other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used by
us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining.
Interconnecting the SDC 8000 system component sDepending on the expansion stage of your system, you have to:
yinterconnect the consoles (all expansion stages),
yinterconnect the central units (expansion stage 3),
yconnect a PC to the “master” central unit if the system is to be PC
controlled.
Interconnecting the consoles
To interconnect the consoles v ia the system cables:
왘Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the OUT socket
of the console.
왘Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket of
the console.
Note!
You can interconnect up to 15 consoles in one cable string.
Connecting a cable string to the central unit
After having interconnected the consoles, connect the cable strings to the
central unit. You can connect up to six cable strings to a single central unit.
To connect a cable string to the central unit:
왘Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to one of the RJ 45
sockets labelled PORT1 to PORT 6 of the central unit.
왘Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket of
the first console of a cable string.
왘Initialize the consoles as described in the section “Turning on the
central unit for the first time” on page76.
Interconnecting several central units
If you have to interconnect several central units, we recommend mounting
the central units i nto a rack.
To interconnect the central units:
왘At the first central unit, connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system
cable to the MASTER OUT socket .
If the SLAVE IN socket of a central unit is not connected, this central
unit automatically b ecomes the “master ”.
왘Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable connected to the
“master” to the SLAVE IN s ocket of the second central unit.
If the SLAVE IN socke t of a central unit is connected, this central unit
automatically becomes a “slave”.
왘To connect additional “slaves”, connect the SLAVE OUT socket o f the
first “slave” to the SLAVE IN socket of the following “slave”, and so on.
