INSTALLING YOUR VM2382CF 6

Step 1. Turn off power to the V-Matrix enclosure.

Step 2. Remove a slot cover (VM2005BP) from one of the unused slots of the enclosure in order to install the VM2382CF.

Step 3. Slide the VM2382CF into the slot in the enclosure in order to connect it to the bus.

Step 4. Make sure that the card fits into place and then secure the card by tightening the retainer screws located on the top and bottom of the card.

Step 5. Starting from the left, identify the slot number of the VM2382CF in the enclosure, and note that it will be used to determine the output numbers for the card.

Step 6. Restore power to the V-Matrix enclosure.

Step 7. Connect the Twisted Pair outputs of the VM2382CF to the inputs of the TP receiver using an adapter cable like the MS8704TP.

Step 8. The VM2382CF is ready for operation.

Step 9. Each output card in the enclosure handles 8 output signals. In order to determine the starting output number of the VM2382CF just installed, multiply the slot number by 8 and subtract 7.

Example: The card is in slot 4.

(4 x 8) – 7 = 25
Therefore, the new card outputs are
numbered 25 through 32.

7.1 GENERAL OPERATION

The VM2382CF does not require any adjustments for proper operation. Once installed, the VM2382CF will operate trouble-free with no user intervention.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8

The VM2382CF unit supplied was carefully tested and no problems were found. However, we would like to offer the following suggestions:

8.1 NO DISPLAY

Cause 1: The cable connections are wrong.

Solution: Make sure the cables are properly connected and that the inputs on the VM2381CF are receiving the input signals from the TP source. Next, make sure the selected outputs on the VM2382CF are connected to the TP receiver and that the continuity and wiring are good. If there is still no display, see Cause 2.

Cause 2: The path is not properly selected.

Solution: Verify the signal is being properly routed through the V-Matrix system.

NOTE: The ALTINEX Standard for TP signals requires 4 Twisted Pairs. All 4 pairs must be switched through the V-Matrix system.

Example: The TP transmitter pairs are being applied to inputs 1-4. If the TP receiver is connected to the first four outputs of the card in slot 1, make the following connections:

Input 1 to Output 1

Input 2 to Output 2

Input 3 to Output 3

Input 4 to Output 4

If the TP receiver is connected to first four inputs of the card in slot 2:

Input 1 to Output 9

Input 2 to Output 10

Input 3 to Output 11

Input 4 to Output 12

See RS-232 accessible commands for the VM2210BE V-Matrix Basic Enclosure User's Guide. If there is still no display, see Cause 3.
