6.2. Installation
6.2.1. RSS-16
Install A/B Switch cards starting from card slot #1 which is on the right side of the rear of the RSS-16 chassis.
Up to 16 switch cards can be installed. Some interfaces take up two slots and assume the lower slot position
number in the control interfaces. Install each card with the components facing left. The chassis connectors and
cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Cards may be inserted and removed with the power on (hot
insertion/removal). Cards are secured in chassis with screws at the top and bottom of each panel. Cables for
the Common, A & B circuits are attached to the rear. Interface diagrams with wiring information are shown on the
following pages.
6.2.2. RSS-3
Install A/B Switch cards starting from card slot 1 which is the upper right side of the rear of the RSS-16 chassis.
Slot 2 is just below slot 2, and slot 3 is to the left of slot1. A control card or IO access card is installed in slot 4
below the third switch card. Install each card into the guide slots with the components facing upwards. The
chassis and cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Cards may be inserted and removed with the power
on (hot insertion/removal). Cards are secured in chassis with screws at right and left of each panel. Cables for
the Common, A & B circuits are attached to the rear. Interface diagrams with wiring information are shown on the
following pages.
6.3. Configuration
Each Basic A/B switch card can be setup for individual operation or part of a group for gang control which
operate simultaneously. Certain model cards provide jumpers for selecting if all interface leads are to be
switched or if specific leads are non-switched ,connected together or tied to signal or frame ground. See details
under the specific switch card interface.
6.3.1. Gang or Individual Control.
Jumper selections on each A/B card select individual or gang switching. Jumpers are located near the card
edge fingers of each board. A/B Switch cards are factory set for both Gang and Individual Control. GANG A
and B provide for Gang Operation. COIL A and B for Individual Control.
Remove these jumpers to prevent one or the other type of switching. For example, to prevent one specific card
to being part of the Gang, remove the GANG A and GANG B jumpers from that card.
The positions for CTL A and CTL B are for special applications only. Do not move the jumpers into those
positions unless specifically instructed to by Dataprobe Technical Support.
