INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Extended internal CAN cable.
Internal RS-232 cable.
CAN interface main, BC3026.
External 5m long CAN cable.
Before starting any work ensure consoles are switched OFF.
Lift out the VCA fader blocks and remove the old internal CAN cable which runs the length of the console.
Place the new extended internal CAN cable in the fader tray and connect all the VCA fader blocks to it. Fit the
VCA fader blocks back in the frame except for channel 17-24. Ensure the free end of the new extended CAN
cable is available at this point.
Remove input modules 22-24, if you need more space lift out more and some group modules if necessary. Draw
the cable through the rectangular pipe located under the left-hand side group modules and catch the cable at the
other end of the pipe at the rear of the console. Refit VCA fader block 17-24.
Remove the RS-232 connector and it's cable. Put the new CAN interface main board in the old RS-232 hole
and use thread locking compound to ensure the mounting threads do not become loose during operation.
Connect the internal RS-232 cable from SK 1 on Midi connector board (B2949) to socket SK 1 on CAN
interface main board (BC3026). Then connect the extended internal CAN cable to socket SK 2 on the CAN
interface main board.
Finally connect the H3000 main console to the extender console with the external 5m long CAN cable. Port
RS-232 on the main console to port EXT CAN BUS RS232 on the extender console and test the system. Refit
all the remaining input and group modules.
Ensure the main console is running the same code as the slave (which should be code version 1.5 or higher).
During normal operation the extender console should always be powered up before (or at the same time) as the
main console. This ensures that the main consoles automation system recognizes the extender console is
connected. During a code re-program the slave and master must be powered up at the same time.
