ML5000 Service Manual 13
Combining Sidecar Power Supplies for Backup
If you are connecting two sidecars then you can link the power supplies together for redundant
supply backup. One MPS14 supply is capable of running both sidecars together should the other
fail. You need to order the short 0.7 meter DC power cable (part 002-584) for linking.
Note: Do not link the main console power supply to the sidecar supply in this way. One supply is
not capable of running both the main console and its sidecar should the other fail. You should
order a spare power supply with your console in this case. Make sure the power supplies are
positioned next to each other and using the same mains distribution.
RS232 Code Update
A rear panel RS232 port is provided. This is used for loading new operating software into the
sidecar from a PC. It is not used for any other function. Check our Web site www.allen-heath.com
for details on the latest version of ML5000 operating software and instructions on loading it into the
console.
Note: The sidecar settings are archived using a MIDI or RS232 dump from the main console.
There is no need to archive the sidecar settings separately.
Sidecar Audio Connections
The following information is provided for reference only. It is not necessary to wire special cables
to connect the sidecar to the console. Standard 1 to 1 wired 37way cables are provided. The
audio signals are balanced and operate at a nominal –2dBu line level.
