INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
UNPACKING
Please inspect all material thoroughly upon arrival. Axcera certifies that upon leaving
our facility the equipment was undamaged and in proper working order. The shipping
container should be inspected for obvious damage indicative of rough handling.
Remove the unit(s) from the shipping container and inspect for damage. Check for
dents, and scratches, or a broken switch, meter or connector. Remove the top cover of
the unit and again inspect for shipping damage. Extract all packing material from
inside and around the unit. Check for loose hardware and connectors, retighten if
needed. Any claims against in-transit damage should be directed to the carrier. Save
all packing material in case it is needed in the future.
INSTALLATION OF TRAY(S)
Units are shipped with chassis slides mounted to the each side. Included in the
Installation Material Kit are two cabinet mount slide assemblies that will be
mounted in the rack. Install the Tray slides into the cabinet. Refer to the "Cabinet
Mounting Instructions Slides Drawing" which follows, for detailed instructions.
Slide the unit into the cabinet. If it does not slide in and out smoothly, some
adjustment is necessary. Pull out the unit (only enough for clearance) and loosen
the hardware holding the cable slides to the cabinet. Move the front of the Tray up
or down or side to side to remove the rubbing. Retighten the hardware after the
adjustment is complete.
Also included with the unit is a cable retractor assembly which consists of two
parts, a cabinet mount retractor and a tray mount retractor.
The cabinet mount retractor has a long aluminum channel hinged to a
mounting piece with two bolts. This is mounted to the rear of the left hand,
facing the front of the unit, cabinet mount slide assembly.
The retractor is a short aluminum channel hinged to a slide mount. This piece
slides into a receptacle mounted to the rear panel of the unit.
These cable retractors work together to move the wire harness and coaxial cables in
and out with the movement of the unit to avoid pinched wires.
After the units(s) are physically in place, the process of interfacing them into the
system begins by making connections to the back of the units.
