Intelligent Sequential Power Distribution

The iSPD Pro is a programmable power sequencer with many applications in the audio/Video industry. Each of its 8 power outlets is individually controlled and its delay time can be individually set. Any of the 8 outputs can also be configured for constant on as well. When your requirements call for more than one unit, up to 8 iSPD Pro sequencers can be inter-connected via an RS 485 interface requiring only with a simple twisted pair. The units can be configured and monitored over Ethernet using the management software provided.

There are several reasons to use a power sequencer to turn on system equipment. When powering on sound system equipment, it is always a good idea to power on low level equipment like mixers and signal processor first allowing them to stabilize before energizing the power amplifiers. This helps prevent unintended pops and noises from being amplified and sent to the loud speakers. Most electronic equipment requires a surge of power from the power line when it is first turned on. This is a even bigger issue for high power devices like power amplifiers. By sequencing the turn-on of equipment, the instantaneous power demand can be greatly reduced.

Features

• 8 output channels with individually adjustable delay time.
• Front panel or remote power sequence control.
  • Additional units may be linked for expanded capacity.
• Control Graphical interface program for custom configuration and monitoring over Ethernet.

Front Panel

Tenet INTELLIGENT SEQUENTIAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SEQUENCE CONTROLLER DISPLAY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 STANDBY iSPD™ PRO STANDBY ON MANUAL SWITCH

(1) Line Voltage display.

The current line voltage is displayed. Make sure that the line voltage is correct before activating the switch to turn on the connected equipment.

(2) Sequence Controller Display

The status of each of the 8 outputs is shown in this display. The LEDs illuminate when their corresponding outlet circuit is energized. The Status LED is illuminated when the iSPD is connected to a power source.

(3) Key Switch

When the front panel key switch is turned to the on position, the power up sequence is initiated energizing outputs 1 to 8 in order. Returning the switch to the standby position reverses the sequence, turning off the output circuits from 8 to 1. This same control function can be initiated by using a customer supplied switch connected to terminals on the rear of the unit. For more information on its operation, see the section describing remote switch control.

(4) Power Cord

Connect the power cord to a 100 V to 120 VAC 50/60 Hz power source.

(5) Network

Ethernet connection for remote configuration and control. Delay times before turn on of each circuit can be adjusted, circuits can be programmed for constant on and individual circuits can be controlled using this interface and the iSPD control program.

(6) Remote Switch connections

Two terminals of the four position Euro connector are used for connection of a remote switch that can initiate the power on and off sequence. Closing a switch connected to those pins initiates the power on sequence. Opening the switch initiates the power off sequence.

However, there is interaction between the front panel key switch and the remote switch. If the unit is off, either switch will turn the unit on. If both the Key switch and remote switch are on, turning either switch off will power the unit off. In this case one of the switches will still be on the on position. To turn the unit on from that switch, it must first be turned off then back on. In most cases it is best to use either the key switch or remote switch only.

(7) Euro Connector RS 485 "A B" (Linking multiple iSPD units)

The RS 485 "A and B" connections are used to network multiple iSPD units. A simple twisted pair connection is all that is required to interconnect units. RS 485 interface is a multi-drop serial bus with all units wired together A to A and B to B. For long distance connections a controlled impedance cable such as one pair of a CAT 5E or DMX cable works well.

(8) Network Configuration and Reset Switches

Refer to Appendix A for details about setting these switches.

(9) Power Outlets

The power outlets are numbered 1 to 8. The iSPD applies power to these outlets in a 1 to 8 sequence. When power is turned off, the sequence is reversed with outlet 8 turning off first and outlet 1 last. Keep this sequence in mind when connecting equipment to these outlets.

Operation

Setup and Operation.

Connect the power inlet of the iSPD to an appropriate power source. The "STANDBY" LED will light indicating the inlet power is present. Connect the load equipment to the outlet receptacles. Pay attention to outlet power on sequence when connecting loads. Audio devices like mixers and signal processors with low level signals that are early in the signal chain should power on first. High signal level devices like power amplifiers that are at the end of the signal chain should power on last.

Turning the key from the "STANDBY" to "ON" position initiates the power on sequence, turning on outputs 1 to 8 in order. The Front panel LEDs, 1 to 8 will light as those circuits become active. Alternately, an external switch can be connected to the remote terminals on the rear that initiates the sequence. If using an external (remote switch), leave the front panel key switch in the standby position.

Connecting additional units

iSPD units can be linked when either more circuits are needed or when the circuits to be controlled are in different locations. By linking the units, one switch can sequentially control the entire system. The "power on" sequence starts with the master unit (ID# 0) and continues in order of ID. Do not skip ID numbers when connecting additional units.

To link iSPD units:

• Connect the RS 485 port of all of the linked units together on a common bus. Wire A to A and B to B. It would be advisable if there is a long distance between units to use 110 Ohm cable such as Cat 5e or DMX 512.
• Set the net switch on the master unit to ON (down). This switch and the channel ID switches are located on the rear of the unit. (See connection method diagram and appendix for switch details)
• Set the ID# on the master unit to "0". Set the ID#s of the additional units in the sequence you wish them to turn on. Do not skip ID numbers.
• Use the key switch or remote switch connection on the master unit (ID#0) to control the system.
• If you want to monitor the system, connect the Ethernet port of each unit to a router or switch along with the computer running the Settings and management software. You will need to change the IP address of all but one of the iSPD units so that they do not have the same address. Make sure that they are in the same subnet. For example: 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101 ..... etc.

PC "Settings and Management" software

Although the iSPD power sequencer is completely usable out of the box, the iSPD settings and management software allows the user to monitor the state of the each iSPD output, control the turn-on delays and set outputs to constant on. IPv4 address can also be changed using this program.

The simplest method for connecting the iSPD to your computer is to use a small router with a network address range of 192.168.1.xxx. Your computer should receive an address in the correct range and it will automatically connect once the program is launched. However, you can directly connect the PC to the iSPD with an Ethernet cable, but you may need to set the network interface on your PC to connect using a static IPv4 address. We recommend IPv4 address of "192.168.1.250" with a subnet mask of "255.255.255.0" if necessary.

Always On

There can be situations when you want outputs to be always on. In the "Settings for output when powered up", check the boxes you wish to remain ON and click "Submit". These channels will then turn on and will come on whenever power is applied to the iSPD Pro.

The box labeled "Time settings for each output" is used to set the delay in seconds for each output. The delay time is the time from when the previous channel is activated. So with the default settings of 1 second each, there will be a 1 second delay between each output activation and it will take 8 seconds to activate all circuits. There may be cases, especially in larger systems that you may wish to set a delay to 0. Use the up/down arrows to change the delay setting then click submit to send the changes to the unit.
