Revision R2005-2
R-Type
of two independent power supply systems in a
redundant configuration – “main” and
“backup”. Both sets of power supply units are
used to power the console system so that under
normal conditions, the ‘load’ is shared between
the “main” and “backup” PSU’s. If a fault occurs
in one of the power units (causing it to ‘shut-
down’), the remaining power unit will continue to
power the console.
reference ground conductor
A conductor or area that provides the lowest
possible transfer impedance to the internal cir-
cuits and/or equipment, normally assumed to be
at a potential of 0V.
transfer impedance
The voltage developed within a victim circuit (for
instance, a cable carrying a sensitive signal)
divided by the interference currents flowing in a
source circuit.
remote calling
Function on the Osc & Comms module that
allows communication between the operator and
a remote location.
Remote MIC routing
Function on the Osc&Comms module used to
route the Remote Input signal to LISTEN L and
R and the console’s TALKBACK bus.
re-route
To take an existing signal route and re-direct it to
another output.
Reset
Bring back to original status.
RING
Part of the 0.25” TRS jack connector that carries
the out-of-phase (cold) signal.
route
Signal path; direct a signal along a certain path.
Routing switches
Switches used to direct the signal along a cer-
tain path.
SAFE mode
Indicates that a motorized fader will not send
position data to the CCM.
SAM
Abbreviation of Sound Automation Manager.
Scene memory
RAM location in the CCM where the scene
memory is held. The CCM can currently hold
128 different scene memories
Scene name
The Scene name can be anything up to 8 char-
acters in length (the default Scene name is
between 001 and 128).
Screen
Part of a cable (also known as braid) that pro-
tects the signal conductors from electro-mag-
netic interference.
self-test
After power-up of the console the CCM per-
forms a self-test during which process all of the
frames are scanned to verify the location of both
input and DC Master faders.This information is
crucial to enable correct recall of previously
saved module information for console snap-
shots for the scene recall system.
Send
A potentiometer and/or switch on a module
which sends a signal onto a mixing bus.
