1 The Module Input Fault indicates an interface fault occurred on a module in the frame. Interface faults are usually generated by another fault condition in the module. For instance, the Loss of Video fault condition will generate an EXT SDI In interface fault if this interface is defined. When you receive a Module Input Fault, check its Data column in the Active Faults tab for more details.

2 When using an external reference to the frame, if the Input Reference Source Select field (General/Reference section) is set to Auto, the controller module will automatically switch to the internal reference signal if it detects the absence of the external reference. The Reference Absent alarm only triggers when Reference mode is set to Primary or Secondary, and the matching external reference is not present. The internal reference is used regardless of the reference mode selected if no external reference is present.

3 The controller module will shut down any module if overheating occurs, and then issues a Module Shutdown fault message. At this point, the power line reaching the module slot is disabled. Reseating the module or inserting a new one in the same slot will not reactivate the slot. To restore power to the slot, reboot the failed slot (from the General > Reboot section of the Frame control panel). To prevent overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all back module slots covered.
