5.2 Nucleus Controller & Control/Fan Interface Module Compatibility
For details on the functions of the Nucleus controllers and control/fan interface modules see
the Sirius 800 User manual.
Two versions of the router controller card are available for the Sirius 800 router.
• The 2463 Nucleus2 controller supports both audio and video routing.
• The 2450 Nucleus controller only supports video routing and cannot be used if any
audio signals need to be routed.
Table 11. lists the compatibility between the Sirius 800 modules, control/fan interface modules
and Nucleus controllers.
• When two control/fan interface modules are fitted in the router they must both be
the same version. For the Sirius 840/850 for example: either 2 x 2452, 2 x 2456 or
2 x 2458 modules should be fitted.
• The 2452/2453 modules can only be fitted in original unmodified Sirius 800 routers,
see Table 4. in see section 4.4.1 for identification details.
• The 2457/2458 modules can only be fitted in Sirius 800 routers built or modified
with blue fan casings, see Table 4. in section 4.4.1 for identification details.
• The 2455/2456 modules can only be fitted in Sirius 800 routers modified with silver
fan casings stamped with “HF”, see Table 4. in see section 4.4.1 for identification
details.
• DO NOT fit Blue Control/Fan Interface modules (2457/2458) in a router
equipped with fans with Silver casings as this will damage the router and the
router will stop working.
• DO NOT fit Green Control/Fan Interface modules (2455/2456/2452/2453) in a
router equipped with fans with Blue casings as this will damage the router
and the router will stop working.
*Early Sirius 800 routers must be modified by Snell before they can be used for audio
routing and processing (4915, 5919, 4929, 5949, 4925, 5915, 5925 or 5903 modules in
use). See the Sirius 800 User manual for details.
