Auxiliary Output connector
(Also labeled DIGITAL IF)
Notes:
Be aware there is no common ground for the relays, relay one has one contact at pin 2
and the other side of the relay is pin 10. You will need to common one side of all four
relays as you interconnect to Smartcaster’s 780 cards.
Testing STAGUIDE Relays
First, navigating the menus needs a little explanation. You use the LEFT, RIGH, UP,
DOWN, and ENTER keys to get around. As you move up and down, the menu list is
scrolling, and the bottom line of the display is the one that is active. For example, the top
menu display at default says “TRACKING / ACQUIRING”
From here if you use the left and right arrows, it is the BOTTOM line of the display that
moves between the choices, PORT MENU, CARRIER MENU, CONFIG MENU, and
STATUS MENU. For some reason that confused me. The item we want is found on the
port menu. In Starguide world, ports are card slots relating to the position of a card in the
main frame, and for some reason, all the Starguides I have seen put the first card in the
“C” port. For the rest of this discussion I’m assuming port “C”.
When you press “ENTER” on the Port Menu, that moves up one line and USUALLY
has “Port “A” show up on the active (bottom) line of the display.
Use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow to get to “PORT C” and hit enter.
PORT C moves up a line and you have “PROVIDER” in the active window.
Use LEFT - RIGHT to get to “CARD SETTINGS” and hit enter.
CARD SETTINGS moves up a line and you have RELAY PORT
Relay port is where we want to go next, so just punch “ENTER”
That shows RELAY STATUS, this is helpful, but not where we want to be right now, so
a LEFT arrow will change the menu to TEST RELAYS, and that’s the one we want, so
“ENTER”
TEST RELAYS is now at the top line and we have 4 zeros displayed on the active
menu line.
You can press a left or right arrow key to move the cursor between the four relays, and
use the UP and DOWN arrows to change the status from a 0 to a 1. THIS DOES NOT
change that relays status yet, only after you have pressed “ENTER” are the changes
latched into the relay panel!
