SECTION 4. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains installation instructions for the GARD 8000, including unpacking, mounting, and
interconnection wiring. Refer to Table 4-9 for a list of modules used in the GARD 8000. Located at
the end of the Installation Section are procedures for commissioning various modules in the GARD
System.
4.2 UNPACKING
The GARD 8000 equipment may be supplied as individual chassis or may be interconnected with other
chassis or assemblies as part of a system. Paragraph 4.2.1 provides unpacking instructions for
individual chassis, and paragraph 4.2.2 provides unpacking instructions for interconnected chassis.
4.2.1 INDIVIDUAL CHASSIS
GARD 8000 terminals supplied as individual chassis are packed in their own shipping cartons:
1. Open each carton carefully to make sure the equipment is not damaged.
2. After the chassis is removed from the carton, carefully examine all packing material to make
sure no items of value are discarded.
3. Carefully remove any packing materials inserted into the chassis to hold circuit cards in place
during transit.
4. Make sure all modules are fully seated in the chassis. The machine screws securing all I/O modules
to the rear of the chassis should be fully tightened.
If you notice any signs of shipping damage, immediately notify RFL Customer Service at the phone
number at the bottom of this page. Save all the packing material and the shipping carton, in case a
damage claim needs to be filed with the shipping company that delivered the unit.
Note
Care should be taken when connecting individual modules to the mid-plane in either the
3U or 6U chassis. It is possible to damage the connecting pins if excessive force is used.
