ü Quartet-M-A-110 * In this table and in section 2.2.1, the name Quartet designates a basic frame. Frames with more features are designated by their suffixes such as –C, -M, etc. In this manual, the term Quartet generally refers to all models when installation, power...
To remove the front panel, rotate the thumb screws counter clockwise and pull on the handles. Referring to Figure 2.1, Quartet houses up to 4 imaging series modules and a power supply. Each module includes a module ejector for easy module removal.
AC power connector 2.2.2 Quartet-C The Quartet-C rear panel is very much similar to that of Quartet's. It is composed of an AC receptacle, a fan assembly, an ICP-S (RS-422) interface port with loop- through, a rotary switch required for ICP-S serial ID assignments in a daisy chain installation, and 32 BNC connectors.
2.2.3 Quartet-M The Quartet-M rear panel is composed of an AC receptacle, a fan assembly, a DC power connector for power redundancy, an ICP-S (RS-422) interface port with loop- through, and 4 groups of 7 BNC/1 RJ-45 connectors. Each group belongs to one of the housing frame's internal modules.
2 groups of 5 BNC/1 HD-15/1 RJ-45 connectors as in the Quartet-A- 75, and 2 groups of 7 BNC/1 RJ-45 connectors as in the Quartet-M. Each group belongs to one of the housing frame's internal modules. Refer to Figure 2.7 for module and BNC referencing.
2.2.7 Quartet-M-A-110 The Quartet-M-A-110 rear panel is composed of an AC receptacle, a fan assembly, a DC power connector for power redundancy, an ICP-S (RS-422) interface port with loop-through, 2 groups of 2 BNC/1 HD-26/1 HD-15/1 RJ-45 connectors as in the Quartet-A-110, and 2 groups of 7 BNC/1 RJ-45 connectors as in the Quartet-M.
3.2 DC Power Redundancy For those Quartet housing frames supporting DC power redundancy, the external DC power supply connector may be used to get DC power from a second Quartet housing frame or a Quartet-RPS frame. Interconnecting two Quartet frames...
Figure 3.2 describes the cable required to interconnect the Quartet frames. As shown in this diagram, #18 AWG wires are connected between the two terminal strips (shipped with the frames) in a pin-to-pin fashion. Make sure the terminal screws are secured tightly. Figure 3.3 provides the DC connector’s pinout viewed from the rear panel of a Quartet frame.

5. Pull gently on the power supply handle. Follow these steps in order to install a power supply within a Quartet housing frame. 1. Remove the front panel by rotating the thumb screws counter clockwise. Pull on the handles.
Windows NT workstation. A module's configuration may be modified from this workstation without the need to push buttons or position jumpers. Refer to the following steps for a single Quartet or multi-Quartet to remote Windows NT workstation installation.
The available addresses are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F producing a total of 16 ID assignments. Two Quartet housing frames cannot have the same address. However, a Quartet housing frame, a Symphonie housing frame and a Solo housing frame can have the same address.

3.6 RS-422 Cable Construction Figure 3.7 describes the cable required between a Quartet housing frame and the PC/RS-422 converter. The mini-DIN8 connector is viewed from the back where the actual wire connections are to be made. The cable construction required between Quartet housing frames is described in Figure 3.8.
3.7 Installing an imaging Series Module It is not necessary to switch off the power when installing a module into a housing frame. To install a module, follow these steps. 1. Remove the front panel by rotating the thumb screws counter clockwise. Pull on the handles.
3.9 Rear Panel Label A connector label is shipped with every imaging series module. This label is to be installed on Quartet's rear panel in order to identify the module's external connectors. To install the label, follow these steps. 1. On the housing frame's rear panel, locate the appropriate connectors for the front slot where the imaging module has been installed as specified in section 3.7.
N.B.: For proper cooling of the imaging modules do not leave the front door removed for a long period of time when power is on. Figure 3.12 Air filter location Front panel (removed from housing) Imaging Quartet Slot Area Back side of front panel Air filter...

4 Power Supply 4.1 Powering Up and Local Power Monitoring To turn on power in a Quartet frame, remove the front panel and place the power switch in the '1' position. The PWR indicator will light up. The following indicators provide information on the power supply's status.
Remote Power Failure Alarm and Cable Construction (optional) The power supply remote monitoring feature in Quartet frames detailed in Table 1.1 informs the user of a power supply problem. A power failure alarm is provided by the dry contacts of the rear panel mini-Din 8 connector.
