Extron electronics PowerCage FOX AEX 104 Setup Manual

PowerCage™ FOX AEX 104 and
PowerCage™ FOX II AEX 104 • Setup Guide
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron PowerCage FOX AEX 104 and
PowerCage FOX II AEX 104 Fiber Audio Extractors. The extractors are double boards for the PowerCage 1600 enclosure
that extract audio from fiber optic systems to be routed to amplifiers or DSP processors. The extractors can be implemented
anywhere in a fiber optic system where local audio-only outputs are required. This may include the input or output side of a fiber
matrix system or in a point-to-point application between two fiber optic endpoints.

Installation

Step 1 — Select the Input Data Rate.
The DIP switch on the main board switches the extractor between 2G and 4G input data rates. Using an Extron Tweeker
or small screwdriver, move DIP switch 2 up (On position) for 2G input data rates or down (Off position) for 4G input data
rates. DIP switch 1 is a spare. The default rate is 4G (Off or down).
ATTENTION:
• Ensure all fiber extenders within the system are compatible with the selected input data rate.
• Assurez-vous que tous les extendeurs fibres dans le système soient compatibles avec le débit de données d'entrée
sélectionné.
NOTE:
2G and 4G data rates apply to all inputs. These selectable rates are not for individual inputs.
Step 2 — Install the Board.
ATTENTION:
• Use ESD precautions when installing a board to avoid damaging it.
Keep the board in the anti-static bag until it is needed. Use proper
grounding techniques during installation.
• Prenez les précautions ESD lorsque vous installez une carte
afin d'éviter de l'endommager. Gardez la carte dans le sachet
dépoussiérant jusqu'à ce que vous en ayez besoin. Utilisez des
techniques de mise à la terre correctes pendant l'installation.
NOTE:
The extractors are hot-swappable; they can be installed or
removed without turning off or disconnecting the power to the
PowerCage enclosure.
If applicable, remove as many blank plates or previously installed boards from the PowerCage enclosure as necessary to fit
