4 - Installing the TAS250
Important:
Make sure that the local telephone company has been notified that you will be installing communication
equipment.
4.1 Preparing to Install the TAS250
A visual inspection should be made when unpacking the TAS250. Any missing item/part or damaged component
should be reported immediately.
Stay away from electrical or communication devices
The TAS250 has been designed to be mounted indoor or outdoor. The cabinet is large enough to accommodate the
backup battery and the necessary wiring connections for most applications. Four (4) EMT (Electrical Metallic
Tubing) conduit knockouts (1.9 cm (0.75 in)) are provided. The location should be easily accessible for servicing
the equipment. The TAS250 must be located at a minimum distance of 2 m (6 ft) from any high voltage equipment or
wiring and from electrical equipment susceptible of generating electrical interference and at a minimum of 8 m (25
ft) from any transmitting equipment.
4.2 Installation
STEP 1: Unpacking the TAS250
Check that the following parts are in your TAS250 package when you unpack it:
•
FAAC Telephone Access System (TAS250)
•
EntraPass software CD-ROM, version 4.02 or higher
•
Installation Manual, English and French version
•
Programming Manual, English and French version
Any missing item/part or damaged component should be reported immediately.
Note 1:
The 12 VDC backup battery and the ground clamp are not included.
Note 2:
Make sure you have adequate sealant (not included).
STEP 2:
Applying Sealant on the Back of the
TAS250
Sealant must be applied on each of the four mounting holes
when the TAS250 is installed
outside
in order to avoid water
infiltration. Also, apply sealant around any knockout that will
be removed.
Important:
Be careful not to apply sealant on the four (4)
draining holes at the bottom of the TAS250.
