Installation

Mechanical

Stand Alone Operation

The D AD 3220 B MiniModule can be used in a stand alone application. There are two options for the use of the module in this way.
a) Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame 1 option. This
allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch rack mounting. This keeps the modules secured, organized and out of the way. The R PS 3001 power brick option or the R FR 3010 option is required to power each module. Please refer to the R FR 3005 Reference Manual supplied with this option for more details.
b) Single Use. The MiniModule can be powered
independently with the R PS 3001 option and used in any location where this functionality is required.
!
Caution. Care needs to be taken when using the module in this way, as it is not physically secured. Keep the module away from the floor to avoid the risk of someone stepping or tripping on the unit, and locate the unit away from excessive sources of heat and any sources or moisture.
If using more than one MiniModule in any installation, the R FR 3005/3010 Rack frame combination is highly recommended.
Page 12
Reference Manual D AD 3220 B Version 1.0

Multiple Units

Most applications will require more than one MiniModule, which can include any of the available Series 3000 MiniModule product range. There are two options for mounting multiple units.
a) Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame option. This
allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch rack mounting. The R PS 3001 power brick option or the R FR 3010 option is required to power each module. Please refer to the R FR 3005 Reference Manual for more details.
b) Using the R FR 3010 Rack frame extension
option. Can be combined with the R FR 3005 Rack frame option. Each module plugs into a connection bus, which provides common power for all modules. (no R PS external power supplies are needed). Remote control and status monitoring of all modules is possible with the addition of the R CT 5020 rack controller and R CT 5030 master controller options. Please refer to the respective reference manuals for these options for details of mechanical installation.
The very small size and density of the MiniModules combined with the available rack frame options allows the addition of a complex and custom signal distribution system without taking any additional front rack space. The rack frames are designed for installation in the back of 19-inch racks where there is normally plenty of available space. Ideal for mobile truck installations and facility expansions where space is at a premium.

Stand Alone Operation

The MiniModule requires the R PS 3001 power brick option for stand-alone operation. Two versions are available R PS 30001 E for European markets and R PS 30001 U for the US markets. Please ensure you have the correct power option for your region. The connection to the module is made with a small 5­pin connector, which has a twist bayonet securing system. Please make sure the connection is solid and locked in place. A strain relief is included within the module to prevent excessive strain on the connection.
Signal connections should be made with care, please ensure connections are correct and compatible equipment is feeding / receiving the signals from the module or damage can result.
Caution. Only use the optional LYNX R PS 3001 power modules. Please make sure the brick is not connected to the main
! !
supply when making the DC power connection to the module. Ensure the 5­pin power connector is locked securely in place.
Caution. Care needs to be taken when using the module in this way, if it is not physically secured. Keep the module away from the floor to avoid the risk of

Switch Function Detail

All settings are stored in Flash Ram inside the module (see Auto Store section in this manual). Settings will be recalled on power up.
Dip Switch 1
This switch enables local control using the dip­switches. ON enables local control and makes selections on the dipswitch active, and OFF disables local control (locking out any local changes)
Note.
When Switch 1 is initially switched to ON, the static settings currently set on the dip-switches may not reflect the actual configuration stored in the module. This is because all settings can be changed from the remote control system or via the Service Adapter. This overrides the local dip switches regardless of Switch 1 ON/OFF setting. To ensure the module reads the local dip switch settings it is recommended to toggle Switch 1 ON- OFF-ON before making any local changes to the dip switches
.
Dip Switch 2
This switch selects the mode of operation for the module. ON selects dual 1 into 4 mode where each individual AES input is distributed to four outputs. OFF selects 1 into 8 mode where input AES in 1 is distributed to all 8 outputs.

Locate Function

For larger systems which may have multiple MiniModules of the same type in a single rack, or multiple rack systems on a large central control system we have added a useful utility which will help to visually locate a suspect module quickly (When used in conjunction with the optional control system and software)
Once the specific module has been selected on the control system there is a locate button on the top of the GUI:
Locate Function in Control System
When Locate is selected the status indicator on the GUI and the module LED`s will flash yellow in the following continuous sequence.
3 short flashes…. Pause…. 3 short flashes …
This uses the alarm LED located on the front of the module and in some cases any channel or status LED`s that may be used in the module.
Use of the locate function will not interfere with the normal operation of the module.
For more details on this feature please check the documentation supplied with the controller software.
