1. Introduction

This Quick Start Guide describes a simpliﬁed installation procedure for the

IPS-800/IPS-1600 hardware, which will allow you to communicate with the unit

in order to demonstrate basic features and check for proper operation.

Note that this Quick Start Guide does not provide a detailed description of

unit conﬁguration, or discuss advanced operating features in detail. For more

information, please refer to the IPS-800/1600 User’s Guide (WTI P/N 00000),

which can be found on the CDROM included with this Quick Start Guide.

2. Hardware Installation

Apply Power to the IPS

Refer to power rating nameplate on the IPS back panel, and then connect the

IPS unit to an appropriate power source. The IPS-800 and IPS-1600 should be

connected to a 100 to 115 VAC power supply, and the IPS-800-CE and

IPS-1600-CE should be connected to a 208 to 230 VAC power supply.

Note that the IPS features two separate AC inputs; connect the power cables

(supplied with the unit) to the unit's Circuit “A” and Circuit “B” Power Inlets,

then connect the cables to an appropriate power supply.

Models IPS-800 and IPS-1600 will support up to 15 Amps maximum per power

circuit, for a total of 30 Amps. Models IPS-800-CE and IPS-1600-CE will

support up to 10 Amps maximum per power circuit, for a total of 20 Amps.

Set the Master I/O Switch in the ON position; the ON LED should light, and the

RDY LED should begin to ﬂash. This indicates that the IPS is ready to receive

commands.

Connect your PC to the IPS

The IPS can either be controlled by a local PC, that communicates with the unit

via cable, controlled via external modem, or controlled via TCP/IP network.

In order to switch plugs or select parameters, commands are issued to the IPS

via either the Network Port or Console Port. Note that it is not necessary to

connect to both the Network and Console Ports, and that the Console Port can be

connected to either a local PC or External Modem.

• Network Port: Connect your 10Base-T or 100Base-T network interface to

the IPS Network port.

• Console Port: Use the supplied null modem cable to connect your PC

COM port to the IPS COM (RS232) Port.

• External Modem: Use a standard AT to Modem cable to connect your

external modem to the IPS COM (RS232) Port.
