3.5 INSTALLING THE CELLULAR SIM CARD INTO THE DA-400™
The DA-400™ is shipped to the customer with no SIM card populating the SIM Card
Holder. To install the SIM card, the rear access plate must be detached from the unit by
removing the (5) screws on the back of the DA-400™ unit. Once removed, the unit will look
like this:
Figure 10. SIM Card Slot - Depopulated.
Figure 11. SIM Card Slot - Populated.
Insert the SIM card into the slot using the orientation shown in the picture. The SIM Card
must be industrial rated to guarantee continuous, uninterrupted operation in a NEMA
Cabinet operating across a wide operating temperature and humidity range.
3.6 CONNECTING A NEMA TS-2 TYPE 2 SDLC TO THE DA-400™
If the DA-400™ is being installed into a NEMA TS-2 Type 2 cabinet, there is additional
information that is relayed to the iCITE G2® software. This is through the SDLC
communications of the TS-2 Type 2 cabinet. If there is an existing spare SDLC cable it can
simply be plugged into the front of the DA-400™. No additional programming in the
controller is necessary. If there is not a spare SDLC cable, one could be installed, or the
DA-400™ could be connected in serial on an existing SDLC connection using the two
provided SDLC connections on the front of the DA-400™ and two SDLC Cables. Prior to
disconnecting the SDLC from the detector BIU, it is advisable to pull the BIU from the rack.
Alternatively, depending on the controller and the capabilities of the installer, you may be
able to “deactivate” the BIU SDLC bus from within the Controller’s programming menu.
