1.1 Manual Overview This manual provides detailed instructions for installing and operating the PESA RCP–48X. This manual is divided into five sections as shown. Section 1, INTRODUCTION, summarizes the manual, describes the RCP–48X, presents a list of terms, and provides the panel INTRODUCTIO specifications.
This panel is recommended for applications requiring minimum keystrokes and a limited number of sources for a limited number destinations. The RCP-48X can access one or more router destinations. There are two control pushbuttons on the right. One allows the operator to...

2.3 Location and Mounting The RCP-48X has been designed to fit in a standard E.I.A. 19" equipment rack and uses 1 rack unit of space (1 3/4"). An area should be selected where temperature does not exceed 40°C inside the equipment rack, and where air can circulate freely.
Valid polling addresses are in the range of 1 to 128. Systems requiring more than 128 panels are possible with enhanced controllers, refer to your Pesa Sales Representative for details. The appropriate binary number is entered into the control panel by setting a 10-position DIP switch to the binary number.
RCP-48X Installation Section 2 2.4 Polling Address (Device Number) Continued: Figure 2–2 DIP Switch Location 2.5 Control Panel/Controller Interconnection Each panel has a single 3-pin MTA connector located on the rear panel. Control panels are daisy chained to a port on the rear of the Controller.
RCP-48X Installation Section 2 2.6 Wiring the Control Panel Connector Should an additional control panel be added to your system, it will be necessary to wire the connector using shielded twisted pair cable and a 3- pin MTA connector. See Figure 2–4.
RCP-48X Installation Section 2 2.7 Terminating Cable Runs Each cable run should be terminated at the end of the run with a 120ý, 1/4 watt 5% resistor. The cable is terminated internally at the controller. See Figure 2–5. 1. Uncrimp the black and red leads in position 1 and 3.
Installation Section 2 2.8 Power Connections Power for the RCP-48X is supplied by an external 7.5 Vdc, 800 mA power supply. Remove the Power Supply from the box it was shipped in and check to insure that no damage has occurred in shipping. Verify that the Power Supply is rated for the proper AC voltage (i.e.
RCP–48X Operations Section 3 3.1 Operations of the RCP–48X Introduction The RCP–48X is controlled by the RC5500 Controller. Operations of the RCP–48X require that it be configured at the controller and have the appropriate polling address assigned. Connections and power up proce- dures should be performed on each panel controlled.
RCP–48X Operations Section 3 Breakaway Operation Breakaway operation allows you to select an input to be switched to an output on one or more specific levels. Assumptions: Panel is currently in Direct Take mode (default mode) and no level has been selected for break- away (Level/Disp.

Address must match the dip switch setting on the rear of the panel. Systems requiring more than 128 panels are possible with enhanced controllers: refer to your Pesa Sales Default Destination Group: Destination group to be controlled by the panel on panel boot-up.

RCP–48X Functional Section 4 4.1 Introduction The RCP–48X panel consists of two printed circuit boards. The CPU board contains a microprocessor that controls the panel's operation and communicates with the control system. The Switchcard contains pushbut- tons and indicators used by the operator to control the routing switcher. The following is a detailed description of each of these boards.
RCP–48X Functional Section 4 CPU Board Continued: Microprocessor Continued: During the first half of the bus cycle, port C presents the lower address byte (A0-A7). This information is latched into U2 on the falling edge of address strobe AS (U1 pin 4 to U2 pin 11) and remains stable until the beginning of the next bus cycle when AS is driven high by the processor.
RCP–48X Functional Section 4 CPU Board Continued: Reset As with all microprocessors, the 68HC11 requires initialization during power-up. The 68HC11 requires that the RESET pin (U1 pin 17) be held low for 4064 cycles of E clock (2.2 mS @ 1.8432 MHz E clock). In addition the RESET pin must be held low while VDD is below legal limits to protect internal EEPROM register contents.
RCP–48X Functional Section 4 CPU Board Continued: RS-485 Communications Communication between the panel and the system controller is accom- plished by the 68HC11 internal Serial Communication Interface (SCI). The SCI is an asynchronous receiver/transmitter, sometimes referred to as a UART. The RS-485 standard is used for the electrical interface between panels and the system controller.
RCP–48X Functional Section 4 Switchcard Continued: remainder of the ID bits (ID1-ID5) are either floating or grounded by the switchcard. Floating pins are pulled high by pullup resistors on the CPU board. The CPU may use these bits to detect what switchcard is attached. Keyboard Scan The RCP–48X switchcard contains circuitry capable of scanning up to 64 pushbuttons.
RCP–48X Functional Section 4 Switchcard Continued: cycle at address 800h, the CPU can determine the state of pushbuttons S1-S8 by looking at the state of data bits D0-D7. If S1 is pressed, then D0 will be low. Likewise, if S2 is pressed, D1 will be low. The status of the entire keyboard array may be determined by performing successive reads of each row of the array.
RCP–48X Maintenance Section 5 5.1 General The RCP–48X Control Panel is a solid state electro-mechanical device designed to give long, trouble free service with minimum maintenance requirements. If problems do occur, follow the troubleshooting procedure provided. If additional technical assistance is required, refer to the General Assistance and Service information in the front of the manual.
Failure to do so often results in delay or even loss. NOTE: Contact PESA Switching Sytems' Service Department (listed on the General Assistance and Service information sheet in the front of this manual) for a RMA# prior to shipping.

RCP–48X Maintenance Section 5 Troubleshooting Continued: If the Panel is nonresponsive, there may be a power problem or the CPU is not operating. 1. Refer to the POWER DISTRIBUTION discussion in Section 4. Refer to the remote CPU schematic in Section 6 if it is necessary to make voltage checks at the chip or component level.
