Model 5600ACO2 Automatic Changeover Unit
3.3.2. GPI Changeover Rate
DIP switch 2 controls the speed of the decision process before a changeover is made.
DIP 2 Changeover Rate
Off (Up) Changeover in 250mS
On (Down) Changeover in 100mS
Table 3-5: Changeover Rate Switch Settings
When DIP switch 2 is in the Off position, the ACO takes approximately 250 msec. to decide whether it
needs to change, thus making it very immune to false changeovers in this mode. When DIP switch 2 is
in the ON position, the ACO will decide to change in approximately 100 msec, providing less protection
from false changeovers but quicker response to input faults.
"
The 5600ACO2 firmware must be version 1.0 build 13 or higher to operate in
100mS mode.
3.3.3. Bank A Priority.
The bank priority is controlled by DIP switch 3.
DIP 3 Bank A Priority
Off (Up) Bank A and B have equal priority
On (Down) Bank A has higher priority
Table 3-6: Bank A Priority Switch Settings
When DIP switch 3 is in the Off position, the ACO gives equal priority to each bank. If the number of
valid inputs from each bank is equal, the ACO will not switch.
When DIP switch 3 is in the On position, priority will be given to Bank A. If the number of valid inputs
from each bank is equal, bank A will be selected.
3.3.4. DARS Valid Condition
The DARS valid condition is controlled by DIP switch 4.
DIP 4 DARS Valid Condition
Off (Up) DARS balanced or unbalanced
On (Down) DARS balanced and unbalanced
Table 3-7: DARS Valid Condition Switch Settings
When DIP switch 4 is in the Off position, the DARS signal will be considered valid when there is a valid
signal into either the DARS balanced input or the DARS unbalanced input or both.
When DIP switch 4 is in the On position, the DARS signal will be considered valid when there is a valid
signal into both the DARS balanced input and the DARS unbalanced input.
The signal presence will still be shown on the front panel LEDs regardless of this switch position.
