Overview
The 2582-282 1 for 8 Switch with Backup Controller provides Auto or Manual backup protection for up to 8 converters by relay switching IF and RF signals from one backup unit to any of 8 on-line units. The controller in the 2582-282 monitors alarms and settings of the on-line units and sets the backup unit to the parameters of the unit being backed up prior to backing it up. The 2582-282 works with standard Cross Up or Downconverters by polling their monitor and control ports on a periodic basis. A defective unitʼs inputs and outputs are switched from the failed unit to the backup when a failure occurs either automatically or manually. “On-line”, “Off-line” and “not used” modes can be programmed for each converter. Alarms are contact closures to ground. Status of the 2582-282 is reported via a serial data stream (Ethernet, Optional) and a contact closure to ground on alarm.
All user settings of the switch are stored in nonvolatile ROM and on power up the 2582-282 polls all units. Manual Select is controlled by the multi-function switches on the front panel. LEDs indicate alarm and switch conditions. The unit is powered by two 100-240 ±10% VAC redundant power supplies, and housed in a 2RU chassis.
