4.3 Input Module Installation
The MCU system supplied by Status Scientific Controls will normally be delivered correctly
configured for the detector heads that have been purchased. If an existing MCU system requires
the addition of a monitoring channel, a kit of parts can be purchased from Status Scientific
Controls. This includes:
Input Module
Terminal identification label.
Fitting Hardware (i.e. hex spacers, screws, washers etc…)
Tools Required:
5mm A/F Spanner Flat blade screwdriver
Install the input module as follows:
1. Switch OFF the power supply to the MCU system.
2. Locate the position within the control unit for the new channel. Unscrew the two
knurled black thumbscrews that retain the grey protective cover.
3. Remove the two hexagonal spacers and associated washers that are revealed
beneath the cover.
4. Locate the new input module over the protruding studs (at the appropriate position
within the control unit) taking care to align the pins of the motherboard header plug
with the corresponding circuit board sockets.
5. Fit the M3x8 screws with shakeproof washers into the two holes at the front of the
circuit board. Place a shakeproof washer onto each of the studs that protrude
through the input module. Replace the hex pillars onto the studs.
6. Take the transparent terminal identification label and attach it to the sloping front
edge of grey protective cover (refer to input modules already installed for correct
mounting position).
7. Configure the input module jumper switches for the detector head that is to be
attached.
8. Refit the grey protective cover locating the black thumbscrew threads into the top of
the hex pillars.
9. Connect the detector head to the output terminals of the input module following the
appropriate installation diagrams (see section 3.3.1Error! Reference source not
found.).
10. Calibrate the new channel.
When wiring to the input module connector, the use of bootlace ferrules is highly recommended.
