To avoid overheating provide proper ventilation. Only use this rack in conjunction with Crystal Vision modules designed for that purpose. Do not use the frame unless all the rear connector positions are filled, either with Crystal Vision Rear Modules, or with Crystal Vision blanking plates.

Introduction The FR1AV frame provides the connections and supplies for up to 6 Crystal Vision video or audio modules in 1U of rack height. The frame provides configurable rear connections and the facility for a separate plug-in power supply.. A hinged front panel provides access to the power supply unit and all of the modules.
The position of the link on header J2 depends on the number of power supplies in the frame. Since there is only one power supply is fitted in the FR1AV frame (other frames such as the FR2AV can take 2 power supplies ) the link should be between pins 1 and 2, closer to the ribbon cable connector.
Rear Signal Connections The signal connections to the cards are made through a range of rear modules. The FR1AV frame will be supplied with an appropriate selection of these for the cards installed in it. Unused slots will be fitted with blanking plates.
These are given the letters 'a' to 'f' in the documentation supplied with the Crystal Vision video or audio card. Depending on the type of card and its configuration these may be RS422 or GPI connections. The following tables should be used together with the card documentation to determine the signal connections.

The REM1U is a 1U remote control panel. 482mm (19 inches ) and 85mm deep. The REM1U can be powered by a mains adapter (supplied with REM1U) or via the dc power output on the FR1AV frame ( pin 15 of REMOTE 2). The mains adapter has a dc output voltage of +5.6Vdc which connects into a 3pin locking DIN connector on the rear of the REM1U.
While supporting the weight of the fan and mounting plate, reach in through the mounting plate hole and disconnect the fan power connector. Replace the fans with a Crystal Vision supplied replacement part to ensure adequate cooling and continued fire protection. Be sure to fit the finger guards on both sides of the fan/mounting plate assembly.
