Installing a Protection Mounting Frame
The FAC 900 copper line protection system allows you to expand line capacity incrementally. Protection blocks are housed
in a mounting frame that installs on a 23-inch rack. Each mounting frame holds up to eight 50-pair protection blocks. You
can field-install protection mounting frames to expand system capacity. The protection system resides in the cabinet and/or
EXM.
To install an 8 position 50-pair protection mounting frame
Unpack the protection mounting frame from its packaging.
Verify that two ground wires are connected to the mounting frame. Install the ground wires if necessary.
Install the protection mounting frame on the rack as follows.
a.
Turn the (2) knobs on the frame counter-clockwise (to the latch's disengaged position).
b.
Position the frame against the rack, oriented with the hinge on the right side.
Note:
To correctly align the frame for mounting, the hinge must align with mounting holes on the right rack, and
the alignment pin on the left side must insert into a mounting hole on the left rack.
c.
When the mounting frame is aligned correctly, secure the hinge side to the right rack using (4) self-tapping
screws.
d.
While holding the swing frame closed against the rack, turn the (2) knobs clockwise to engage the latch,
thereby securing it in the closed position.
Route the two frame ground wires to the main ground bar. Attach the ground wire lugs to an open position on the main
ground bar or subground bar per PANI guidelines. Refer to Installing the
Cabinet Ground Connection
for more information.
