Getting Started

Packaging

The shipping carton and packaging materials
provide protection for the module during transit.
Please retain the shipping cartons in case
subsequent shipping of the product becomes
necessary.

Product Description

The R FR 5010 / R FR 5011 is a high quality 2 RU high
19 inch rack frame enclosure for the LYNX Series
5000 CardModules, designed primarily for
broadcast and professional applications.

The rack frame can accept up to 10 Series 5000
CardModules plus an optional controller card. All
modules are installed from the front. Module
connection plates are supplied with each
CardModule and are mounted on the rear of the
rack to align CardModule installed. All
CardModules and power supplies are hot
swappable.

The R FR 5010 / R FR 5011 features connections for
remote alarming, serial control and a local
extension port. A LAN connection is also provided
for use with the optional R CT 5030 Master
Controller.

Optional redundant power capability can be
installed and two separate AC power connections
are provided for maximum isolation. The power
supplies have sophisticated power filtering with
microprocessor control for power monitoring and
communication with the control system. An on

Page 10

Reference Manual R FR 5010 Version1.4

board multifunction LED has various states to
indicate different alarm conditions and a separate

GPO alarm output is provided for connection to an
external monitoring system.

The system is convection cooled plus forced air­cooling (low noise fans) so it can be used in areas
where noise level is critical. Power supplies have a
small temperature controlled DC micro fan, which
is only used when needed and is also low-noise
when operating.

The R FR 5011 rack frame has a front cover with
integrated fans for applications, where no external
forced cooling is available or if modules with high
power dissipation are used in this rack frame.

All electrical contacts inside the R FR 5010 / R FR
5011, the CardModules and power supplies are
gold plated ensuring maximum reliability and
protection from corrosion.

The R FR 5010 is the primary building block in the
LYNX Series 5000 CardModule system that provides
high quality, modularity and flexibility in a very small
form factor.

Power Supply

The R FR 5010 / R FR 5011 includes the primary
power supply. A second identical power supply
can be added for redundancy. The Power supply is
a sophisticated design designed for critical
applications and includes power filtering and
integral microprocessor. This monitors the supply
operation and reports into the control system.
Should a fault develop, the errors are alarmed in
the following ways:

• Via the LED located on the front of the supply
(Figure 4).

• Via a GPO alarm via the alarm connector on
the termination panel (figure 5), if a controller
option is fitted

• Via the control system (if installed)

If the redundant power supply is installed, the
system will switch supplies automatically in the
event of primary supply failure, with no interruption
to the normal operation of the rack.

The supply has a noiseless integral DC fan for
cooling.

The supply is installed and removed from the front
of the rack. Removing the rack front cover plate
provides access. The supply is secured firmly in
place with a screw located at the bottom front of
the unit (figure 4).

Alarm Function

This function requires the controller option. The user
can assign triggers for the preferred Major / Minor
and No Alarm conditions using the controller and
supplied software.
The alarm connector provides GPO contacts for 2
alarm levels and a GPI input for future use. This
allows for the connection of an external monitoring
system. Alarm conditions are triggered by the
optional control system and will vary depending on
the configuration of the system and user
preferences.

For critical failures in the rack a contact can be
closed between Alarm Minor and Alarm Common.
Some examples of “critical” type failures are listed
below*:

• Over temperature

• Redundant Power Supply Failure

For major failures in the rack a contact can be
closed between Alarm Major and Alarm Common.
Some examples of “major” failures in the rack are:

• Loss of Power

Extend Connection

Bus Extension. This connection is used to interface
racks together when using the optional LYNX
control system. This is a simple (and inexpensive)
way to extend the reach of the host RCT 5020
controller into several more racks fitted with RCT
5010 bus expanders. It uses a proprietary LYNX
control interface and this connection is physically
daisy chained between all connected racks.
Connection details can be seen in the table below.

The connection is a 9 pin SubD female connector.

Control Connection

An external Control Interface is provided on the
rear termination panel. When an R CT 5020 Rack
Controller (or R CT 5030 Master Controller) is fitted
to the rack this port can be used for two primary
functions:

1. When configured as a RS 232 serial port this can
be connected directly to a PC running the LYNX
control software.

2. When configured for RS 422 operation this port is
used to daisy chain other racks fitted with R CT
5020 Rack controllers (up to 15 additional racks)

Note. Please refer to the R CT 5020 Reference
Manual for details on how to re-configure the port
and more detail on the use of this control interface.

connectivity into a control system. To be
operational this port requires the R CT 5030 Master
Controller is fitted to the rack. Please see the
reference manual for the R CT 5030 for more details
on the use of this connection

External Sync Connection

An external sync reference (loop through
connection) can be connected for the rack. This
provides a common genlock reference for the
modules installed in the chassis. Sync signal can be
black or composite analog sync NTSC or PAL. This is
to provide a common reference to all modules
installed in the rack and can simplify the distribution
of the reference signal in some system applications.

Rack Configuration

Assembly

If starting with an empty R FR 5010 / R FR 5011 rack
frame please follow the following steps for correct
installation of the Series 5000 Card Modules

Rack Layout Considerations

If you have a variety of module types it’s a good
idea to plan the order in which you install the
various CardModules. While a module can occupy
any of the 10 available slots provided,
consideration can be given to the position of the
modules in the rack to facilitate external wiring.
Figure 10 shows a layout example.

Rear Connection Plates

The series 5000 CardModule is supplied with a
connection plate and two screws. This is fitted to
the rear of the rack frame behind the module.
Position the connection pate on the rear mounting
rails (figure 2) and secure with the two screws
provided. Do not fully tighten the screws initially.
Test fit the module into the rack and make sure the
edge connector from the CardModule is aligned
correctly with the connection plate. When
alignment is correct, tighten the two screws.
Remove and insert the CardModule a few times to
check installation. If the CardModule sticks, or
installation is in anyway difficult loosen the
connection pate screws and check alignment.
Repeat this process for each CardModule.

Note. It is important to note the order of the
CardModules on the front of the rack.

Page 24

Reference Manual R FR 5010 Version1.4

Redundant Power Supply

The basic RFR 5010 / R FR 5011 is supplied with the
primary power supply installed. The redundant
supply (option) is installed next to the primary
supply.

Remote Controller

Depending on your system design you may have
one of the LYNX controller options available (RCT
5010, R CT 5020 or R CT 5030). Install the controller
into the first module slot next to the power supply(s).
Please refer to documentation supplied with the
controller CardModule on the configuration and
use of the LYNX controller options.

Hot Swapping

Power Supplies

The Series 5000 CardModules and Power Supplies
are fully hot swappable in the event of a fault or
failure.

Power Supply Failure

A failure in the Primary power supply will
automatically trigger the use of the redundant
supply (if fitted) and will trigger the following alarm
conditions / indications(requires controller option).

• Reported fault on the monitoring system

• Alarm GPO trigger on the alarm connector (see

Alarm Connections section)

• Front Panel LED (normally green) will go out (See

Alarm / Status indication section)

Once identified, the defective supply can be
removed and replaced with power connected
with no interruption to the operation of the
CardModules.

CardModules

If a CardModule fails the error will be reported over
the monitoring system and via the front side alarm
LED. Alarm function is module dependant so please
refer to the CardModule manual for failure
conditions and indications. The defective
CardModule can be removed and replaced with
an identical replacement without removing power
from the frame.

Page 27

Reference Manual R FR 5010 Version1.4

Rack Installation

If you have an empty R FR 5010 rack frame we
recommend you assemble the connection plates
and modules as well as any options such as the
redundant power supply and controller before
mounting the Rack Frame into a 19” inch rack.
(Please refer to assembly section)

Location

The R FR 5010 Rack frame can be located
anywhere there is available 19-inch rack space.
The rack will take up 2 Rack Units (RU) of vertical
rack space.

Ventilation

Depending on the installed modules up to three
R FR 5010 rack frames can be mounted stacked,
with no space in-between. Allowance has been
made in the design providing space between the
racks for adequate air ventilation. Every third rack
there should be 1 RU space provided for additional
airflow.

NOTE: In case of modules with higher power
dissipation, e.g. P VD 5010, appropriate cooling is
required. We recommend in these cases to add 1
RU space in between each rack.
The R FR 5011 with a front cover with integrated fans
should be used for critical applications where
external cooling is not sufficient.

Note. Airflow through the R FR 5010 rack frame is

from bottom to top. Forced (fan) cooling may be
required in case of modules with higher power
dissipation. Please consider other surrounding
equipment when designing rack layout. Placing the
R FR 5010 directly above another piece of
equipment with heat exhaust from the top may
cause the Card Modules to malfunction due to
excessive heat. Like wise, if placed below another
piece of equipment with bottom air intake the R FR

Page 28

Reference Manual R FR 5010 Version1.4

5101 rack frame may (due to the small airflow gap)
restrict the flow of air to this piece of equipment.
Also do not place equipment or objects on top of
the R FR 5010 rack frame that could restrict airflow
from the top of the rack. This may cause
malfunction and damage due to excessive heat
buildup.

Mechanical Installation

The R FR 5010 / R FR 5011 is secured into a standard
19-inch rack using 4 standard rack screws. Remove
front cover panel for installation, which allows
access to the rack ears (figure 3 shows location).
Rear support of the rack using rack rails is
