GENERAL DESCRIPTION The R-199 is a multi-contact relay capable of switching away from signal A and connecting to signal B. There are 4 independent relay sections in each R-199. All sections of the relay are of the mechanical type with no active circuitry involved in the signal path. Control of the switches may be via local contact closure, or more usually, by means of the included timer. The timer allows programming through an ethernet linked browser. - Page 5 Front Panel View Rear Panel View Section View...

Page 6: General Instructions
General Instructions Mounting: The R-199 requires a minimum of 1.75 vertical inches of space in a standard 19” wide EIA equipment rack. Slide the unit into the rack frame and secure it, using the 3000R/22M mount- ing hardware supplied with the unit. Connections: 1. Connect the audio signals to screw terminals of the same switch group, ensuring that the left and right channels for the default audio are connected to the L NC + and -, and the R NC + and -, and the signals for the alternate signal are attached to the L NO + and - and the R NO + and - connectors. The L OUT + and - and the R OUT + and - are routed to the modulator, or other destination, of the audio signals. Connect the Video (or RF/IF) signals to the same switch group as their audio signals. The default (or primary) signal is connected to the NC ‘F’ connector, and the secondary signal is connected to the NO ‘F’ connector. The cable to the modulator (or combiner, etc.) is con- nected to the COM ‘F’ connector. 2. Connect the +12 VDC lead (white) from the power supply to the +12v terminal on the rear panel, and the black lead to the GND terminal. Plug the power supply into a 90 - 240VAC power outlet, and the unit is ready to function. Either +12V terminal may be used. 3. To actuate a relay section with a contact closure, connect the contacts between each relay control input screw terminals (SW1–SW4) and ground (GND) screw terminal. Refer to the rear panel connections illustration and the applications section of this manual. 4. To actuate a relay via Ethernet control, enter the URL (IP address) of the device into the address bar of any browser, enter the Setup/Control section, select the Control tab. Clicking on the relay led will toggle the switches on or off. 5. To program the unit for timed operation via the included timer, enter the URL for the unit and refer to the programming information later in the manual. Operation: When the contact closure for the appropriate Relay Unit is closed, the output (Com)connection is switched from the default input (NC) to the alternate input (NO). Activation of any of the 4 relay sections may be accomplished by external contact closure, open collector transistor, web brownser or logic signal. The most useful application for control- ling the R-199 are programmed time control. The user should realize that the contact closure input, if it is pulled to ground to switch to sec- ondary, will supersede the ethernet control inputs if they are set to primary. But if the contact closure inputs are set to primary, the ethernet control inputs may switch to secondary. -

APPLICATIONS GENERAL SWITCHING Control by Time The R-199 can be switched according to time schedules entered into the R199 by the user. Control by LAN The R-199 may also be easily controlled by anyone on the local network with a web browser. The unit has an included server, with an IP address entered by the user, or a DHCP address supplied by a local DHCP server. Control by Contact Closure. The R-199 can also be operated by local contact closure. Connections for this application are shown in the following graphic. -

This diagram shows, more specifically, the input and outputs connec- tions for the R199. -
Page 9: Ethernet Interface Setup
ETHERNET INTERFACE SETUP On the CD included with the unit is a program entitled Netburner IPSetup .exe After ensuring that the R-199 to be set up is powered up, and is connected to your computer or to your network, open this program. [If connecting directly from your computer, use a crossover cable.] Notice that two netburner devices have been detected. If yours has not been set up, it will have a default of 192.168.0.2. This should be one of the choices shown. However, if the IP address has been changed for testing purposes, it may be another address such as 192.0.0.20.. To change this to the IP address you desire, merely type into the NDK Settings the address IP, the Gateway and the DNS on the left side to program this address, and then select the default address supplied by your IT administrator. You would then click on Set, and the program will modify your device. [Another means to modify the address of the server in the unit is to enter the present IP address in a browser window. Then go to “Setup” in the ensuing screen. If the unit asks for a password, enter r199set. Then enter the IP desired, the Gateway and the DNS to be used, click on Save . The R199 will reboot by itself and the ‘new’ ip settings will be in effect.] Select Close, and you are finished. If you forget the IP address used for the unit, you must reset the unit to the default address, or you may use the ‘IPSetup’ program to discover the device’s present IP address. To reset the address, remove power. Using a paper clip, press and hold the reset button down, through the small hole to the right of relay 4 on the rear panel. Then re-apply power to the R199. If the button is down for at least 2 seconds, Relay1comes on. If you release the button at this time the R199 will reset the passwords to default “r199set” , and all settings in the unit will be reset. If the button is held down for from 8 - 29 seconds, Relay2 will be turn on. Releasing the button during this time the R199 will reset the IP to default: 192.168.0.2, and the passwords will be reset as described before. (If you continue to hold the button down past 30 seconds, NOTHING will be reset.) To reset all parameters, enter the Setup/Control, go to the Password page, select Reset all Setup to Default, and follow the prompts. ... - Page 10 When the button is released, all relays will be off. Then the unit will begin waiting for a com- mand. Once you have set the IP address for your unit, enter it into your browser, and You will see the following screen:...

Reset Program Status This will clear the program status of Exc # / Del column. When the program is active again, it will start counting again, as Exc 1 through x events having occured. Download Program List to print Delete all Weekly and Dated Programs for all the Relays... - Page 17 Programming the R199 is straight forward. There are two types of events: A weekly event, that will repeat each week at the same time and day. And dated event, which will occur at a stated month, date and time. You may enter up to 200 weekly events for each of the four switches, and up to 25 dated events for each of the four switches. This is the Programming page with no events entered. The user is also able to export his data for the relay he is programming, and then if he has any problems, he may import this data later. Please note, that importing the programming data that was previously saved, adds it to the data already present in the timer. If it is desired to replace the present data with the saved data, it is necessary to erase both the weekly and the dated events first.
- Page 18 To program a weekly event, click on ‘Add New Program’, and the following screen will appear. Select the ‘Program Name’ and the ‘Switch State, and then check which days of the week the ‘Switch Action’ will occur. The ‘Hour’ and ‘Minute’ are then chosen. Note that if you wish the action to happen every hour, you may select that as well. Note that the Pri(mary) notation applies to a N(ormally) C(losed) relay, and the Sec(ondary) notation applies to the N(ormally) O(pen) state of the relays in the unit, as noted above and on the rear panel.
- Page 19 Once finished with this entry, click ‘Submit’ and appears. [We have entered a program for M-F at 12:00.] The program is immediately active. You must select “Save R_ Program List” when finished. In this screen, note that you may ‘Edit’ the entry, ‘Cut’ (or delete) the entry, ‘Copy’ the entry, and ‘Paste’ the entry . If you ‘Copy’ and then ‘Paste’ , it will ease the programming function where you only wish to change the ‘Action’ and the ‘Time’ entries. After entering all the weekly events desired for this particular relay, we would enter the weekly events for the other three relays in the same way.
- Page 20 Once the weekly events are entered, we would enter any ‘Dated’ events. When entering these, ensure that notice is taken of weekly events that might conflict with them to give erroneous switch closures/opens. The screen below shows the result from selecting the ‘Relay 1:Dated(0) link in the Programming screen.
- Page 21 Now click on ‘Add new program’ (or the relay you are programming), and the following screen appears. Enter the ‘Program Name’, the ‘Switch Action’, the ‘Year’, ‘Month’ and ‘Date’. In the Date we can enter ** and the event will occur at every day in the month selected. We then enter the ‘Hour’, (in which we can also select ‘Every Hour’), and the minute to finish the entries. Note that entering ** in the ‘Date’ and ‘Every Hour’ in the ‘Hour’ comprises only one entry of the 25 allowed per relay. Select Submit. (Data is permanently saved when you select “Store R# Program List” later. When you are finished editting the programs for each relay, click on the ‘Save R# Program List’ button to save the programs in to the R199. (See page 18) Otherwise, the changes you have made will not be saved on power loss to the unit.
