Evertz 5600ACO Automatic Changeover System
E-CODE: Q2Q8J-
Product Details
The 5600ACO/ACO2 automatic changeover system is intended for use with two 5600MSC master clock / sync generators. The 5600ACO/ACO2 system uses latching relays to ensure maximum reliability and minimal disruption in the event of any failure. The complete system provides the highest level of security for television station video and time synchronisation systems. The 5600ACO is a 1RU device which is an ACO for a subset of the 5600MSC outputs. The 5600ACO2 is a 2RU ACO for all outputs of the 5600MSC. Dual power supplies are included as standard to reduce the risk of system failure.

ACO General Purpose Inputs and Output
Inputs
GPI1 Master select in Manual GPI control mode
Low Selects Master A
High Selects Master B
GPI2 Future use
Outputs
GPO1
Low Master A is selected
High Master B is selected
GPO2
Low Master A & Master B differ or PSU failure
High Master A and B have equivalent signals
Type
Inputs Opto-isolated input with internal pull-up to +5V
Outputs Normally closed relay to ground. 10kW internal pull-up to +5V when relay is in active position
Connector 4 pins plus 2 ground pins on 12-pin removable terminal block
Signal Level +5V nominal
MSC General Purpose Inputs and Output
Inputs 2 GPI inputs connected to both Master A and Master B
Outputs 2 GPI outputs connected from Master A through AUXI/O A
2 GPI outputs connected from Master B through AUXI/O B
Connector 6 pins on 12-pin removable terminal block
Signal Level As specified in 5601MSC manual
Changeover Conditions
Changeover is a voting system based on which source has the most good signals and that the good signals on the current master are also present on the backup master. The input signals are considered good according to the following criteria:
Video Level below 70 IRE
Sync H timing detect
10MHz 3dB level below 0.3V p-p
DARS Sync word error
LTC Level below 0.3V p-p
Incorrect sync word
Electrical
Power Auto ranging 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, 40 Watts
Configuration Dual redundant supplies
Fuse Rating 250V, 1 amp, time delay
Safety ETL Listed, Complies with EU safety directives
EMI/RFI Complies with FCC Part 15 Class A, Complies with EU EMC Directive
Physical
Dimensions 19″ W x 3.5″ H x 11.5″ D
(483mm W x 90mm H x 292mm D)
Weight 16lbs (3.5kg)
