Product Description
Overview
The ACO-3901 Automatic Changeover Unit is a non-generic automatic
changeover unit that supports two input sources: the MTG-3901 Master
Time Generator or the CSD-3902 Clock System Driver.
The ACO-3901 provides redundant switching between a primary
MTG-3901, a secondary MTG-3901 and an external source (or between
a primary CSD-3902, a secondary CSD-3902, and an external source).
The switch from primary to secondary inputs can be isolated to a single
channel or made globally to the other available channels. Faults in input
signals are indicated through front panel LEDs and via an audible
alarm, heard on a speaker located on the ACO-3901 front module.
In the event of a power failure in the NEO frame, the ACO-3901
automatically switches to the external 24 volt source.
Main Features
The ACO-3901 Automatic Changeover Unit has the following features:
• Two sets of inputs from two MTG-3901 modules or two CSD-3902
modules
• One set of inputs from an external source
• Three-module construction, with a front module for active
electronics, a rear card for relays, and a back module for
connectivity
• Single-channel or global switching
• Automatic switching to backup sources
• Automatic switching to 24 volt external power source in the event
of power loss
• 24 V DC backup power supply unit
• User-configurable fail condition for electrical (threshold) or
legitimate signal (audio, video)
• Audio alarm in case of source or power failure
• Self-generating failed source outputs error list visible on card-edge,
CCS software, and CCS control panels

This chapter describes how to operate the ACO-3901 module using
card-edge controls.
The following topics are found in this chapter:
• “Operation Notes” on page 34
• “GPO Pinouts” on page 34
• “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 36
• “Navigating the Operator and All Lists” on page 39
• “Operator and All List Parameters” on page 40
• “Setup Parameters” on page 56
• “Alarms” on page 57
• “State Recovery Parameter Availability” on page 62
• “LED and Module Indicators” on page 63
Operation Notes
When using the ACO-3901 module, the following operation notes
Caution should be observed:
Failure to observe these • Although the effect of a parameter change may appear to be

module’s parameter settings. change. If another change is made during these 20 seconds, the first
parameter change and the second parameter change will not be
saved until 20 seconds after the second parameter change. There is
no limit to the number of changes that can be made within 20
seconds of each other. However, none of these changes will be
saved until 20 seconds after the last parameter change.
• When the FctryRcl (factory recall) parameter is set to Yes, the
module takes several seconds to reset all of the parameters. (See
the “Operator and All List Parameters” on page 40 or the “Tree
View Parameters” on page 75 to view the factory recall default
settings.) Setup parameters are not affected by the factory recall
mode.
• Some parameters will be locked out if certain settings are made.
When this occurs, a lock icon will appear beside the affected
parameters in the card-edge VFD.
GPO Pinouts
Table 1-3 on page 7 lists back module pins of the DB-15 connector that
include the GPI output closures labelled GPO_CL1 and GPO_CL2.
These two pins are controlled by a number of parameters that begin on
page 50 in the Operator and All List, and page 80 of the Tree View.
To configure the two GPOs, enable or disable those parameters (shown
in the following excerpt from pages 50 to 51 of the Operator and All
List). Although the names of the parameters begin with “GPI,” they are
in fact, used to configure the GPOs.
Setup Parameters
You can modify the Setup parameters to configure the card-edge
Note controls for your personal needs. The Setup section appears at the end

Alarms
The ACO-3901 has two types of alarms: traditional CCS-enabled
alarms, and additional user-configurable hardware alarms.
CCS-Enabled Alarms
ACO-3901 modules provide a default list of 70 CCS-enabled alarms.
You can disable these alarms by modifying the Alarms parameter in the
Setup section.
When you select Alarms, the active alarms are visible in the display,
below Config (Configurations). If no alarms are active, only Config
appears.
Alarm Synchronization
Alarm synchronization is available for this module if your NEO frame
contains a 3901RES-E resource module that supports the feature. When
active, alarm synchronization ensures that the alarm configuration
settings of card-edge controls and the CCS control software and control
panels are consistent.
If the ACO-3901 module is set for local control, the alarm settings will
appear the same at both the card edge and via CCS, but the settings can
only be changed using the card-edge controls. If the module is set for
remote control, the alarm settings can be changed via both the card edge
and CCS control software and control panels.
Alarm configuration settings undergo DejaView (state recovery)
automatically. This means that when a module is hot-swapped, the
alarm configuration for the new module is updated to the settings of the
module that was previously in that slot. See “State Recovery Parameter
Availability” in this chapter for more information.

Hardware Alarms
The ACO-3901 has additional hardware alarms that operate
independently of the CCS-enabled alarms. Unlike CCS alarms, you can
change the Major or Minor designation of the hardware alarms. These
alarms are represented by the Major or Minor LEDs located on the left
front corner of the ACO-3901 module.
The following parameters enable or disable the hardware alarms:
• AudPPSEn
• AudSPSEn
• AudMTG1En
• AudMTG2En
• AudExtEn
• AudOutEn
• AudCPUEn
• AudM1VBEn
• AudM2VBEn
• AudExtVBEn
