Connections
Audio / Video Connections
The P MX 3212 B MiniModule is configured with
standard 75 Ohm BNC connectors. Connection is
self-explanatory. We recommend the use of high
quality cable suitable for digital video / audio
connections to reduce the risk of interference or
errors due to excessive cable attenuation.
Page 11
Reference Manual P MX 3212 Version1.0
Power Connections
If using the module in a stand-alone application
use the separate R PS 3001 E (for Europe) or R PS
3001 U (USA) power brick option.
DC Power Connector
The MiniModule has a captive power lead fitted to
the module, with a male 5 pin locking bayonet
connector. This connection provides DC power
and also data connectivity to the module.
Connector wiring is shown below.

Male Connector
(view looking into connector from front)
Caution
!
Only use the optional LYNX R PS power
modules. Please make sure the brick is not
connected to the main supply when
making the DC power connection to the
module. Ensure the 5-pin power
connector is locked securely in place.

Stand Alone Operation
The P MX 3212 B MiniModule can be used in a
stand alone application. There are two options for
the use of the module in this way.
!
when using the module in this way, as
it is not physically secured. Keep the
module away from the floor to avoid
the risk of someone stepping or
tripping on the unit, and locate the
unit away from excessive sources of
heat and any sources or moisture.
Page 13
Reference Manual P MX 3212 Version1.0
Multiple Units
Most applications will require more than one
MiniModule, which can include any of the
available Series 3000 MiniModule product range.
There are two options for mounting multiple units.
Page 14
Reference Manual P MX 3212 Version1.0
Electrical Installation.
Stand Alone Operation
The MiniModule requires the R PS 3001 power brick
option for stand-alone operation. Two versions are
available R PS 3001 E for European markets and R
PS 3001 U for the US markets. Please ensure you
have the correct power option for your region. The
connection to the module is made with a small 5-
pin connector, which has a twist bayonet securing
system. Please make sure the connection is solid
and locked in place. A strain relief is included within
the module to prevent excessive strain on the
connection.
!
Caution. Only use the optional LYNX R PS 1
power modules. Please make sure the
brick is not connected to the main supply
when making the DC power connection
to the module. Ensure the 5-pin power
connector is locked securely in place.
!
Caution. Care needs to be taken when
using the module in this way, if it is not
physically secured. Keep the module
away from the floor to avoid the risk of
someone stepping or tripping on the unit,
and locate the unit away from excessive
sources of heat and any sources or
moisture.
Page 15
Reference Manual P MX 3212 Version1.0
Multiple Units
When installing multiple MiniModule units it is
recommended you use the R FR 3005 Rack Frame 1
and / or R FR 3010 Rack Frame 2 options. Please
refer to the documentation supplied with these
options for details on electrical installation.

Service Adapter
This module is complex by design. Configurations
are much easier with the R CT 3000 Service
Adapter. This provides a simple PC GUI for
configuration use. Settings can be quickly changed
and stored to the module flash ram. No local switch
settings are necessary. A single Service Adapter
can be used for all MiniModules.
Page 17
Reference Manual P MX 3212 Version1.0
Dip Switch 1
This switch enables local control using the dip-
switches. ON enables local control and makes
selections on the dipswitch active, and OFF
disables local control (locking out any local
changes)
Note.
When Switch 1 is initially switched to ON, the static
settings currently set on the dip-switches may not
reflect the actual configuration stored in the
module. This is because all settings can be
changed from the remote control system or via the
Service Adapter. This overrides the local dip
switches regardless of Switch 1 ON/OFF setting. To
ensure the module reads the local dip switch
settings it is recommended to toggle Switch 1 ON-
OFF-ON before making any local changes to the
dip switches.

Auto Store
If no parameters are changed for 10 seconds then
the current settings will be written into flash memory
automatically, this can be seen by the front LED
flashing yellow four times.

*Note
When working in 525 mode with 24 Bit audio
selected then only the first three groups can be
embedded. Group 4 is locked. In 525 mode with
20-bit audio all four groups are accessible.

Locate Function
For larger systems which may have multiple
MiniModules of the same type in a single rack, or
multiple rack systems on a large central control
system we have added a useful utility which will
help to visually locate a suspect module quickly
(When used in conjunction with the optional
control system and software)
