Rack
The Rack unit is the main power and
data distribution hub for the Series
400 system. The Rack houses up to
six Breaker Modules of any type,
which can include a Front of House
Breaker Module. The Rack provides
a built-in LED Meter Module that
monitors system current and
voltage, and additional space for
installing optional expansion
components such as a Virtuoso®
Node. System-wide functions can be
controlled at the Rack, including
power up, power down and testing.
Breaker Module
The Breaker Module provides
two trunk outputs, with each
circuit protected by an individual
circuit breaker, for the purpose of
routing power and control to the
system. The total number of
circuits depends on the model.
The module accepts 100BaseT
Ethernet and DMX512 inputs,
and features a Menu Display
which provides control and
configuration of the signal routing
to all connected Breakout
components. The Breaker Module is installed directly into the Rack unit.
The Breaker Module is available in several power configurations:
+ 15A 120V, 15A 208V, 30A 208, and 15/30A 208 (mixed).
Breakout Box
The Breakout Box supplies power and control signal
for three, four or six devices, depending on the
model. LEDs provide verification of the power and
data signals. The Breakout Box can be installed in a
truss with a choice of several mounting hardware
options, providing a convenient location for
connecting system devices. It provides two
DMX512 universes and one Ethernet output.
The Breakout Box is available in several power
configurations:
+ 15A 120V, 15A 208V, 30A 208, and 15/30A 208
(mixed).
Front of House Breakout Module
The Front of House (FOH)
Breakout Module provides a
convenient method for connecting
consoles and accessories at the
mix riser position. It provides six
Edison outlets on three 15-amp
breakers and six Neutrik® outlets
on three 15-amp breakers. When
using a FOH Breakout Module,
both a primary and backup
console can be connected to the
system. The module provides 10
standard DMX512 inputs for
inputting console data into the Ethernet stream and two Ethernet inputs for
any Ethernet signal such as Art-Net or Hog® Ethernet. DMX512 universes
can be selected and controlled using the built-in Menu Display.
