Connecting Analog ADC Devices via the Patch Panel
You use the Vicon patch panel to connect analog ADC cards in the
MX Control to an external third-party analog devices.
The Vicon ADC screw terminal patch panel is contained in a gray
plastic case measuring 259 mm x 157 mm x 61mm. The 100-way
cable used to connect an analog ADC card in the MX Control to the
patch panel is 2.1 m long. You may need to create a suitable plug to
connect your third-party device to the patch panel (for details, see
Analog Option on page A-11). You must open the patch panel case
to connect new signal cables for your device to the patch panel.
To connect ADC devices to the MX Control via the patch
panel:
1. Ensure all equipment is switched off and the power cables are
removed.
2. Remove the four dark plastic screw covers on the top of the plastic
box using the flat screwdriver blade.
3. Remove the four M3 Pozidrive screws on the lid of the box to
expose the patch panel, shown in Figure A-4.
