Wiring TCS KA2 to Atlas SD24 and BLI EMD NW2 Switcher
Posted by Docjmp on Friday, September 11, 2015 7:05 PM

I want to install a TCS KA2 to the boards inside of my Atlas SD24 (QSI board) and also inside of my BLI EMD NW2 switcher (Paragon 2). Once, I've removed the covers, the boards look nothing like the examples I've seen for other boards. Has anyone installed KA2s to either of these boards. I'm a visual type learner, so I'm looking for a disgram. Thanks.

Talk to BLI about the NW2.  There may be a compatability issue with installing a KA with their decoder.  I have not confirmed this myself, and BLI's customer support staff was really good the last time I talked to them.
