:

1 Double-click UniConfig.exe in the software folder. The default pathname is:

C:\nvision\utils\UniConfig.exe

2 Double-click a UniConfig icon on your desktop:

UniConfig— Stage 1

You must assign IP addresses to the NV5256’s router control card(s) before you proceed with other configuration steps.

8 If you have an expanded NV5256 (2 frames for a 512×512 matrix) choose ‘Master’ when you

are configuring a control card in the “master” frame. Choose ‘Slave’ when you are configuring a control card in the ‘slave’ frame. (You will have to designate one frame as the master.). The display changes according to which option you selected:

9 Populate the physical level section according to the requirements of your system. There are sev-

eral options, especially concerning signal type. This is an example:

See Signal Types

10 After specifying the physical levels, go back to the ‘Expansion’ section, and verify that you

have chosen the right option (standalone, master, or slave) and that you have entered the correct range of inputs and outputs for the option you have chosen.

11 When everything is correct, click ‘Write All’ (next to ‘Read All’) to send the configuration data

to the NV5256. Now the router control card has its IP address and its basic partitioning.

12 Repeat this entire process for each router control card in each NV5256 frame. The redundant

control card in any frame should be configured the same as the primary control card.

S You can ignore the ‘Card Address’ field. It is not used.

You can now proceed to stage 2. You will rarely, if ever, repeat stage 1.

UniConfig— Stage 2

When stage 1 is complete, you can perform more detailed configuration and you can use a higher speed connection to do so. You can use the Ethernet connection to the control card or you can use the ‘DIAG’ serial port for the control card. Both are at the rear of the NV5256.

If you are running UniConfig on an NV9000 server, the Ethernet connection should already have been established. If you are using a separate PC to configure the router, you might need to reconfigure your PC’s Ethernet port. This can be a nuisance on a separate PC. The serial alternative is easy and very fast, but not quite as complete.

Click ‘Read Outputs’ to obtain the current crosspoint status. You can specify the range of outputs to read.

The table shows the status for each output. Remember that ports are both inputs and outputs, so port 10, for instance, appears in the input column and the output column. The ‘LPR’ column represents the “lock, protect, and release” status of the ports. The term “tristate” indicates that the port is disconnected.

3 To perform a take is simple: specify an input and output in the ‘Single Take’ area at the top left

and click ‘Execute’. Then click ‘Read Outputs’. The example above shows input 10 taken to output 3 where the ports are “machine control reverse.” That is to say, port 3, the output, is for the controlling device and port 10, the input, is for the controlled device.

UniConfig— Stage 2

If the ports’ physical level were designated machine control forward, port 3 (the output) would be the controlled device, and port 10 (the input) would be the controlling device.

4 It is not possible to write any of this to the NV5256 control card, because these takes are not

part of its configuration.

During normal operation, users perform NV5256 takes at NV9000 control panels and automation systems can perform takes using one of the router’s serial connections.

Chapter 5 provides instructions regarding maintenance. It discusses the following topics:

• Routine Maintenance

• Intake Air Filter Cleaning

• Battery Replacement

• Fuse Replacement

• LED Status Indicators

Routine Maintenance

The NV5256 requires very little in the way of routine or preventative maintenance. Other than cleaning the fan air intake filter, all that is required is periodic inspection of the system to make sure no failures have occurred.

You might want to examine the system’s LED Status Indicators tem is operating normally and to make sure that air flow to the power supply fans is unobstructed.

Caution Only qualified service personnel should perform procedures in this section.

very dim indicates a failed or failing supply.

2 Place your hand lightly across the air intakes on the front of the power supplies. You should feel

slight air movement that indicates that the internal cooling fans are running. Use a flashlight to verify that the fan blades are rotating.

3 Examine each I/O card and verify that none of the red alarm LEDs are illuminated. Normally,

the green and yellow LEDs are illuminated. See LED Status Indicators

4 Examine the router control card(s) and verify that the green and yellow LEDs are illuminated

5. Maintenance

Intake Air Filter Cleaning

1 Ensure that there are no missing backplane cover plates. Cover plates (used where there are no

backplanes installed) are required for proper cooling in the frame.

2 Place your hand near the air exhausts (at the top). You should feel strong, evenly distributed air

pressure across the entire opening.

3 Check cable connectors for any sign of unseating.

4 Verify that one or both AC cords are firmly seated at both ends. Make sure that the power cord

retainers on the rear of the frame are in place.

Intake Air Filter Cleaning

The air intake filter is located on the front door assembly of the NV5256. Slide the filter up and to the right to remove it. The process might be easier if you remove the entire door. To remove the door, simply open the door and lift it straight up. The router can be operated safely with the door removed for short periods of time.

Note Be sure to replace and close the door when you are done. The door ensures that

air entering the frame is properly filtered.

If the filter is only lightly contaminated with debris, remove loose debris and dirt with a vacuum cleaner or by blowing air from the clean side to the dirty side. For filters that are badly clogged, a rinse with cold water might prove effective. You can wash the filter with warm water and mild detergent. Make sure the filter is completely dry before re-installing it.

Battery Replacement

A CR2330 lithium coin cell is located on the front edge of the router control card. This battery provides power to maintain the memory contents when power is lost.

If the router control card is continuously powered, the battery should last for several years or more. If the router control card is frequently powered down, the battery should be replaced every 6 months. A red LED, located directly above the battery holder, illuminates when the battery is low.

The battery can be replaced while the router control card is powered up and operating. Simply pull the battery from its holder to remove the spent cell. Insert the replacement in the holder while carefully observing the polarity of the battery.

Note Reinstall battery with positive terminal (+) facing away from the main circuit

board. (That is to your left if the control card is in installed in the frame.) Inserting the battery backwards may result in an explosion.

Fuse Replacement

The I/O cards and the control cards include non-serviceable, self-resetting thermal fuses. These fuses open in the event of a serious overload, preventing major damage. They will self-reset if allowed to cool.

A replaceable AC fuse cartridge is used on the PS6100 power supply modules. The correct fuse is 15A (1.25″ × 0.25″ fast-blow).

The correct fuse for the older PS6000 power supply is given in this table:

90–130VAC 8.0A, 5×20 mm, slow-blow fuse

180–250VAC 6.3A, 5×20

If a fuse fails, locate the cause of the trouble rather than simply replacing the fuse blindly. Although fuses that have been in service for years may fail due to cumulative stress, a fuse normally fails for a significant reason. Please contact Miranda for assistance if a fault cannot be isolated.
