Electromagnetic Radiation Notice

The following information is given to note compliance with the United States Government Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules (47 CFR Part 15) designed to limit interference to radio and TV reception. The ruling establishes measurement procedures and frequency criteria for Class A computing devices (commercial and industrial applications) with the following conduction and radiation limits:

CLASS A COMPUTING DEVICE: CONDUCTION LIMIT (Part 15.812)

Frequency (MHz) Maximum RF Line Voltage (uV)

0.45 - 1.6 1000

1.6 - 30 3000

CLASS A COMPUTING DEVICE: RADIATION LIMIT (Section 15.810)

Frequency (MHz) Distance (meters) Field Strength (uV/m)

30 - 88 30 30 88 - 216 30 50 216 - 1000 30 70

The policy of Thomson is one of continual development and improvement. For that reason Thomson uses components and manufacturing techniques that provide the current state-of-the-art suppression of electromagnetic radiation. This equipment, in production before October 1, 1981, has not been tested to the above listed measurements. However, equipment such as this delivered after October 1, 1983 will have the measurements on record at the factory. Therefore, in compliance with the stated FCC Regulation, the following information is provided for the user:

NOTE

Interference to Radio Communications

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. As temporarily permitted by regulation it has not been tested for compliance with the limits for Class A computing devices pursuant to Subpart J of of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

General

The CP-32GPI is a single-bus remote control panel for the Triton series routing switchers. The panel offers input select buttons on the top row. The input buttons have different colors for displaying both video and audio status during breakaway operations. The panel works hardware addressed on one of the routers outputs. The last selected output will be indicated with color in the button. On the left-hand side the panel provides 4 function keys with following functions:

• TAKE Executes the last operation

• TAKE ON/OFF Enables / disables Take function

• AUDIO / VIDEO Enables Audio, Video or AFV

• ENABLE Enables panel

The GPI part of the panel has 32 inputs for connection to external relays contacts, joystick or similar. The GPI outputs (Tally) provide 32 lamp drivers reflecting the status of the video level. Please see chapter 6 for further information.
