2-8 Installation and Setup

To connect the line:
1. Connect the ground wire to the terminal designated GND (optional).
2. Connect the transmit pair to the terminals marked XMT.
3. Connect the receive pair to the terminals marked RCV.
Use only XMT pair for 2-wire operation.
Connecting the DTE
The rear-panel DTE connector provides interface for data input/output, clock
reference and control signal exchange between ASM-10/8 and the DTE. The DTE
connector is V.24/RS-232, D-type 25-pin female connector. Connector pin
allocations appear in Appendix A.
Connecting the Power
The power is supplied to the ASM-10/8 unit through the 1.5m (5 ft) standard
power cable terminated in a standard 3-prong plug. The cable is provided with the
unit. DC power connection is described in the DC Power Supply Supplement at
the end of the manual.
The integral fuse holder, located above the AC socket, contains two fuses
(0.125A/250V or 0.25A/250V, slow-blow). The upper fuse is spare and can be
used for blown fuse replacement.
The unit has no power switch. Operation starts when the power is applied to
the rear-panel POWER connector.
Before switching on this instrument, the protective earth terminals of this
instrument must be connected to the protective ground conductor of the
power cord. The power plug shall only be inserted in a power outlet provided
with a protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated by
use of an extension cord (power cable) without a protective conductor
(grounding).
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current, as marked on the
ASM-10/8 rear panel, are used for replacement. The use of repaired fuses and
the short-circuiting of the fuse holders is forbidden.
Whenever it is likely that the protection offered by fuses has been impaired,
the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any
unintended operation.
