  • Page 33: Technical Description

    Model 5601ACO2 Automatic Changeover Unit TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 4.1. Auto Changeover Switch Criteria Understanding how the ACO makes its changeover switch decisions is vital to designing, monitoring, and troubleshooting a synchronizing signal distribution system. This section provides information on how the ACO determines when it is time to switch to the other input. All inputs, except for analog audio, have signal presence detectors that determine if there is a valid signal present on that input.

  • Page 34: One Change Mode

    Model 5601ACO2 Automatic Changeover Unit There are three automatic modes of operation: Switch one time only, on the first valid switch One Change Mode: criteria. Dual Change Mode: Suspend all switching when two consecutive criteria are met within a short time period. Unlimited Change Mode: Switch whenever a valid criterion is met.

  • Page 35: Switching Decision Tree

    Model 5601ACO2 Automatic Changeover Unit Multiple changeover events, separated by more than approximately half a second are considered valid conditions for ACO operation. This is the recommended operating mode because it offers normal operation while minimizing system impact in the event of an output short. 4.2.3.
