[pt] Precauções
• Este material destina-se a ser instalado em um acesso restrito.
• Quando instalar o equipamento, não fixar o cabo de alimentação em superfícies do
edifício.
• Não faça reparações que não estão no manual de instruções, a menos que você estiver
qualificado. Solicite a assistência de pessoal qualificado. A manutenção deve ser

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely
affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame
always follow ESD-prevention procedures:
• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord
or any other means if available.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the
grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted
ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted
metal part of the chassis.
• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should
be between 1 and 10 megohms.
• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.
• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD
protection.
[fr] Protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (DES)
Une décharge électrostatique peut se produire lorsque des composants électroniques ne
sont pas manipulés de manière adéquate, ce qui peut entraîner des défaillances
intermittentes ou endommager irrémédiablement un circuit électrique. Au moment de
remplacer une carte dans un châssis, prenez toujours les mesures de protection
antistatique appropriées :
• Assurez-vous que le châssis est relié électriquement à la terre par le cordon
d'alimentation ou tout autre moyen disponible.
• Portez un bracelet antistatique et assurez-vous qu'il est bien en contact avec la peau.
Connectez la pince de masse à une surface non peinte du châssis pour détourner à la
terre toute tension électrostatique indésirable. En l’absence de bracelet antistatique,
déchargez l’électricité statique de votre corps en touchant une surface métallique non
peinte du châssis.

User Guide
• Pour plus de sécurité, vérifiez périodiquement la valeur de résistance du bracelet
antistatique. Elle doit se situer entre 1 et 10 mégohms.
• Si vous devez mettre une carte de côté, assurez-vous de la ranger dans un sac
protecteur antistatique.
• Les cartes qui sont reliées à un châssis ou boîtier métallique mis à la terre ne
nécessitent pas de protection antistatique spéciale.
[es] Protección contra descargas electrostáticas (DES)
La descarga electrostática se produce cuando los componentes electrónicos se manipulan
de forma incorrecta pudiendo causar una falla intermitente o total afectando un circuito
eléctrico. Al quitar y reemplazar una tarjeta de un chasis siempre siga los procedimientos
para prevenir la DES:
• Asegúrese de que el chasis está conectado eléctricamente a tierra a través del cable de
alimentación o cualquier otro medio si está disponible.
• Use una pulsera de DES asegurando que tiene buen contacto con la piel. Conecte la
pinza de puesta a tierra a una superficie sin pintar del chasis para desviar a tierra
cualquier voltaje de DES indeseable. Si ninguna pulsera está disponible, conéctese a
tierra tocando la parte metálica sin pintar del chasis.
• Para su seguridad, verifique periódicamente el valor de la resistencia de la pulsera
antiestática, que debe estar entre 1 y 10 megaohmios.
• Al guardar temporalmente una tarjeta electrónica asegúrese que está colocado en una
bolsa de DES.
• Las tarjetas que están conectadas a un chasis de o caja de metal a tierra, no requieren
una protección especial para la DES.
[pt] Proteção contra descargas eletrostáticas (DES)
DES ocorre quando os componentes eletrônicos são manipulados de forma inadequada e
pode causar falha intermitente ou completa afetando um circuito elétrico. Remover e
substituir um cartão eletrônico do chassi siga sempre os procedimentos para evitar DES:
• Certifique-se de que o chassi é eletricamente aterrado através do cabo de alimentação
ou qualquer outro meio, se disponível.
• Utilize uma pulseira DES assegurando que você tenha um bom contato com a pele.
Conecte o clipe à terra a uma superfície não pintada do chassi para desviar qualquer
tensão indesejável de DES. Se nenhuma pulseira está disponível, faça o aterramento
tocando a parte metálica não pintada do chassi.
• Por segurança, verificar periodicamente o valor da resistência da pulseira antiestática,
que deve ser entre 1 e 10 megohms.
• Por temporariamente salvar um cartão eletrônico, certifique-se de que ele é colocado
em um saco de DES.
• As cartas que estão ligados a um chassis ou caixa de metal ligada à terra, não

Introduction
Thunder is the newest generation high-volume audio/data/intercom transport link from
Grass Valley, a Belden Brand. Thunder transports up to 80 audio, intercom, or data paths,
configurable in 8-path groups (10 groups total), all on one or two strands of fiber, at the
lowest price and most compact size ever available.
Simply equip the compact 1RU frame with the appropriate Thunder Bolt I/O cards to create
a fiber optic link that can solve virtually any audio/intercom/data connectivity situation in
the teleproduction environment.
You buy only the components that you need. Individual analog and AES breakout panels as
well as data and intercom devices can be configured in any combination to create an audio
system that is perfectly suited to your particular application.
Whether you need a system that requires all 80 channels of audio, a mix of audio, data or
GPI channels, or even all data or GPI channels, Thunder provides maximum flexibility and
convenience.
Analog audio signals can even be converted to AES format, and vice versa, by just
configuring Thunder with an analog input or output Bolt card at one end of the system and
an AES I/O Bolt card at the other.
Up to ten internal Bolt I/O cards can be installed in a frame.
Six Bolt cards are available:
• Analog Audio Input (balanced); 8 channels
• Analog Audio Output (balanced); 8 channels
• AES Input; 4 channels (8 analog when decoded)
• AES Output; 4 channels (8 analog when decoded)
• Multiformat digital (RS-232/422/485); 4 channels, bidirectional
• GPI (general purpose, dry contact, SPST remote switch closures); 8 channels,
bidirectional

Introduction
Key Features and Benefits
• Up to 40 km (24.85 mi.) range (20 dB link budget) on one or two single-mode fiber
strands with DFB SFPs.
• Up to 80 audio or 40 data paths, configurable in 8/4-path groups (10 groups total)
• Superior audio quality
• 1 RU Thunder main chassis plus 1RU and 1.5 RU breakout panels
• 8 or 16 channels per breakout panel
• 1 RU Thunder main chassis also provides two additional bidirectional channels of
multiformat data (RS-232/422/485), one channel of GPI and a BNC input connector for
synchronizing AES audio output cards in the Thunder chassis to house clock timing
• Breakout panels can be mounted in front or behind the Thunder main chassis, and
interconnected with DB-25 cables (supporting 8 channels each)
• Optional redundant fiber IN and OUT ports, both
• Integral optical power monitoring for local and remote signal strength
System Overview
The primary element in Grass Valley’s Thunder system is a single 1RU frame that
incorporates all of the signal processing required to consolidate up to 80 audio or data
paths onto a single fiber strand; a second output for a redundant backup fiber is available.
The frame contains cards for each signal format that will be processed. Associated with the
frame are breakout panels with connectors providing access to the system for the various
formats that can be carried.
A complete system requires a frame with processing cards and breakout panels at each end
of the link.
