- Case dimensions 631 x 240 x 65 mm 24.8 x 9.5 x 2.53 Inches
- Add additional 33mm 1.3" to length for power connector
- Processor Dimensions 160 x 156 x 32 mm 6.3 x 6.1 x 1.3 Inches
Communication between the main case and the processor is by CAT5 Ethernet cabling. Displays are now based on USB technology and plug into the processor case allowing remote displays of up to 300ft from the main system.
Wiring
Solid State pioneered the use of punch blocks in organ building, however we selected a high performance connector developed by a German manufacturer called Krone that has been in use in the European telecoms industry for 80 years and more recently was adopted for internet
connections in large office buildings around the world. It has been used by us in organ building since 1991.
Power
CapLite operates between 12 to 36-volt as standard. The system itself uses less than 1 Amp to operate, however care must be taken in providing adequate current to switch the organ loads.
Connection is via 85A terminals on the case.
Outputs -
Output modules provide 32 outputs per card. They are provided with Krone connectors to punch the wires directly to them avoiding an extra connector and hence increasing reliability. The card has built in suppression. Each card may be unplugged for service without disturbing the wiring.
Outputs are fused to conform with NEC specifications as is all internal wiring.
- Negative Output - 0.75A maximum rated. Equivalent to 16 Ohms at 12V or 32 Ohms at 24V.
- Positive Output - 0.1A maximum rated. Equivalent to 120 Ohms at 12V or 240 Ohms at 24V.
- Optional Heavy Duty Positive Output - 1.4A maximum rated. Equiv to 9 Ohms at 12V or 18 Ohms at 24V.
Inputs -
Positive Input - A high resistance input with built in surge protection and debouncing for dirty key contacts. The module loads the contact by less than 10mA and will accept inputs from 10 to 36V.
How do I program the CapLite?
There is an input on the pinboard called Scope which when switched on enables you to set the "scope" of the pistons"
there is also a master setup called commisioning mode which sets up the whole system.
I was looking for service information on the previous CapLite
