2.4 Fiber Output Modules Warning

2.5 Cable Management

It is important that the cabling to and from the router is correctly labelled and routed. This will simplify the work required if the installation needs to be changed or added to at a futur e date.

2.6 Power Supplies

The power supply shelves are separate 2RU modules. Power supply shelves are rack mountable and can be placed above, below or remote from the Sirius frame.

The power supply alarm cable(s) and 48 V DC cables are supplied by SAM and can be ordered as either 2.5 metre cables or 8 metre cables.

LASER SAFETY

The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal operating conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent direct exposure to the laser beam.

Even though the power of these lasers is low, the beam should be treated with caution and common sense because it is intense and concentrated. Laser radiation can cause irreversible and permanent damage of eyesight. Please read the following guidelines carefully:

• Make sure that a fiber is connected to the board's fiber outputs before power is applied. If a fiber cable (e.g. patchcord) is already connected to an output, make sure that the cable's other end is connected, too, before powering up the board.

• Do not look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. The laser wavelengths being used are totally invisible to the human eye and can cause permanent damage. Always use optical instrumentation, such as an optical power meter, to verify light output.

• Cables connected to the router must be fitted with adequ ate vertical and ho rizont al strain relief to avoid twisting of the rear panels causing damage to the router connectors and loss of electrical/signal connection to the router.

• Cables connected to the router should be ro ut ed so the y do not cove r an y of th e frame fan exhausts as this can restrict airflow through the router.

• Ensure that the power supply shelves are correctly earthed see section 2.7 for details.

• The Power Supply Units are sealed and do not contain any serviceable items

• Power supply shelves are heavy so it is advised that two people are needed to support the weight of the power supply shelves during installation.

• To prevent damage, power supply shelves should not be mounted using just the front ears, and should have support at the rear of the shelves.

Sirius 840 Installation Manual www.s-a-m.com Prerequisites

3.3 Ventilation

A fully populated Sirius 840 is ventilated by groups of fan modules mounted in the front and rear of the router . The ven ts in the front, sides and rear m ust not be obstructed and sho uld be periodically cleaned and kept free from the build-up of dust. All the fan modules are monitored for failure.

Air is pulled in through the ventilation slots in the front door and circulated through the router, passing over the modules, and then expelled by the rear fans, air is also expelled o ut at points on each side of the frame, where the crosspoint modules are situated.

The power supply shelves have their own integral cooling system.

• Ensure the flow of air through the vents is not restricted

• Do not obstruct the air vents situated on both sides of the frame, and allow a minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) clearance to allow air flow. The air that is exhausted from the sides must be able to flow past the rear of the router frame without being obstructed. This also applies to the Power Supply Shelves.

• The fan assemblies should be placed back into the closed position as soon as possible after opening, as this ensures correct ventilation of the frame. Failure to do this will result in failure.

• In practice the maximum time that a fan assembly can be left open will depend on a number of factors such as; ambient temperature, frame loading, crosspoint routings, etc. To ensure correct operation under all conditions the fan assemblies should be left open for no more than 4 minutes at a time.

8.1 Power Supply Shelf

A Sirius 800 Power Supply Shelf is a separate 2RU assembly which contains up to four sealed power supply units (PSU’s), see Fig 21. The Power Sup ply Shelf is ra ck-mountable and can be placed above, below or remote from the Sirius frame. The PSU’s are self-contained and do not contain any serviceable components.

Each PSU requires an individual AC power input connection, i.e. up to four power cables per 2RU shelf. The current drawn by each PSU is dependent on the:

• Local mains supply voltage.

• Configuration of the router.

• Number of PSU’s installed.

Each individual PSU has auto-sensing inputs. Each individual PSU is rated:

• 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, 25-15 A.

• Routers powered from 100-120 V AC nominal mains supply will draw 25 A maximum per PSU.

• Routers powered from 220-240 V AC nominal will draw 15 A maximum per PSU.

Caution

• Ensure that the power supply shelves are correctly earthed see section 2.7 for details.

• The power supply units contain dangerous high voltages and are NOT user-serviceable.

• The DC leads connecting the power supply shelf to the router are capable of supplying very high electric current. Do not short circuit.

• The power supply shelf has a protective metal mesh cover over the front of the individual power supply units, this should only be removed by a qualified engineer. See the Sirius 800 Maintenance & Upgrade manual for details on replacin g power supply units.

• There is one spare DC connector on each power supply shelf and up to four on the Sirius 840 router frame. Do not remove the covers of the unused connectors.

Sirius 840 Installation Manual www.s-a-m.com Power Supplies

In all router configurations, a non-redundan t Sirius 80 0 router uses o ne or more power supply shelves fitted with multiple PSU’s. A failure of any one of these PSU’s is considered a failure of the power feed to the router.

For example:

A Sirius 840 for 220-240 V AC mains supply operation is supplied with:

• One shelf containing four PSU’s for power feed A.

• Plus one shelf fitted with four PSU’s for power feed B.

A failure of any PSU connected to power feed A is considered a failure of power feed A. In this case, operation of the router on power feed A with three PSU’s is not guaranteed.

PSU’s in a power supply shelf will actively power-share, equalizing the load on each PSU. If one or more PSU’s in shelf A fail, each remaining PSU can draw up to 25 A from the AC supply.

At higher AC supply voltages (220-240 V AC), in the event of one PSU failure, the current drawn by the remaining PSU’s may exceed the 15 A rated operating current. This is outside normal operating conditions for this AC supply voltage. Depending on the installation, circuit breakers on the remaining PSU’s may trip. In this case, power shelf B is required for redundant operation.

Installing the PSU’s with 25 A rated breakers and cabling means that in the event of one PSU failing, other PSU’s will not draw current beyond the breaker rating and will continue to operate. This can offer an additional level of PSU resilience beyond normal 1+1 redundancy.

Installation should take these factors into account. Installation should be done in accordance with local and national electrical codes. This product is pluggable type B (IEC 60309).

The power supply shelf outputs 48 V DC and the power supply units current-share on the output. Each power supply shelf has three 48 V DC connectors at the rear but only two are used (see Fig 22.). The power supply shelf can generate alarm signals to indicate presence and output status.

• The power supply unit is heavy weighing 24 Kg (53 lbs). When lifting use the correct local Health and Safety lifting guidelines.

Sirius 840 Installation Manual www.s-a-m.com Power Supplies

8.2 Power Distribution

The power supply shelves provide 48 V DC for distribution to the entire frame. All router modules (inside the frame) have on-board DC to DC converters to locally supply the required voltages. A single Green LED on the front edge of each module indicates that all is working correctly. This arrangement provides simple power distribution, as well as effective power de-coupling between modules.

8.3 Power and Alarm Connections to the Sirius 840 Frame

The Sirius 840 is powered by up to two 2RU power supply Shelves depending on the router configuration and mains voltage (see section 3.4.5). The power supply shelves each have four PowerCon AC input connectors (see Fig 22.).

Each power supply shelf has three 48 V DC power connectors, only two connectors from each power supply shelf are used to power the Sirius 840. The cover on the unused 48 V DC socket must be left on the power shelf.

Up to two power supply alarm cables (636028) are sup plied with the Sir ius 840 d ependin g on the number of power supply shelves fitted. Connect each power supply shelf to the router alarm rear panel using the 25-Way connector. The alarm signals send a warning to the Door PC, and via external GPIs or an external Workbench system if there is a power supply failure.

The power supply alarm cables are supplied by SAM and can be ordered as either 2.5 metre cables or 8 metre cables.

Important:

The Fan Control modules provide power to all fan modules. At least one Fan Control module must be present or the fans will stop, which can cause the Sirius 840 to quickly overheat. To prevent the fans from stopping, there are two Fan Control modules.

• The power supply shelves MUST be isolated from the AC supply by means of the external distribution switch/circuit breaker before connecting or di sconnecting the 48 V DC power cables. This is required because the “PowerCon” connectors are not suitable for isolating current.

• This equipment has more than one power source, to reduce risk of electric shock isolate all power supplies before servicing.

• High leakage current, Protective Earth connection essential befor e connecting supply (see section 2.7.1).

8.3.1 48 V DC Power Out Cables

See sections 8.3.2, 8.3.3 or 8.3.4 (depending on the numbe r of power supply shelves used) for the 48 V DC connection details. The 48 V DC cables are supplied by SAM and can be ordered as either 2.5 metre cables or 8 metre cables.

8.3.2 Single Power Shelf Connections

This connection method is suitable for a single power shelf fitted with four power supply units.

Two separate mains supplies should be used to maintain redundancy in the event of one supply failing.

Important:

• All of the 48 V DC cables from the power supply shelves to the Sirius 840 router must be the same length to ensure that the voltage drop along each cable is the same at high currents.

• The power supply shelves MUST be isolated from the AC supply by means of the external distribution switch/circuit breaker before connecting or di sconnecting the 48 V DC power cables.

Fig 23. Power and Alarm Connections

There is one spare 48 V DC connector on the powe r supply shelf and four on the Sirius 840 router frame. Do not remove the covers of the unused connectors.

Note:

• The three 48 V DC power connectors on the power supply shelf are common. Any two of the three sockets on th e power sup ply shelf can be use d to po wer th e rou ter.

• The six 48 V DC power sockets on the router frame are common. Any two of the six sockets on the rear of the router frame can be used to power the router.

9. Powering the Sirius 840

If you have installed the Sirius 840 as described in the preceding sections, you can apply power to the Sirius 840.

9.1 Powering Up the Sirius 840

When power is connected to the Sirius 840, the controllers and fans switch on immediately. The main signal modules within the Sirius 840 start to po wer up one second af ter the 48 V DC supply has been switched on.

9.1.1 Power Sequencing

To reduce the inrush current when the whole unit is powered up the modules in the router power up over a period of six seconds starting with the controllers and fans, and ending with the audio crosspoints.

9.1.2 Power Up and Initialization

Once the controller has booted (see Fig 25. for LED states when the controller is running), it is ready to setup. Router Configuration is carried out using Workbench. If the system has already been configured, it returns to the state it was in (all signal routing and monitor settings) when it was last powered.

Important:

To avoid overloading the individual external power supply units, make sure that you power them all up as quickly as possible and at least half of the power supply units within one second of each other.

Note:

When hot-plugging in a module to the Sirius 840, there is a delay before the module powers up.

11. Workbench

The Workbench software uses a database to store router and system configuration details. The Workbench database is written (pushed) to the router controllers to configure the m. Once the router controllers have been configured in this way they store the database locally allowing the router to work independently after a power off even if the connection to the Workbench database PC/server is not available.

The database can be created from scratch, custom built by SAM (chargeable) or based on one of the supplied sample/default databases. See the Workbench User manual for full details of Workbench operation and usage.

The following sections describe basic Workbench installation, connecting Workbench to the router and basic configuration including connecting Workbench to a database.

The router is supplied with Workbench, LiveRunner and a sample database installed on the Door PC. The installed sample database is either video only or AHP de pending on the input/output modules fitted.

If one or more LiveRunner clients are to be installed on computers, other than the Door PC, the database shipped on the Door PC must be moved to a separate Workbench server or client/server, see section 11.2.3 for details. This does not apply to Workbench clients used for configuration or to RollCall clients connected to the controller(s).

Although Workbench configuration can be carried out using the Door PC (if a USB mouse and keyboard are connected) this is not recommend as the screen resolution on the door screen is relatively low. A Workbench installation DVD is supplied with the router and this can be used to install a Workbench client on a separate computer which can then be used to configure the router.

11.1 Installing Workbench

Once the router and the computer(s) are conne cted to a ne twork W orkbe nch can be inst a lled on the computer(s).

The router is shipped with a Workbench DVD that contains a copy of the Workbench software. Full installation details, minimum computer specifications and troubleshooting can be found in the Workbench user manual. Workbench should be installed on a computer that has access to the router via a network.

1. Insert the Workbench DVD into a suitable co mputer that is connected to the router via a network.

2. The installation starts automatically. If it doesn’t start browse to the installation DVD and double click on Workbenchinstaller.exe.

Note:

During the installation, do not close the insta llation wiza rd or the Workbench Install Helper . Wait until the entire setup process is complete before exiting the install wizard and Workbench Install Helper.

11.2 Associating Workbench with the Workbench Database

Workbench requires a working connection to the Workb ench database. Until connected to the database, the Install Helper displays the connection as red (required by Workbench, but not yet installed).

There are three options for connecting to a Workbench database:

• Create a new blank database.

• Connect to the existing database on the Door PC (or other PC on the network if the database has already been installed elsewhere).

• Move the existing database from the router Door PC to a server or client/server and then connect Workbench to it.

Important:

The Workbench database must be installed on the server. Therefore, unless already installed, install SQL Server Express and SQL Server Manag ement Studio (or the optional SQLDBTool) on the server.

Fig 37. Configuration Helper

Important:

• When the Workbench database is installed on the Door PC the Door PC can support one or more Workbench client s ( configuration only) and/or RollCall clients.

• If one or more LiveRunner client is to be con nected to the Doo r PC the Workbench database must be hosted on a separate Workbench server or client/server. If the database is shipped on the Door PC it must be moved to a separate Workbench server or client/server.

11.5 Controller Configuration

There are three methods of configuring the router control module and an example of each is described in the following sections.

1. Select the inactive controller and click on the Edit Controller Config... button. The Controller Configuration window is displayed, see Fig 48.

The Controller Configuration screen is displayed with the Devices tab open. The Tabs on this screen are shown below, see the Workbench User manual for full details:

• Devices - Nucleus router control modules have default devices already selected.

• Routers - Basic configuration of the router, see section 11.5.1 for an example.

• Local Router Hardware - Additional configuration required when configuring a Nucleus2 2463 router control module.

• Generic - The Generic Editor (see section 11.5.2) and Generic Online Editor (see section 11.5.3) tools are accessed from this tab. They allow advanced configuration changes to be made using a logical tree structure format.

Note:

• If the router contains two router control modules the inactive controller should be configured first and once that process is comple te th e ot he r co ntr o lle r is made inactive and the configuration changes can be copied to it.

• On a dual redundant controller system the router controllers can be configured while the router is on-air, if required.

• If the router only has a single controller then this can be configured while the router is on-air but all communication with the router controller will be lost during the database push of the configuration changes and subsequent reset. Because of this the crosspoints cannot be switched and tallies are not reported during this process. Video and audio processing is unaffected.

11.5.2 Configuration Using the Generic Configuration Editor

The Generic Configuration Editor is used to edit a router control module in a logical tree structure format, see Fig 51. It can be used to edit or view the controller configuration. The Generic Configuration Editor is useful for grabbing DCCP elements for screen design.

To configure the router control module using the Generic Configuration Editor:

1. Click on the Generic tab from the Controller Configuration screen shown on page 66 in Fig 48.

2. Click on the Edit Controller... button to display the Generic Configuration Editor, Fig 51.

The controller’s configuration parameters display in a tree.

• Click on a symbol to expand the node below it.

• Click on a symbol to collapse the node.

The nodes depend on the type of device.

Fig 51. Generic Configuration Editor (Offline)

Important:

Care should be taken when using the Generic Configuration Editor. It is very easy to change the configuration so that the router control module no longer functions correctly, and in a way that is difficult to fault-find. For example, changing the baud rate can stop the controller from communicating correctly, if a device has not had the same change in baud rate.

Important:

Removing an item from the middle of an array can ‘break’ the controller and links to soft panels.

Page 70

Sirius 840 Installation Manual www.s-a-m.com Workbench

3. Select the parameter to be configured and make the change(s) required.

There are three types of controls used to build the configuration. Depending on the selection, the appropriate control displays at the bottom of the screen, see Table 13. and Fig 51.

4. Click on the Apply button to apply each change made to the configuration.

5. Once complete click on the OK button to close the window.

6. Any configuration changes must be pushed from the Workbench computer to the router control module. See section for 11.5.4 details.

11.5.3 Configuration Using the Generic Online Configuration Editor

The Generic Online Configuration Editor displays the current configuration status of the live system. It is mainly used for diagnostic purposes to identify failures. The display and editing of the Generic Online Configuration Editor is similar to that for the Generic Configuration Editor, see section 11.5.2.

To configure the router control module using the Generic Editor:

1. Click on the Generic tab from the Controller Configuration screen shown in Fig 48.

2. Click on the Edit Controller Online... button to display the Generic Online Editor.

3. As changes are applied in real-time they do not need to be pushed to the router control module.

Control Description

Plus/Minus symbols These controls add or remove an element below the selected

node.

Drop-down lists If the selected configuration parameter is defined by a set group of

choices, a drop-down list enables the value to be selected.

Text boxes If the selected configuration parameter requires a name, a text

box enables the name to be entered.

Table 13. Gene ric Configuration Controls

Important:

Any changes made to the configuration in the Online Editor occur in real-time on a live controller. It is generally recommended that configuration changes are made using the Generic Configuration Editor.

Page 71

Sirius 840 Installation Manual www.s-a-m.com Workbench

11.5.4 Pushing the Configuration to the Controller(s)

Any configuration changes must be pushed from the Workbench computer to the router control module(s) so that the controller(s) can use the new configuration.

The configuration changes are first pushed to the modified inactive controller and it is then made active. The changes are then copied to the unmodified inactive controller (was active) and pushed to it. This then means that both controllers contain the same configuration as the Workbench database.

In a frame with a single controller this is not possible and the database must be pushed to the single active controller. All communication with the router controller will be lost during the database push of the configuration changes and subsequent reset. Because of this the crosspoints cannot be switched and tallies are not reported during this process. Video and audio processing is unaffected.

1. With the modified controller selected click on the Push to Controller(s) button.

2. The Workbench controller Connected status icon will return to the connected state

once the database push and reset have been completed.

3. The active unmodified controller must be must now be made inactive. Select the active controller and click on the Reset button on the right of the Workbench screen.

4. The active controller will become the inactive controller and the modified controller will become the active controller.

5. Select the active updated controller and click on the Copy config to Partner button. This will push the updated configuration to the inactive controller.

6. The Workbench controller Connected status icon will return to the connected state

once the database push and reset have been completed.

7. Both controllers will now contain the same configuration as the Workbench database as indicated by the Checksum status icon

Note:

In a router equipped with a single controller the configuration change is now complete.
