3.5.2 MOBILE STAND AND CABLING
Analogue Camera Model:
Three of the cables (8-way, 25-way and video) for use with a moorLDI2-MS2 mobile stand are in a
corrugated sleeve. This wiring loom is shipped in the THB transformer housing box. At one end the
leads are short and of similar length (Figure 3C). This end is connected to the scan head. Connector
sockets are protected by the hand-grip at the rear of the scan head and the cable positions are
indicated on the back panel label: Port 1 (multi-way cable) is at the top, video is lower left and Port 2
is lower right (see Figure 3C). Connect these cables securely and replace the cover/handle (4 screws).
At the other end of the corrugated sleeve, connect the two shorter leads (Port 1 and Port 2) to the
control box (Figure 3B) inside the transformer housing box and loop the video lead back out of the
box with the PC mains lead and RS232 (COM1) lead.
The RS232 and mains leads are also connected to the rear of the moorLDI2-CB control box (Figure
3B).
Route the video, RS232 and mains cables through the PC supports as described in the
moorLDI2-MS2 assembly instruction manual.
Connect the RS232 lead to COM1 port on the PC, the video cable to the video input socket and the
mains cable to the mains electric socket (Figure 3D).
An extra mains electric cable will be required if a printer is attached to the moorLDI2 system. This is
powered from the distribution board within the Transformer Housing Box (THB).
Secure all connections and replace the lid of the THB taking care not to pinch cables emerging from
the semi-circular slot.
Firewire Camera Model:
Three of the cables (8-way, 25-way and video) for use with a moorLDI2-MS2 mobile stand are in a
corrugated sleeve. This wiring loom is shipped in the THB transformer housing box. At one end the
leads are short and of similar length (Figure 3G). This end is connected to the scan head. Connector
sockets are protected by the hand-grip at the rear of the scan head and the cable positions are
indicated on the back panel label: Port 1 (multi-way cable) is at the top, video is lower left and Port 2
is lower right (see Figure 3G).
Connect these cables securely and replace the cover/handle (4 screws).
At the other end of the corrugated sleeve, connect the three leads (Port 1, Port 2, and Video) to the
control box (Figure 3F) inside the transformer housing box.
Connect the Firewire cable, RS232 lead, and mains lead to the control box (Figure 3F) and loop these
leads out of the box.
Route the Firewire, RS232 and mains cables through the PC supports as described in the
moorLDI2-MS2 assembly instruction manual.
