C8.3 Type Of Switchboard (Simplebus Top Mode) - Comelit 1998NA Manuel Technique

C8.3 Type of switchboard (Simplebus Top mode)

The switchboard may be SECONDARY or MAIN.
• Set SECONDARY when the switchboard is used as
SECONDARY, as output from the LM-LM terminals
of switching devices Art. 1424 (Simplebus TOP
system); or when the switchboard is used as MAIN
in Simplebus systems with switching devices Art.
1224A or in a system with a single riser and no
switching devices.
CAUTION! the SECONDARY switchboard cannot
be configured as a switchboard in PARALLEL.
• Set MAIN when the switchboard is used as MAIN in
SIMPLEBUS TOP systems, then positioned in the
first section before the switching devices Art. 1424
which mark out the zones/risers.
The SECONDARY or MAIN switchboard must then
be configured as:
1- SINGLE
2- PARALLEL
3- SERIES.
1- Select SINGLE when the switchboard is the only
one in the system, or the only one serving a
specific riser.
2- If there are 2 main or secondary switchboards
serving the same
configuration means that both switchboards
will be operating with the same functions.
The first of the two to answer a call will preclude
the possibility of the other one performing the
same procedure.
If one of the 2 devices is switched on or off, the
other will automatically follow suit.
Configure both switchboards as PARALLEL and
set the switchboard connected underneath the
LS-LS line of switching device Art. 1424 as LS-IN;
set the device positioned underneath the LPin-
LPin line of switching device Art. 1424 as LP-IN.
For the PARALLEL switchboard, switching to
NIGHT and the AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT function
is not possible (see "I3 Automatic day/night").
A P should appear on the standby screen of the
two switchboards, indicating that the switchboard
is configured in parallel, in addition to the fixed
icon .
3- If there are 2 main or secondary switchboards
serving the same riser, the SERIES configuration
means that only 1 of the 2 can operate at
one time (MASTER
the other is inactive (SLAVE switchboard).
Configure both switchboards as SERIES
and the active switchboard will, from time to
time, be the one set as MASTER. To change a
switchboard from MASTER to SLAVE and vice-
versa, see "U21 How to enable (master) or disable
(slave) the main switchboards".
An S should appear on the standby screen of the
two switchboards, indicating that the switchboard
is configured in series, in addition to the fixed icon
46
riser, the PARALLEL
switchboard), while
.
CAUTION!
- if flashes, it is indicating that the 2 switchboards
are not communicating correctly.
- if the ! Icon appears, there is a configuration
problem with the 2 switchboards (e.g. both set
as MASTER or SLAVE, LP-IN or LS-IN or one is
SERIES and the other PARALLEL).
- if in a Simplebus TOP system (with switching
devices Art. 1424), both main and secondary
switchboards are present; for correct system
operation the setting "C8.7 Function main+sec
switchb." must be activated on all switchboards.
