ALL FRAME
™
Multi-Modular I/O System
Power Connections
The top panel of the F6 Modular I/O Frame has three connection points for DC power: the 4-pin XLR connector,
the Euroblock terminal block connectors #1-2, and the Power Over A-Net (PoA) feature that delivers DC power via
the connecting A-Net cable. Refer to the Powering the F6 Modular I/O Frame section of this document for power
requirements and connection information; see page 23.
Standby Connectors
The 6-pin Euroblock connector on the top panel of the F6 Modular I/O Frame uses the middle two pins, numbers
3-4, for the hardware Standby feature, activated by a contact closure. It is designed for situations where the
AllFrame will be installed in an enclosure with a door, allowing the AllFrame to be placed in Standby when it is not
in use by simply closing the door and activating the contact. This second version of the Standby feature differs
from the front-panel button and software versions of Standby in that the AllFrame cannot be brought out of
Standby unless the contact closure is open.
Standby places the AllFrame into a low-power mode that allows Pro64 A-Net network data to flow through the
device, but disables its front panel interface and audio connections.
LED Defeat
Terminals 5 and 6 on the top panel 6-pin Euroblock connector can be used when a switch is required to turn
on/off the front panel LEDs.
This feature is not yet available.
