DMXPathfinder LR Installation & Assembly

Chapter 1: Installation and Assembly

SUMMARY

This section describes how to correctly assemble the DMXPathfinder MR

hardware into an equipment rack and connect permanently installed external

wiring.

To ensure a trouble-free installation, you should follow this sequence:

1. Install the equipment rack

2. Run conduit and pull cable

3. Install auxiliary rack equipment and power bars

4. Mount termination boards (if applicable)

5. Dress cable in the rack and terminate (if possible)

6. Unpack the DMXPathfinder MR I/O Modules and prepare

7. Install the I/O Modules in the rack

8. Connect cabling to the I/O Modules

9. Power up and test

BEFORE STARTING

Before installing the DMXPathfinder MR equipment rack, you should

carefully consider the environment in which the equipment is to be installed, the

proximity to power sources, and the required conduit and/or cable runs.

Environmental Considerations -- To maximize equipment life and minimize

the possibility of unreliable operation or failures, the following conditions should

be adhered to:

• Ambient temperature extremes: -10 to 50 degrees C

• Recommended operating temperature: +10 to +40 degrees C

• Relative humidity: 10-95% non-condensing

• General conditions: clean, dust-free environment

Fan Cooling -- Each of the DMXPathfinder MR Output Modules is provided with

an internal cooling fan. These fans draw air in on the right hand side and

exhaust air on the left. To ensure adequate air circulation, do not block the

modules at either side. If more than two or three Output Modules are installed in
