Loss of Power

1. Turn off the power to one of the +12 VDC inlets. The associated fault indication appears in the display.

2. Restore power to the mains inlet. The fault indication changes to show that the “fault” is fixed.

3. Turn off the power to the other +12V DC inlet. The associated fault indication appears in the display.

4. Restore power to the mains inlet. The fault indication changes to show that the “fault” is fixed.

5. Turn off the power to both mains inlets. The channel output changes to the Primary input signal (Composite 

Video) and the unit powers down.

Operational Configuration

There are several configuration factors that will influence the initial installation of your ACO-2200. The following 
guidelines outline a typical example.

Power

The ACO-2200 will automatically switch to the Primary inputs whenever it loses power. So, you should connect the 
Backup SRG-2200 and one mains input on the ACO-2200 to the same power source, and connect the Primary 
SRG-2200 (and the second mains input on the ACO-2200) to a second power source. In these configurations, both 
power connections would have to fail before you lose control of the ACO-2200.

Signals

You should now configure the ACO-2200 according to your requirements, namely the number of channels to be 
monitored, and the signal type associated with each channel (using the procedures detailed in the previous Initial 
Configuration section of this manual). 

When selecting the number of channels, you must always start from number 1, and continue up to the number of 
signals you wish to monitor. You should set any unused channels to “No Measurement”. If you select more active 
channels than you have signals connected, “Input Missing” errors will always be reported, leading to inconsistent 
operation.

You can now connect your signals to the ACO-2200 rear panel BNCs (

Figure 5.2

 as an example), according to the 

configuration settings made in the previous paragraph. The example in 

Figure 5.2

 shows six channels from the list 

of supported signal types
