6. INSTALLATION
6.1 Initial Installation Record
When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet
in Appendix A. This will help both the installation personnel and AFL should these figures
be needed for future reference or diagnosis.
6.1.1 Rack Mounted Equipment
Installation will be a matter of securing each shelf into its appropriate place in the rack
cabinet, connecting all the cables (RF, DC and alarm) to their correct ports/connectors and
system testing (at the customer’s discretion) to prove the original specification. Care should
be exercised when moving the 8U chassis as the weight may surprise an operator. Power
should not be applied until all connections have been double-checked and verified.
6.1.2 Wall Mounted Equipment
The size and weight of the wall mounting enclosure(s) mean that they represent a significant
weight hazard when fitting. In the interests of safety this should be done before any
electrical, RF, or alarm connections are made.
The equipment must be located on a perpendicular, flat surface that is made from a material
suitable for bearing the weight of the whole assembly with attached cables. If the installer is
in any doubt about the suitability of a site it is recommended that he consult with an
appropriately qualified Structural Engineer.
It is important in determining the location of the units that space is allowed for access to the
front and underneath of the equipment. To enable maintenance to be carried out, the door
must be able to open fully.
The location should be served with a duct to allow the entry of cables into the equipment.
6.1.3 Electrical Connections
The power supply is connected to the equipment via an IP65 connector located on the
bottom or side surface. It is recommended that the connection is made by a qualified
electrician, who must satisfy himself that the supply will be the correct voltage and of
sufficient capacity.
All electrical and RF connection should be completed and checked prior to power being
applied for the first time.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
