1. INTRODUCTION 1.2.3 Shorting and Applying External Input to the Output Connectors Do not short the output connectors. Doing so may damage the instrument. Do not apply an external signal to the output connectors. Doing so may damage the instrument and devices that are connected to it. 1.2.4 Mechanical Shock This instrument contains sensitive components, so it may be damaged if it is dropped or...
LED. The LT 4442 is a short version of the LT 4441 changeover unit. The depth of the LT 4442 is 400 mm. You can combine the LT 4441/4442 with multi-format video generator LT 443D or LT 4400 to configure a system.
Combining with an LT 443D or LT 4400 The depth of the LT 4441 matches the LT 443D and the depth of the LT 4442 matches the LT 4400. This makes it easy to wire and operate the devices when you combine them.
Channels 1 to 3 10 ms or less Channels 4 to 11 100 ns or less Automatic Switching Time until the LT 4441/4442 switches to a backup signal after the primary signal is interrupted Channels 1 to 3 70 ms or less Channels 4 to 8 90 μs or less (FAST)
2. SPECIFICATIONS 2.3.5 Error Detection Time from When the LT 4441/4442 Turns On to When Error Detection Starts FAST 1 minute or more (60 to 80 seconds) SLOW 4 minutes or more (240 to 320 seconds) Error Display Total Error Display The corresponding front-panel FAULT INDICATOR LED blinks.
The LEDs show the key-lock state. Also, you can press the key to turn the key lock ON or OFF. The LT 4441/4442 locks its keys after 1 minute of inactivity (no key operations). When the key lock is ON, front-panel key operations are ignored.
See section 4.4, “Signal I/O.” REMOTE This is the remote control connector. You can use this connector to perform functions such as configuring the LT 4441/4442 and generating error information. See section 5.1, “Remote-control Connector.” 10 AC inlet Attach the included cover inlet stopper to the AC inlet before using it.
12 DIP switch cover When you remove the four screws and the cover, the DIP switches appear. DIP switches are used to configure the LT 4441/4442. An explanation of the settings is printed on the back side of the cover.
The LT 4441/4442 uses a relay. A clicking noise can be heard when you turn the power ON or OFF, but this is not a sign that the instrument is malfunctioning.
4. HOW TO USE Attaching the Cover Inlet Stopper A cover/inlet stopper is included with the LT 4441/4442. Use this device to prevent the power cord from being pulled free of the AC inlet. To attach the cover/inlet stopper, follow the procedure below.
4. HOW TO USE DIP Switch Settings Use the DIP switches on the top panel to configure the LT 4441/4442. To access the DIP switches, first remove the DIP switch cover by unscrewing its four screws. The following figure shows the DIP switches. This figure shows the factory default settings.
4. HOW TO USE The settings are listed below. For details on each item, see the following sections in chapter 4. A simple explanation of the settings is also printed on the back side of the DIP switch cover. Table 4-1 List of settings Setting Name Remark...
4.3.2 Input Signal Settings The types of signals that you can apply to the LT 4441/4442 differ depending on the channel as shown below. Decide the type of signal that you will assign to each channel. To avoid errors, do not connect the signals until you have completed making all the settings.
4. HOW TO USE 4.3.3 Error Detection Reference Settings You can select the reference level that is used to detect errors in the input signals. You can select LOW or HIGH. Set VREF LOW or VREF HIGH to ON for each signal type. Normally, VREF LOW is set to ON.
4. HOW TO USE 4.3.4 Error Detection Level Settings (User setting) You normally select the level that is used to detect errors in an input signal from VREF LOW and VREF HIGH, but you can also set this level. Set SW6 or SW7 to ON as shown in section 4.3.2, “Input Signal Settings,”...
4.3.5 Signal Switch Time Settings If an error is detected in the primary signal, the LT 4441/4442 switches to the backup signal automatically. You can select the time that the LT 4441/4442 takes to switch signals. You can select the switch times for channels 4 to 11. The switch times for channels 1 to 3 are fixed.
• Setting the Standby Time You can select the length of time that the LT 4441/4442 waits from the time that it turns ON to the time that it begins operating. Select a setting that is appropriate for the rise time of the system signal source that you are connected to.
Connect the output connector to the system's signal input connector. The types of signals that you can apply to the LT 4441/4442 differ depending on the channel. For details, see Table 4-2, “Types of input signals.”...
1 to 11. Also, you can press the key to manually switch the output signal. However, you may not be able to switch the signal depending on the state of the LT 4441/4442. For details, see Table 4-8, “LT 4441/4442 operations.”...
This setting is the same for channels 1 to If you select SWITCH FAULT, the LT 4441/4442 will automatically switch to the other signal (primary or backup signal) when an error occurs in the output signal. Normally use this setting.
4. HOW TO USE 4.5.4 Error Display and Resetting • Error Display When an error occurs, the LED under FAULT CHANNEL that corresponds to the channel in which the error has occurred lights, and the LED under FAULT INDICATOR that corresponds to the signal in which the error has occurred blinks.
Use these pair of pins when you want to electrically isolate the FAULT INDICATOR- connected device from the LT 4441/4442. (There is a photocoupler inside the LT 4441/4442 that is used for isolation.) Ground...

5. EXTERNAL INTERFACE Table 5-2 Remote connector I/O specifications I/O Specifications Connection example Connect a switch to apply a low signal. Connect one side of the switch to the remote connector and the other side to ground. Connect an LED so that it will light when a high signal is transmitted.
However, because of factors such as parts wearing out over time, the performance of the instrument may degrade. To ensure stable performance, we recommend that you have the instrument calibrated regularly. Also, if the instrument malfunctions, repairs are necessary. For repairs and calibration, contact your local LEADER agent.
