3.3 - Basic Setup

To perform a basic PTU setup and

installation:

1. Mount the PTU securely to a lab bench, tripod, or other

stable platform. Verify that there is enough clearance

around the unit. See “Mounting the Unit” on page 15

for detailed mounting instructions.

2. Attach either the optional breakout cable or customer-

supplied cable to the 26-pin connector at the base of

the PTU by inserting the cable into the connector and

then tightening the mounting screws (one each on the

left and right sides of the connector).

CAUTION: DISCONNECTING THE CABLE WHILE THE PTU IS POWERED ON CAN

DAMAGE THE UNIT. ALWAYS POWER DOWN THE PTU BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE

CABLE.
