Modular design of the matrix switch
Functions of components
Controller and switch card are required to operate the matrix and are part of the
scope of delivery.
IMPORTANT:
In addition to controller and switch card, operating the matrix
requires one

from outside into the device. The fans oftheFan OUT boards blow air out of the
casing.
A filter placed in front of the fans of the Fan IN board protects the components in
the casing against dust.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to change the filters regularly. The time between
changing filters depends on how much the device is exposed to dust:
strong dust exposure:
regular dust exposure:
light dust exposure:
Regularly check the condition of the filter. Clean lightly dusted filters by tapping
and/or light bursts of compressed air. Change the filter at the latest after a period
of six months.

least two power supply modules, you can replace one of the modules during ope-

By distributing the load, the power is supplied evenly across all active power sup-
ply modules.
