Setting up the NSC Interswitch Unit (ISU)

The ISU can connect up to 4 MK2 Transceivers, additionally one 10kW Unit and interswitch
up to 8 displays in normal mode.
The ISU has two modes of operation:
1. Normal mode for free interswitching of up to 8 displays and 4 MK2 XCVRs.
In this mode the displays are sending the uplink via CAN- BUS and the ISU is
generating the UPLINK and 15V enable to the XCVRs. The downlink of the selected
XCVR is routed to the respective display by the ISU.
2. The emergency mode (also ISU OFF); in this mode the first 4 displays are directly
assigned to the four MK2 XCVRs without interswitch capability. The Uplink and 15V
enable signals generated by the displays are routed through the ISU without
interacting of the same.(Dispays have a direct galvanic connection to their respective
display).
Steps for correct wiring:
Attention! Strip all cables outside the ISU wire strands may cause short circuits!
-

open ISU
locate terminal B2 and connect the CAN- BUS between the displays and the
ISU in series, make sure the CAN- BUS is terminated properly at the
beginning and the end
power up the ISU and one display at a time and observe the LEDs in the ISU,
there should be NO flashing red LED ( if red LED flashing, reverse CANBUS on the display)
deenergize all units and connect the transceivers (uplink, 15V enable, ground)
to terminal B40 observing the correct order/ numbering of the XCVRs and
downlink of the XCVRs to TB2 using BNC connectors
route a coax cable from the ISU video outputs to the corresponding displays
primary video input
energize the ISU and displays 1- 4
at the displays use the service menue, configuration, transceiver setup, set the
correct number of displays and transceivers, leave the tool and restart the radar
program
go back to XCVR configuration, enable at the primary input ISU and ALL
XCVRs, restart the radar program
make sure the first display is marked as A, the second as B and that
display A is master of xcvr 1, B master of xcvr 2,
there should be no uplink fault indication on any of the first four displays
if an uplink fault is indicated swap the uplink wires of the corresponding xcvr
at terminal B40 of the ISU, the error should disappear
the interswitch is now working in the normal mode
deenergize all units and connect the uplink/ 15V enable/ ground lines from the
displays to terminal B39 of the ISU observing the correct order/ numbering of
the displays
energize all dispays but NOT the ISU
make sure all displays are assigned master of their corresponding XCVRs
there should be no uplink fault indication on the first four units

the XCVRs are now controlled by their carresponding displays via the uplink
generated in the display, the CAN- BUS is not used to control the ISU or
XCVR
if an uplink fault is indicated swap only the uplink wires at the corresponding
display, DO NOT change the wiring to the XCVRs in the ISU!!!
the fault should be eliminated
now the ISU can be energized and the system is ready for alignments
