Packaging
• All packages must be opened with a box cutter with the blade minimally exposed so that only the sealing
tape is cut.
• Save all packaging material until the system has been powered up and all parts are operating within
specifications. The shipping package may be used to return defective parts.
Install and Configure Slot/Door-Mount Controllers
The controller is available factory installed into a door/panel of a power system, supplied as a removable
slot controller, or provided as 1U frame mount controller. All these controllers utilize the same main
microprocessor board. All functions, inputs, and outputs described are applicable to all controller
configurations. The differences in the controllers are due the nuances of the front panel and physical
packaging. The NE843A, CP843A, and EP843D Slot controllers are very similar as are the NE843C, NE843E,
and Ne843P. The NE843A, NE843C, and NE843P will be described. Information for the NE843G will also be
provided since its package is the most different.
Before power is applied, some basic configuration may be required that is applicable to all configurations.
