4.1 Powering the Unit
 To power a rack-mount unit
1. Insert the A-80 into a Siqura MC 10 or MC 11 power supply cabinet.
2. Plug the cabinet power cord into a grounded mains socket.
 To power a stand-alone unit
A stand-alone (/SA) A-80 requires an external power supply adapter (12 VDC).
1. Connect the power adapter to the power connector on the metal SA housing.
2. Plug the power adapter into a grounded mains socket.
4.2 Connecting Cables
Use the appropriate connectors on the A-80 front panel (on page 12) to connect network and
signal cables.
 To connect the A-80 to your 100/10Mbit IP/Ethernet network
 Plug the network cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet socket on the A-80 front panel.
Important: Use appropriate cabling (Cat 5 or Cat 6) for network links.
 To connect audio and/or contact closure sources/destinations
1. Strip off 8 mm (0.44 inch) of insulation from the wire end.
Important: Use wire range 28-20AWG for your audio and contact closure connections.
2. Consult Connector Pin Assignments (on page 14), to determine which connector to use for
your purpose.
3. Insert the exposed wire end into the spring-cage connector.
4. Pull the wire gently to check that it is properly connected.
(To disconnect: pull the wire while keeping the orange push-in button pressed).
