1 Product overview

The FR202 (-RP) frame, is a compact frame, providing space for up to 20 Flashlink modules, in addition to two fixed positions for power supply modules and one fixed position for a possible future control board.

The frame features maximum flexibility as every module comes with a dedicated backplane module, which takes up n x 7TE spacing. The 3.5TE distance between card positions opens for connection of two Flashlink modules to one 7TE backplane. The number of backplanes with 3.5TE module distance (utilizing all 20 positions) is currently limited, but will be expanded in the future. Each frame can be controlled by a Multicon System Controller card , together with up to 7 other frames.

The sync function makes it possible to provide a common sync signal to all card positions.

Power consumption

The current draw in the Flashlink frame is limited by the power supplies. Overloading the power supplies will cause the power units to malfunction. Please read chapter 2.4 for further details!

Heat dissipation

The heat dissipation is based on convection as well as cooling by fans, and it is therefore very important not to block the warm air exhaust perforations in the chassis.

2 Specifications

2.1 General specifications

AC Power:	PWR-AC-160W
	AC power supply module 100-240VAC.
Redundant Power	PWR-AC-160W
(optional):
Dimensions:	19’’ width 2RU height
Card slots:	20 for Flashlink modules, 1 allocated for a possible future
	board
Power Supply slots	2.
Internal voltages:	+5V, +15V, -15V.
Sync:	Return loss; typical <14dB, 0-5MHz (dependent of the
	quality of the termination at Power C5)
GPI:	Open drain output from each power supply which turns low
	ohmic in an alarm situation.
	To withstand +10VDC (open) and 100mADC (at less than
	50mOhm) (closed)

2.2 Front view

The front view of the frame shows status LEDs for the power supply modules.

Figure 1:Front view of the Flashlink frame.

The two LEDs at the front have the following functions:

Upper LED: Voltage and current alarm, internal voltages

Lower LED: Fan and temperature alarm

2.3 Rear view

Figure 2 shows an example of a fully equipped Flashlink frame, seen from the rear side. The outer left and outer right modules are backplanes for the power supplies and contain connections as follows;

-Left backplane;

oIEC-C14 AC mains inlet

oBNC, sync in

-Right backplane;

oIEC-C14 AC mains inlet

oBNC, sync out

o2pcs. RJ-45 for RS-422 in/out

oRotary switch for programming frame number to be read by Multicon

o4 pin connector, GPI out

*The other connector modules are described in their respective user manuals.

2.4 Power consumption

The current draw in the Flashlink frame is limited by the power supplies. Overloading the power supplies will cause them to malfunction.

The power and current limits for the frame, even with two active power supplies, are as

follows:
Total:	130W (Remaining available 30W up to 160W is dedicated for Fanboard and
	fans)
+5V:	20A
+15V:	8.7A
-15V:	2A

The power consumption can be drawn from the three voltages in any combination, though not exceeding 130W in total.

The sum of power for all cards on each rail must not be higher than the above listed limits. The power consumption for each of the power supply rails is found in the user manual for each Flashlink card, as this is not the same for all Flashlink cards.

Remark:

The power supplies support load sharing giving them extended life time. Though the total potential power supply capacity is actually doubled in a redundant coupling, the above listed maximum power limits for the frame shall never be exceeded.

3 Configuration

3.1 Address setting on each frame

Each frame can be assigned an address through the rotary switches on the rear. Maximum 8 frame addresses (0-7) are available, this means that pos. “8” and “9” on the rotary switch are not valid

This address setting only applies when the frame is used in combination with a GYDA-SC Rack System Controller.

If you have more than 8 frames together, you need several GYDA-SC Rack System Controller cards.

In order to ensure proper operation of the system, it is important that no frames controlled by the same GYDA-SC Rack System Controller card have the same address set.

Reset the frame after reconfiguring the frame system, by turning the power off and on again.

Valid positions: 0-7

More detailed information on the RS-422 configuration can be found in a separate document and at our web site: http://www.nevion.com/

3.2 PSU redundancy mode selection

The frame comes equipped with a jumper mounted at the programming header at the Fanboard.

Depending on the desired mode the jumper shall be mounted as described in the figure below.
