VDE EMI/RFI Modifications to Matrix Cables
User−supplied matrix cables for VDE installations require a ferrite core over each end of the cable, adjacent to the connector.

System protection features
ALARM MODES
The CM 4000 master alarm is asserted when:
• The main CPU (or a main CPU task) is not operating properly, or
• The power supply is not operating properly, or
• The unit is in the process of rebooting.
The master alarm condition is indicated by a “00,” “01,” or “FF” indication on the front panel LED display, and at the rear
panel Alarm BNC connector. Electrically, the Alarm BNC operates according to SMPTE standard 269M−1999. When an
alarm is asserted, the circuit associated with the Alarm connector will present a low impedance to an external current source
circuit provided by the customer. Figure 2−8 shows the CM alarm circuit (left) and an example of a customer−supplied indica-
tor circuit (right).
