Mechanical Installation
1. Remove the components from Box 1 and arrange them on a surface near the mounting location.
2. Remove and discard the red shipping knobs attached to the patch panel assembly. The knobs are used only for
factory packaging and must be removed prior to installation.
3. Using a level, position the installation template where the assembly is to be mounted. Provide at least 14" (36cm)
clearance from the bottom edge of the mounting bracket (which is the first component of the assembly to be
installed) to accommodate the entire assembly. Temporarily tape the template to the wall.
4. Using the template, carefully mark the drill points on the mounting surface. Make sure that the drill points are
positioned where there are no obstructions behind the wall surface. Remove the template and drill the holes for the
supplied hardware.
5. Depending on the wall type, secure the mounting bracket using the four bolts or screws provided. Secure the
mounting bracket using the four bolts or screws provided (see Drawing 1, Page 7).
6. Position the patch panel such that the screw holes in the mounting bracket’s two lower mounting hooks are aligned
exactly with the two corresponding holes on the patch panel assembly. Install the two M4x6 flathead screws using a
Phillips head screwdriver (see Drawing 2, Page 8).
7. Insert cable tie-wrap clips into the desired holes on the cable management bracket. Secure the cable management
bracket to a surface near the patch panel assembly. Attach system cables to the appropriate patch panel connectors.
Arrange cables in manageable groupings and secure the groups to the cable management bracket by means of tie
wraps looped through the tie wrap clip slots (see Drawing 3, Page 9).
Completion of the assembly requires connection of the transformer with AC line cord, and attachment of the Main
Electronics Unit.
8. Remove the hardware from Box 2. Connect the transformer cable to the the female power connector on the patch
panel as shown in Drawing 4, Page 10. Then connect the cable to the AC power outlet.
Note that to exercise sound practice, it is recommended that the MegaPower 48+ system and critical system
components be connected to an uninterruptible power supply to insure continuous operation during limited power
outages. The system so equipped will meet or exceed the requirements of EN 50130-4.
9. Fit the Main Electronics Unit on the patch panel assembly’s three guide hooks (see Drawing 5, Page 11).
10. Push upwards, with even pressure on the two lower corners of the Main Electronics Unit, until the unit mates
securely with the patch panel receptacles, and a distinct click is heard when the locking pins engage.
The main electronics unit can be disengaged from the patch panel assembly by pressing the two side triggers and
pulling to the side and down simultaneously, alternately moving from left to right, in three or four short, gentle,
movements.
11. When the Main Electronics Unit is connected, the system will start.
Start Up Diagnostics
When the Main Electronics Unit is connected with power applied, normal operation is indicated by the following:
• The ventilation fan is audible.
• The AC power LED (sine wave icon) in the upper right-hand section of the
patch panel illuminates.
• The UOP LED (heartbeat icon) blinks.
Note
The four yellow LEDs beneath the AC power LED are not operative with this version
of the system.
If normal operation is indicated, call a monitor with a system keyboard, and then call a camera to the called monitor.
If the event of absent or abnormal diagnostic signals, power the system down and re-check system connections. If
necessary, consult
Troubleshooting on page 55.
