MFC-CB™ Operation and Maintenance Manual
©2001~2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company Page 8
2.2 SITE REQUIREMENTS
Install MFC-CB on any stable surface at a convenient height. The front feet are extendible so that
the unit can be inclined for easier viewing.
MFC-CB can also be mounted in a standard 19-in. rack using the optional rack mount kit
(P/N 401465). For additional information, contact your DHI Sales Representative.
If the MFC-CB will be used with an optional DHI MFC Switchbox, consider placement of the
Switchbox and the connection and disconnection of MFC cables (see Section 3.4.6, Figure 5).
2.3 INITIAL SETUP
2.3.1 PREPARING FOR OPERATION
No special preparation of MFC-CB is required prior to putting it into operation.
Connect the power cord supplied to the MFC-CB and to a power source.
2.3.2 MFC-CB TO MFC OR MFM CONNECTION
Prepare an MFC-CB to MFC or MFM cable using one of the kits provided with the MFC-CB
(see Section 7.2 for information on cable pin out) or
an optional preassembled cable if you
have one.
Connect the MFC-CB to MFC/MFM cable to the DEV1 or DEV2 25 pin DSUB connection on
the MFC-CB rear panel.
If you are using an optional MFC Switchbox, connect the Switchbox to the DEV1 or DEV2
MFC-CB rear panel connection and then connect the MFC or MFM to the MFC Switchbox (see
the MFC Switchbox User’s Manual and Section 3.4.6, Figure 5).
2.4 POWER UP AND VERIFICATION
2.4.1 POWER UP
Turn ON the MFC-CB rear panel main power switch. Observe the front panel display as
MFC-CB initializes, error checks and goes to the MAIN run screen (see Section 3.1.1).
The front panel ON/OFF key controls a SOFT ON/OFF (see Section 3.1.2.3). This allows
MFC-CB’s front panel to be turned off while maintaining the power supply to devices that are
connected to it.
If the MFC-CB fails to reach the MAIN run screen, service may be required. Record the
sequence of operations and displays observed and contact a DHI Authorized Service Provider.
