1 SPG-1801 Sync Pulse Generator Module 1.1 Introduction The SPG-1801 is a sync pulse generator that can be slotted in the Densité frame. It accepts an external reference input or can receive its reference from the frame reference internal distribution, if the REF-1801 card is present.
Status LED 1.5 Application One interesting application of the SPG-1801 combines the URS4D signal that is distributed to all Densité slots within the same frame from an REF-1801 card in slot 10, with multiple dual-independent-output SPG- 1801 cards to create a multi-format audio/video reference generation system.
2.2 Installation in the Densité frame The SPG-1801 must be mounted in a DENSITÉ-2 frame. The installation includes both the SPG-1801 module, and the rear panel module. It is not necessary to switch off the frame’s power when installing or removing the card.
3.2 Local control using the Densité frame control panel Push the SELECT button on the SPG-1801 card edge (see Section 1.4) to assign the local control panel to operate the SPG-1801. Use the control panel buttons to navigate through the menu, as described below.
3.2.1 Status LED The status monitor LED is located on the front card-edge of the SPG-1801, and is visible through the front access door of the DENSITÉ frame. This multi-color LED indicates module status by color, and by flashing/steady illumination, according to the chart. The chart also indicates fault reporting for this card on the DENSITÉ...
The SPG-1801 has operating parameters which may be adjusted locally at the controller card interface. After pressing the SELECT button on the SPG-1801 module, use the keys on the local control panel (described above) to step through the displayed menu and adjust the parameters. The menu is shown below.
The basic window structure for the SPG-1801 is shown in figure 3.1. The window identification line at the top gives the card type (SPG-1801), and the slot number in which the card is installed in the Densité frame. On the left is a Status icon for the card.
2. Tabs are provided to give access to the various controls. Click on a tab to access it 3. The contents of the selected tab, with operating controls and status monitors as required. 4. The Load Factory button. Clicking this button will reset all SPG-1801 parameters to factory-default values, overriding settings made in the control panels. 3.3.2...

The alarm exists but has no effect (used for text and composite alarms) Shortcut: if you click in one of the columns beside SPG-1801 in the Status/Name column (where there is no pulldown shown), you will open an “invisible” pulldown that lets you assign a level to all alarms in that column simultaneously.
