Merging Art and Technology - Peterson Electro …

1 Merging Art and Technology7thEditionOrgan Building CatalogDear Friends,As we prepared to print this new Organ Building Catalog, I was surprised torealize just how much our product line has changed since the last printing. Morethan 25 pages have been replaced or modified to reflect updates to Petersonequipment over the last four years. After more than 55 years in the business, our dedication to bringing you excellent, innovative products for the pipe organ is stronger today than ever! A major focus of our engineering staff has been the ongoing refinement of theICS-4000 TMIntegrated Control System, which has now become the system ofchoice for dozens of organbuilders.

2 This powerful, state-of-the-art yet competi-tively priced product brings coupling, switching, combination action, pistonsequencer, built-in record/playback, and full MIDI functions to organists throughtraditional organ controls and an attractive 21st century control panel. Webelieve that no other pipe organ control system anywhere in the world supportsmore features, is more intuitive and convenient to use, or is more adaptable tothe widely ranging requirements of new or rebuilt instruments. From the sophisti-cated ICS-4000 to our lowest tech switching and combination action systems,which have been proven in many thousands of installations worldwide, Petersonnow offers a truly unmatched range of control system products to suit virtually addition to control systems, this catalog shows you the full line of Petersonpipe-organ-related components and services, all of which are backed by ourfriendly and capable technical support/ customer service team.

3 You can dependon us before, during, and long after the sale to make sure all of your expectationsare met. I hope you will enjoy exploring this catalog as much as we enjoy the privilege ofworking with our customers and friends on dozens of fulfilling projects each ,Scott R.

Early installations havenow been in use for well over thirty years, andalthough the details have evolved as improvementswere made, the innovative yet simple modular designpioneered by Peterson in the 1960s still makes this afavorite for many projects today.

6 The quick response,maintenance-free reliability due in part to its lack ofmoving parts, and silent operation all contribute to thissystem s phenomenal success. For many applications,the relatively low Technology level of diode matrixmeans less cost than with multiplexing and computerbased systems. This product is credited by many fortransforming the way electric action organs are con-trolled throughout the pipe organ Peterson Diode Matrix Switching System is acustom built electronic panel for performing the keyswitching and stop control functions of a pipe to work with any wind chest having an electric action, it is equally applicable to Electro -pneu-matic or all-electric types.

7 Stops can be straight, or anydegree of duplexing or unification can be Matrix Switching Systems consist of a numberof modular assemblies of solid state componentsincluding transistors, diodes, integrated circuits andresistors on one or more panels designed to mount in or near the organ chamber(s). Specially designed disconnectable junctions allow the various modules to be factory tested and assembled. At the time ofinstallation, the installer simply wires a cable from eachchest to a connector provided, which is then pluggedonto its related assembly. Similarly, single switch contacts associated with the keys of each playing manual, the pedal board, and from the stop tablets,must be wired to connectors which also plug in asclearly labeled.

8 Other than the above, the PetersonSolid State Switching System is supplied completelywired, tested and Peterson Solid State Switching System originated as a modern substitute for mechanical relaysthat could offer much higher reliability with virtually no maintenance. With solid state, thousands ofswitch contacts are replaced by semiconductor devices,which can never pit, corrode or require adjustment. All components are sealed against humidity, dust andother environmental factors. Except for one contactper playing key, and one contact per stop control,there are absolutely no contacts to ever require adjusting or cleaning. Because there are no movingparts, there is nothing to stick, bind or make for the movement of the stop tablets and theplaying keys, the action is totally silent.

9 It is indeedstartling to push the Sforzando piston and have the full organ appear without the slightest attendant the solid state switches operate at the speed of light, the action is totally responsive without the lag that is frequently associated with mechanical the playing keys must each operate only a single key switch, the loading on the key is insignificant,and the key tension and type of return spring can beselected and adjusted for the best possible feel. Key contact reliability and durability is enhanced inthat the key switch current is less than that required byeven a single chest magnet; in addition, it is non- inductive. This means no contact sparking.

10 Never anypitting or burning. Finally, because there are no actionDiode Matrix Switching SystemSolid state coupler/relay for pipe organsModular design. Low tech electronic of proven reliability inthousands of cost for easily expandedor totally configured, tested and to constantly consume power, a much smallerand less costly rectifier can be used. The total powerconsumption is essentially that required to operate thechest magnets. With the Diode Matrix Switching System, no special power supplies are required, and a regular 12 to 18 Volt organ rectifier may be used. Voltageappearing at the chest magnet is about one volt lessthan the voltage at the rectifier.
