- Mounting the Board Assemblies
- 1. Determine an appropriate location for the USN-BASE assembly. (Preferred location is in the upper left quadrant of the control enclosure.)
- 2. Mount the board, facing outward, such that access to critical controller components is not blocked.
- 3. For PTC/PHC programmable controllers, mount the M2C assembly near the USN-BASE assembly. (For a duplex, mount an M2C assembly in each controller enclosure but just one USN-BASE assembly in the enclosure of your choice.)
- 1. Determine an appropriate location for the USN-BASE assembly. (Preferred location is in the upper left quadrant of the control enclosure.)

- 1. Set only the F7 switch UP.
- 2. Press N until Device Type is displayed.
- 3. Press S to select. Supported Device Types are:
- 4. Select the Device Type.
- 5. Press N to go to save menu. Press S to save.
- 6. After the device type has changed, place the F7 switch down.
- 7. Reset the USN board by pressing the RSTA button.
- 8. After the device reboots, confirm new device type is selected.
- 1. Set only the F7 switch UP.

- IMC
- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.
- 2. Connect the supplied C-RJ11/DB9M cable from a controller MC-RS (serial board) COM port to RS232 Port B (J7) on the USN-BASE assembly.
- 3. Through the controller MPU board, set the connected COM port to media= serial and device= PC.
- 4. On the MC-RS board, set the connected COM port slide switch to DCE.
- 5. Press RSTA to reset the USN board so that it will read its new connections.
- 1. Connect to the group controller using a CRT, terminal emulator, or TigerTerm software.
- 2. Press F1, then 1 to get to the General configuration screen.
- 3. Access the ICOM setting. Set it to the COM port connected to the MC-USN board. For example, if the MC- USN board is connected to COM2 on the MC-RS board, set the ICOM setting to COM2.
- 4. Save.
- 5. With the Function Switch F8 switch UP (all others down), press N to cycle through the menu to verify that information is correct.
- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.
- PTC/PHC
- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.
- 2. The boards in the controller are connected along a ribbon cable bus. Connect the M2C assembly’s “From PCA” (JP3) to the last controller board on the bus using supplied ribbon cable.
- 3. Connect the M2C assembly’s CAN2 port to the “Internal Network” (J5) connector on the USN-BASE assembly using the C-RJ-11 cable .
- 4. For Duplex, connect both CAN2 ports on the M2C assembly to supplied splitter. Then plug the splitter into “Internal Network” (J5) connector on USN-BASE assembly.
- 5. Press RSTA to reset the USN board so that it will read its new connections.
- 6. With the Function Switch F8 switch UP (all others down), press N to cycle through the menu to verify that information is correct.
- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.

USN Installation
Installation instructions include:
• MCE IMC and PTC/PHC Controls
• Motion 3000ES Escalator Controls
• USN Power Connection
Note
After mounting USN components in your equipment, ensure that no serial, ethernet, or CAN
connections are made to the device. Only power should be connected during initial setup.
IMC, PTC, PHC Installation
The Universal Serial Network (USN) converts legacy MCE communication protocols to the lat-
est MCE monitoring, reporting, and building management compatible protocols. For IMC, only
the USN-BASE assembly and power transformer are required. For programmable (PTC/PHC)
controllers, one M2C assembly is required for each controller in addition to the USN-BASE
assembly and power transformer.

Power transformer -
6-feet power leads are provided but are
not connected to the transformer. Cut
leads to length required and connect to
transformer per local requirements.
