The 5601ACO2 Automatic Changeovers are intended for use with two 5601MSC Master Clock/Sync Generators.The 5601ACO2 system uses latching relays to ensure maximum reliability and minimal disruption in the event of any failure.The complete system provides the highest level of security for television station video and time synchronization systems.The 5601ACO2 is a 2RU ACO for all outputs of the 5601MSC.Two power supplies are included as a standard feature, to alleviate any single point of failure concerns.
Three protected switches select automatic, front panel or GPI activation of changeover
Front panel status LEDs show the health of each of the inputs
Front panel status LEDs show the operational modes of the changeover
Redundant power supply standard
Push button to show cause of last changeover
Dual hot swappable power supplied and fans
Hot swappable main board
GPIO input/outputs
Automatic changeover is a voting system based on which source has the most valid signals and that the valid signals on the present master are also on the backup

Changeover is a voting system based on which source has the most good signals and that the good signals on the current master are also present on the backup master. The input signals are considered good according to the following criteria:
