Introduction
The NV9606 is a 1RU control panel. It has 68 backlit function buttons:
The NV9606 can operate either by itself as a stand-alone panel or as a extension of an NV9607
control panel.
When the panel is stand-alone, the function buttons are limited: an operator can select sources
and destinations or execute salvos. When the panel is used as an NV9607 extension, the set of
functions is approximately that of the NV9607. As an extension to an NV9607, it can operate in
any of the 4 modes configured for that particular NV9607. See
Modes of Operation , following.
The sets of functions differ in the different operating modes.
At the rear of the panel are power, serial control, Ethernet, and GPIO connectors:
You connect the NV9606 to the NV9000 system using the Ethernet connector.
The serial port is for local diagnostics, as it is for all control panels.
The NV9606 uses external PS0001 power supplies. One will suffice. Two provide redundancy.
The GPIO connector supports the panel’s GPIO functions: 4 outputs and 8 inputs.
Function Buttons
The NV9606 has 2 rows of 34 function buttons. The total is 68 function buttons. The set of
buttons differ in each of the 4 operating modes. (See
Modes of Operation , following.)
Physical source buttons represent one of two sets of sources. Physical destination buttons (if
present) represent one of two sets of destinations. The panel can be configured with a ‘Source
Shift’ button that toggles between the two source pages and a ‘Destination Shift’ button that
toggles between the two destination pages.
Each button has three operational levels: high and low tally (green or amber), and off. (Their
material is actually white or light gray.)
The function buttons each have clear plastic keycaps under which you may place plastic inserts
for button legends. It is a simple matter to change button legends.
