2.1.2 Camera with Triax adapter and SuperXpander

An LDK 8000 camera head can be mounted in the LDK 4488 SuperXpander (or in the
LDK 4489 Xpander). This enables large box lenses to be used with the camera. The LDK 4021
7-inch HDTV viewfinder can be mounted on the SuperXpander.
The camera with the TriaxHD adapter connects to the SuperXpander via a flying lead. The
power supply for the camera is supplied via this lead. The SuperXpander is connected to a
TriaxHD Base Station using a Triax cable. This configuration can be powered either:
– from the Base Station via the Triax cable, or
– locally with the mains power supply connected directly to the SuperXpander.

2.2 Control bus

The Base Station can be connected to either:
• an Ethernet control network (C2IP)
or
• a two-wire Series 9000 control bus (S9000).
One of these options can be selected in the SYSTEM/CONTROL MODE menu item. The Base
Station is delivered with the default value set to C2IP , so only the Ethernet control bus is active.
If you use control panels of the Series 9000 system, then you must change the value of the
System / Control Mode menu item to S9000 so that you can connect these panels to the 4-pin
Data connector at the rear of the unit.
(To loop-through Series 9000 control panels use the special connector cable provided.)
The IP address and other options for the Ethernet connection can be set up in the System
menu. These items can also be set up remotely using a network configuration tool such as
NetConfig.
☞
Note
Even if you have selected the C2IP control bus, then you can still connect a single OCP from
the Series 9000 system to the 4-pin Data connector at the rear of the unit. However, you may
not connect more than one device as this leads to unreliable operation.

2.3 Power supply

Caution
Connect the Base Station only to a power source with the specified voltage rating. Use only
fuses of the type and rating specified.
The Base Station must always be connected to protective earth. Do not interrupt the
protection conductor inside or outside the unit. Do not disconnect the protective earth
terminal. Intentional interruption is prohibited and is likely to make the unit dangerous.
