EdgeFLEX 600 - Release 2.0 2-11
EdgeFLEX 600 Installation
Connecting System Cables
Connecting the Local Console Cable
To connect a local console cable (included in the Accessory Kit) to the RS-232 serial connector on the
EdgeFLEX 600, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the local console cable to use as the local connection for network management.
2. Connect the cable to the mini RS-232 port labeled COM 1 on the front of the chassis.
Connecting the Timing Input Cable
The EdgeFLEX 600 provides two timing inputs, supporting RJ-48C form-factor connectors. To connect
a cable to the timing connector on the EdgeFLEX 600, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the cable from the external timing source.
2. Insert the cable’s RJ-48C connector into the port labeled TIMING IN 1 on the front of the
EdgeFLEX 600.
3. (optional) If a secondary timing source is available, connect it to the port labeled TIMING IN
2 on the front of the EdgeFLEX 600.
Connecting the Timing Output Cable
The EdgeFLEX 600 provides two timing outputs, OUT 1 and OUT 2 adjacent to the timing inputs. The
OUT ports may be used to pass the timing signal received by the EdgeFLEX 600 to another device.
The OUT ports provide a pass through of the timing signal when the EdgeFLEX 600 is powered off.
When the EdgeFLEX 600 is powered, the timing OUT 1 port is synchronized to the timing signal
received on timing port IN 1. OUT 2 is connected to IN 2 in the same manner.
Connecting the Alarm Contacts
The EdgeFLEX 600 is equipped with four voltage sense inputs (range 5 to 75Vdc) for detecting external
circuit closures, and contact outputs (NO/C/NC) for Critical, Major, Minor, Audible and Visible alarms.
Refer to Appendix A for the connector pinouts, and the Management card label for contact location. To
connect the alarm contact wiring to the relay connectors, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the alarm terminal blocks from the EdgeFLEX 600 accessory kit.
2. The round holes in the top and bottom rows are the wire insertion points. These holes have a
spring-loaded retaining mechanism. To release the retaining mechanism, carefully insert a
small probe (such as a small screwdriver) into the square hole directly above or below the
desired wire location, then insert the wire into the corresponding round hole. Remove the probe
to re-engage the retaining mechanism and lock the wire in place.
Insert the wires from the contact closures into the appropriate locations on the terminal blocks
in this fashion until the connections to each block have been made as desired.
