Q1600-RR-1600
This is the older style port router. These treat all the RS422 D9 connectors on the rear panel as
general connectors, i.e. neither inputs nor outputs. Therefore any D9 connector can be routed to any
other D9 connector.
connectors.
The Q1600-RS main module uses an array of 256 relays to allow any D9 connector to be connected
to any other D9 connector. A maximum of 8 routes can be supported at any one time.
Tally Routing
The Tally Router is described in the Router Options manual.
Power System
1U frames, mainly Q16 units, can only have a single power supply. All other frames have the option of
dual supplies to protect against the failure of one of the supplies or, equally likely the loss of incoming
ac power. There are two power inlet connectors so that if a backup supply is fitted then it is fed from a
completely separate power lead, thereby offering maximum protection against loss of power. They
are fitted on the rear panel and incorporate a fuse.
The Q16 and Q32 routers use a switch mode power supply to generate the ±5V or ±13V needed by
the router modules. Mains voltages from the rear IEC connector are brought on to the switch mode
supply via power connectors. The combined power supply slides in and mates with this connector.
A mains power switch is provided with LED's showing the status of the low voltage outputs. A 6-
way connector on the front of the PSU provides status information and power for the front door.
Cooling Fans
Q16-SV (1U frame): These have a cooling fan fitted into the front door and powered from a 6 way
connector that mates with the front of the power supply. Air is drawn into the frame from the front.
Q32-SV (2U frame): These have a cooling fan fitted into the front door and powered from a 6 way
connector that mates with the front of the power supply. Air is drawn into the frame from the front.
Q32-AA (2U frame): These have a cooling fan fitted into the front door and powered from a 6 way
connector that mates with the front of the power supply. Air is drawn into the frame from the front.
Ground and Power Fail Alarms
A terminal strip is provided on some units to allow connection to the PSU alarm and processor
alarm outputs. On the Q32, Q6400, and Q128 frames the terminal strip has two pairs of contacts, one
for each PSU, held closed so long as each power supply is fitted, switched on, and working
Remote Control Panels
