1.3 4092A Overview
The TSC 4092A IRIG-B Autosense Fault Switch is a 1U (1.75") high, 19-inch, rack-mount,
autosense, fault switch that accepts two IRIG-B inputs and produces eight outputs (chosen from
the two inputs). The unit can be configured with redundant hot swappable AC or DC power
supplies. The TSC 4092A can also be configured to accept two 1-200 kHz sinewave signals but
traditionally would be used as an IRIG-B Fault Switch.
The front panel provides green/red LED status for the inputs and for all output signals, as well as
indicating the active input signal. A green/red LED on the front panel also provides power status.
The front panel also has a locking toggle control switch that you can use to manually switch
between input signals or to configure the unit to switch automatically upon input signal failure.
An Ethernet port on the rear panel provides the capability to remotely monitor the status of the
power supplies, input, and all output signals. Any failure in the unit will immediately provide an
alarm to this port.

When opening the top cover and changing the power supply settings, use proper ESD precautions.
This includes ensuring that you are properly grounded before touching the internal PWA of the
unit to change the jumper settings.
Required for this procedure:
„
#1 Phillips screwdriver

4.6 Replacing Power Supplies
For units with a single power supply, the normal LED state is for one LED to be green and the
other not lit. For units with dual power supplies, the normal LED state is for both LEDs to be
green.
If a power supply LED is red, check that the affected power supply is connected to a properly
functioning 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. If the LED remains red, you should replace
the power supply.
For AC power supplies, use only TSC 4501A power supplies. For DC power supplies, use only
TSC 4502A power supplies.
In a unit with dual power supplies, you can hot swap the power supplies. This means you can leave
the working power supply connected to power and all input and output devices connected when
you replace the failed power supply.
