Surface To Core Connection - Calrec Artemis Installation And Technical Manual

SURFACE TO CORE CONNECTION

A connection is required between the
Control Processors in the processing
core and the Surface Switches inside
the control surface.
These connections are via SFPs,
either fibre or copper, as requested at
order depending on the distances and
infrastructure involved.
Calrec do not provide these
interconnecting fibres / cables as
the length, type and quality will vary
depending on the specific requirements of
each installation.
Copper connections should be made
using screened Cat5e or Cat6 cable.
For more information on copper
connections, SFP's and fibres, please see
the Connection Types and Cat5e Cables
sections.
The illustrations to the right show the
location of the connections on the cores
and surface switches.
The two surface switches are located
inside the control surface, mounted to the
rear cover of the section containing the
IEC mains power inlets. These can be
accessed by removing the control surface
panels and up-stand meter panels in that
area of the console.
The two surface switches should be easily
identifiable on the rear cover. The left
hand unit, when viewed from the front is
the primary Surface Switch, the right hand
unit is the secondary Surface Switch.
In the processing core, the left hand
Control processor is the Primary, the right
hand is the secondary.

It is important to ensure that these
connections are made correctly - primary
to primary, secondary to secondary and on
the correct connectors.
