Final Steps Communication Connections
WARNING:
Do not energize the cabinet or any component with battery voltage until after the
installation is complete.
Look at the system drawing and the physical facility and determine how the fiber optic
and power cables must be situated. If a cabinet is used, pass the AC power cord for the
power strip mounted inside the cabinet through the lower left hole and plug it into a
UPS–protected outlet after installation is complete.
NOTE:
The electrical service required is less than 10 amps at 115VAC or 5A at 230VAC.
When using an internally mounted Uninterruptible Power Supply/UPS, plug the power strip AC
cord into the UPS and plug it into an AC outlet after installation is complete. If using an optional
UPS, install it near the bottom of the rack.
Optionally, if using a cabinet, pass conduit through the lower left hole and mount an outlet box
inside the cabinet. This must be done by a qualified electrician and meet NEC requirements.
Install the remaining components as follows. Refer to the drawings provided with the system.
WARNING:
The BDS system is designed to connect to UPS systems that are 600VDC or less and a
maximum of 300V with respect to earth ground. The user must verify the voltage with
respect to earth ground before connecting the system. Do this by measuring the voltage
from each battery post referenced to earth ground. The voltage cannot exceed 300V.
♦ Install the computer monitor on top of the cabinet or the highest shelf to be used.
Connect the power cord to the power strip.
♦ Install the computer/PC on the shelf below the video display.
Connect the power cord to the power strip.
Connect the monitor to the computer.
♦ Install the keyboard in the keyboard drawer and connect it to the computer.
♦ Connect an RS–232 cable (one to one) from the computer to the rear panel of the BDS–
40 Base Unit.
9.2 Use With No Local Computer
If not using a local computer and cabinet, install the BDS–40 Base Unit as follows.
♦ Provide UPS–protected AC power to the location where each Base Unit will be installed.
Connect the AC power cord to the UPS protected outlet.
♦ If using a modem to dial out, connect the phone line to the RJ–11 jack on the rear panel.
Use a minimum 26AWG TELCO line cord.
♦ If connecting to a LAN, connect the customer–supplied network cable to the RJ–45
connector.
