The 4460 module is a fail-safe protection switch for two ASI sources. When a fault is detected in the primary input, and the secondary input is verified as good, the relay will activate causing the secondary input to be switched to the module’s output. This module is a perfect fit with encoders, servers, and other ASI compliant equipment. The switch can operate in two modes; automatic or non-resetting.

In full automatic mode, the 4460 will switch back to the primary signal once it’s been restored. In the non-resetting mode, the secondary input remains routed to the output, even after the primary input has recovered.

This module can be monitored locally and remotely. The remote control system is accessed using an Avenue Control Panel or Avenue PC. Modules can be updated with new software as new formats are supported. Software is updated with Avenue’s built-in networking capability.
