Power up the Makito X1 Encoder

Note

This page includes information regarding both the original Makito X1 chassis and the Makito X1 chassis v2. The Network connector and DC IN/IO connector on v2 have been changed in order to meet higher vibration requirements. 

MX1 Rugged v2 (#S-MX1E-R-V2-SDI1)

MX1 Rugged v2 (28V DC)


MX1 Rugged (#S-MX1E-R-SDI1)

                             

There is no power switch on the encoder. The power is automatically on when the unit is plugged in.

Warning

When using the AC/DC power adapter, the power cord is the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.

ATTENTION Quand on utilise l'adaptateur AC à DC, le cordon d'alimentation est utilisé comme interrupteur général. La prise de courant doit être située ou installée à proximité de l'équipement et être facile d'accès.

To power up the encoder:

  1. (As shown under Connect to the Network and Audio/Video Sources) Insert the Power/Audio/Serial breakout cable connector into the encoder's the encoder's power input port (DC In & I/O). Both AC and DC power cables (shown following) are shipped as part of the Evaluation Kit (#S-MX1E-R-SDI1-DK/#S-MX1E-R-V2-SDI1-DK).

  2. Make sure the connector is properly inserted and locked to avoid intermittent power problems.
  3. Connect the power cable:
    1. On a 5 volt unit (#S-MX1E-R-SDI1 or #S-MX1E-R-V2-SDI1) connect the power cable to a +5V power source. (The AC PSU can be used to convert from 120V AC to 5VDC ±0.25V.)

    2. On a 28 volt unit (#S-MX1E-R-V2-28V-SDI1-ISR) connect the power cable to a +28V power source.

      Note

      The power connectors have different color bands (yellow indicates the 5V variant; green indicates the 28V variant) and a keying mechanism to prevent connecting a unit to the incorrect power source.

  4. Wait until the Status LED stays solid green, indicating that the encoder is ready for operation.

    Note

    If the Status LED does not turn solid green after at least five minutes, you can attempt to connect to the network via:

    • The Web User Interface, using the device's IP address, or,
    • The CLI, through an SSH using the device's IP address.

    If neither of these options work, perform a factory reset to re-configure the MX1 Rugged. For details, see Resetting the MX1 Rugged in the Makito X1 Rugged Encoder User's Guide

    Important

    The LED status indicator can be shut off completely though the command line interface. In this case, there will be no indications of any kind from the LED. For details, see leds in the Makito X1 Rugged Encoder User's Guide.

  5. (As shown under Connect to the Network and Audio/Video Sources) Insert the Power/Audio/Serial breakout cable connector into the encoder's the encoder's power input port (DC In & I/O). Both AC and DC power cables (shown following) are shipped as part of the Evaluation Kit (#S-MX1E-R-SDI1-DK/#S-MX1E-R-V2-SDI1-DK).

  6. Make sure the connector is properly inserted and locked to avoid intermittent power problems.
  7. Connect the power cable:
    1. On a 5 volt unit (#S-MX1E-R-SDI1 or #S-MX1E-R-V2-SDI1) connect the power cable to a +5V power source. (The AC PSU can be used to convert from 120V AC to 5VDC ±0.25V.)

    2. On a 28 volt unit (#S-MX1E-R-V2-28V-SDI1-ISR) connect the power cable to a +28V power source.

      Note

      The power connectors have different color bands (yellow indicates the 5V variant; green indicates the 28V variant) and a keying mechanism to prevent connecting a unit to the incorrect power source.

  8. Wait until the Status LED stays solid green, indicating that the encoder is ready for operation.

    Note

    • The Web User Interface, using the device's IP address, or,
    • The CLI, through an SSH using the device's IP address.

    If neither of these options work, perform a factory reset to re-configure the MX1 Rugged. For details, see Resetting the MX1 Rugged in the Makito X1 Rugged Encoder User's Guide
