  • Page 12: Power Supply

    Failsafe Dual Redundant Supply Wheatstone failsafe power supply systems use two power supplies for each piece of powered equipment. Though either is capable of running a full load on its own, in failsafe operation both units run in tandem: if one fails, the other takes over, assuring uninterrupted operation.

    General Information WheatNet-IP 88cb integrates a powerful mix engine with analog and digital I/O to give you a single rack-space console solution. Paired with the IP-12/IP-16 control surface, you have a super-compact, ultra powerful-mix station that functions as a stand-alone console. A powerful 1RU device containing the console’s digital signal processing, input, output, and logic circuitry, the engine has no fans and may be located either next to the control surface or at a remote location.

    Use of a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a good idea and will protect the WheatNet-IP from short duration power interruptions which may cause it to reboot. During boot up, audio is interrupted for approximately 40 seconds. page 4 – 3 IP-12/IP-16 / Dec 2014...

    To use a BLADE in stand alone mode is easy. Just connect your audio and logic inputs and outputs and turn it on. When shipped from the factory as part of the IP-12/IP-16 system the WheatNet‑IP 88cb is preconfigured with an IP address of 192.168.87.101. If you need to set the BLADE to a different IP address you will need to do a factory reset, after which the BLADE will enter the System Wizard mode.
