POWER SUPPLY Resetting the S2 PSU States The S2 PSUS detects when a power supply has been removed or unplugged If this occurs the S2 PSUS assumes the power supply has been serviced and all failure statistics are refreshed If a rail has failed permanently removing or unplugging the supply will allow the rail to be fully tested again once reinstated Removing both power supplies will reset the S2 PSUS indicated by the alternating front led sequence Usage Advice The unit has been designed to give the user as little down time as possible If an S2 PSU rail reaches an unrecoverable state please remove and service it If an extreme fault occurs total loss of power on the VD rail the switch over can cause a reset of digital modules which will result in a small audio glitch Rear Panel Fig 3 6 S2 PSUS Rear Panel There are alarm outputs on the rear of the unit created using opto isolator switches These alarm outputs mimic those on the front panel and there is also an alarm relay which operates as a warning for total unit failure This will come on if the both power supplies have failed Power Input Connectors Two trailing leads 0 5m in length are used to connect 2 x S2 PSU units to the power switcher Power Output Connector This 9 pin D type connector see Fig 2 9 is used to route power to the Mixer from either the master or slave power supply It has the same connections as the output from the PSU see above Alar

Uu N gt A lt Common Mode Rejection Ratio This is the ratio of the extent to which a differential amplifier will cancel noise which is present on both inputs compared to its ability to amplify the wanted signal This is the amount of an unwanted signal which appears or is induced on a different or unassimilated signal The problem is usually most prevalent with adjacent channels See PFL A ratio of two voltages or signal levels expressed by the equation dB 20LOG V1 V2 Adding the suffix u denotes that the signal is relative to 0 775V RMS Adding the suffix v denotes that the signal is relative to 1V RMS Pre emphasis and de emphasis are techniques used to improve the overall signal to noise ratio in communication channels The frequency response of the channel is weighted with a 6 dB per octave slope prior to transmission pre emphasis and then the inverse of this weighting is applied at the receiving end de emphasis to restore a flat frequency response Equivalent Input Noise It is the ratio of output noise to the gain It describes the level of noise which would need to be fed into an ideal amplifier to produce the measured output noise EQualisation This is the method of cutting or boosting selected bands of frequencies in the signal SONIFEX 155 gt ac lt x u N o Jg 156 Gain Hybrid LED Mix minus PAN PFL CUE Pre emphasis S PDIF TBU T B Telco
