CHAPTER 2: GALAXY ENCLOSURES AND I/O
24
• SIM 3 Bus Connectors: Connects to the SIM audio analyzer so the GALAXY’s inputs and outputs can be used as
measurement points. A second SIM 3 bus port is provided to loop an additional GALAXY or to a SIM-3088 line-level
switcher.
• Wink Button: Pressing the Wink button on the rear of a GALAXY processor will cause the device to enter the Identify
Mode, a bidirectional processor identification feature that helps users locate processors in multi-processor
configurations. The front panel will flash, and Compass will show an indication on both the GALAXY processor’s
Inventory tab and the Settings > Network tab of each processor (see “Settings Tab” on page 34). To exit Identify Mode,
push the Wink button on the processor again or click on the Identify button on the Network tab in Compass.
POWER CONNECTOR
The GALAXY uses a locking PowerCON
®
connector (Figure 8) to provide AC voltage to the unit. Its internal switching power
supply has a safety-agency-rated operating range of 100–264 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Electrical Safety Issues!
Pay close attention to these important electrical and safety issues:
CAUTION: The PowerCON 20 connector should not be engaged or disengaged when under load or live. Dis-
connect the mains plug before disconnecting the power cord from the device.
CAUTION: GALAXY requires a grounded outlet. Always use a grounded outlet and plug.
