The line-level output signals are always aected by the setting of the front-panel audio
modiers, with one exception - DIM only aects the line-level outputs when Variable
output level is selected.
Expansion Port
An internal expansion card (RM-HD1 or RM-HDE1) may be tted to the RM-2S4 or
RM-2S10 to increase the number of inputs and/or add to the available functions. Refer
to the documentation accompanying the expansion card for details.
Remote Inputs and Outputs
A 15-way male D-type connector carries four open-collector status outputs, four logic-level
control inputs plus power and data lines for future expansion. The pin assignations are
as follows:
Pin No. I/O Function
1 O Audio underlevel/fail alarm – latching open collector
9 I MUTE input – pull low to activate
2 O Audio overlevel alarm – latching open collector
10 I DIM input – pull low to activate
3 O Sustained phase error alarm – latching open collector
11 I Alarm Reset – pull low to activate
4 O AES/EBU lock output – non-latching open collector
12 I Not used
5 I Volume control voltage for future use
13 I Balance control voltage for future use
6 O Fused power for desktop remote control panel
14 - Ground
7 O Serial data transmit for future use
15 I Serial data receive for future use
8 O Serial clock for future use
Open-collector outputs are low (conducting) during normal operation. When an alarm
occurs they cease conducting and, with the exception of the AES/EBU lock output, remain
in that condition until the Alarm Reset input is asserted. Open-collector outputs are rated
at 50mA and 30V.
The Audio Overlevel alarm is triggered if either channel of the currently selected input
source exceeds +12dBu for longer than 5 seconds.
The Audio Underlevel alarm is triggered if either channel of the currently selected input
source remains below -20dBu for longer than 20 seconds.
The Sustained Phase Error alarm is triggered if the phase dierence between the two
channels of the currently selected input source remains consistently above 90 degrees for
longer than 5 seconds.
