    UART signals which are assigned next to each other on the backplane connector. • The analog input/output gain structure of Cronus is not in line with ADAM and Zeus. To upgrade the gain structure, see “Gain Enhancement (Rev C to Rev D)” on page 6.

    Hardware Compatibility When a new Cronus AIO front card requires the use of a new Cronus AIO rear card (9030-7787-001) or Cronus MDR rear card (9030-7800-001). It will not work with the old board -000 rear card because signals are rerouted to eliminate the Party Line noise.

    AIO Front Card (9030-7784-000) Codec Synchronization (Rev B to Rev C) If you currently have the old Cronus AIO board and need to fix the audio distortion from the CODECs being asynchronous, do the following: Identify test points TP4, TP18, TP19, and TP28 on the front side of the board.

    To send the board back o the factory for upgrade, send the card via UPS to: Factory Service Telex Communications, Inc. 8601 East Cornhusker Hwy Lincoln, NE 68507 U.S.A. Attn.: Jim Wilson NOTE: Include a note stating that the card is needing Gain Structure Upgrades Wire Placement on the Cronus Front Card...
  • Page 11 AIO Front Card (9030-7784-000) To Upgrade the Gain Structure yourself, do the following: On the front card, replace the following 16 resistors with a 220k resistor (part number 102506-224) The resistors that change are the following: R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, R19, R20, R34, R35, R36, R37, R38, R39, R40, R41 Resistors and capacitors that need to change to upgrade the gain amount.

    Rework Instructions On the front card, ground TP7 to connector J3 pin C1 so it will be recognized as the new Rev D card. See figure 3. TP7 Ground to J3 C1 connector placement FIGURE 3. On the front card, replace the following 16 capacitors with 12pF capacitor (part number 723411-14). See figure 2. The capacitors that change are the following: C9, C10, C15, C16, C21, C22, C27, C28, C76, C77, C82, C83, C88, C89, C94, C95.

    RVON-I/O board updates for rev escalation from Rev A to Rev B. The RVON-I/O’s voltage drop across the GPO Output resistor is too large for the Cronus photo coupler GPI. The Cronus series resistor to the photo-coupler is also too large. The voltage drops across both resistors prohibit operation.
  • Page 16 Cronus and RVON-I/O On the RVON-I/O card remove 8 resistors (R24 through R431) and replace with 6.19 K resistors (part number 102515-276). See Figure 1 for resistor placement. Resistor Changes on RVON-I/O (9030-7772-000) FIGURE 6. R424 R428 R427 R429 R426...
