Cascade
The PM5000 allows cascade connection to other consoles for master-slave operation. Two types of cascade connection
are possible: type “A” for cascade connection of two PM5000 consoles, and type “B” for connection to PM4000/3500
series consoles (in the latter case the PM5000 is the master console).
A standard 9-pin RS-422 cross cable can be used for type A connection. A dedicated straight cable must be used for type
B connection. Refer to the appendix of this manual for connector pin assignments.
Please observe the following points when making cascade connections:
• Make sure the power to both consoles is off when connecting the cascade cable.
• After making the cascade connection, turn both consoles on and wait for all start-up processing to finish
before operating the consoles. Also, do not operate one console while the other is turned off.
NOTE
The two cascade connection types cannot be used simultaneously. If both types of connection are made the type A connection will take priority.
By connecting the master outs and matrix outs of the slave console to the master out and matrix out SUB IN connectors of the master PM5000
console the slave console can be used as an “expansion” console, increasing the number of available channels.
NOTE
On the salve PM5000 cascade-connected by TYPE A connector, setup memory data cannot be loaded from a memory card.
