3.  Installation

3.1  Site Preparation

The Local Mux-6 must be installed within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a grounded AC
outlet.

3.2  Setup

1. Unscrew the two upper cover screws located at the back of the unit 

(refer to 

Figure 3-3

).

2. Slide the rear drawer out.

3. Locate the strap marked “select 6 or 12 channels” (indicated by an arrow

on the circuit board).  For up to 6 channels with no control applications,
place the strap between the center pin, and the one marked “6.”  For any
other applications, place the strap between the center pin and the one
marked “12” (refer to 

Figure 3-1

).

4. Locate the strap marked GND.  According to your requirements, set the

signal ground to be connected to shielding (chassis) ground or floating
(NC).

5. Replace the rear drawer.

6. Fasten the two upper cover screws at the back of the unit.
