DESCRIPTION:

Functional Description

The CNTBLOCK, illustrated in figure 1, is a network terminal expander and diagnostic tool for the
CRESNET II remote control system (herein referred to as the CRESNET II system). The eight
network connectors on the CNTBLOCK are setup as two sets of four. Power can be isolated
between the two sets by disconnecting a jumper on the board. The unit provides LED indicators
which help isolate wiring problems.

Physical Description

The CNTBLOCK is housed in a black enclosure with a silk-screened top panel (refer to figure 1).
Three LEDs are located toward the center of the top panel: a green LED (POWER) and two red
LEDs (NORM ON (Y) and NORM OFF (Z)). Eight four-pin network connectors are accessible from
the two longest side panels of the unit (four per side).
For stability two Dual Lock fasteners are supplied with the unit, but unattached. If desired, the
fasteners may be applied to the underside of the CNTBLOCK. At the shorter sides of the unit, the
enclosure extends to form feet at a right angle to the side. There are three holes per foot for
inserting screws to further stabilize the unit.
