SHIPPING INSPECTION 

 
 

 

Remove from shipping container and inspect for shipping 

damage. The ACE472 is a Slide-in Card that fits into the RMS-400 
Mainframe and Power Supply. The card is supplied with a retaining screw 
(attached to the PC Board), a Front Label Designator and this 
instruction book. If an RMS-400 Mainframe and Power Supply was purchased 
with a ACE472 Card, the Card will be installed at the factory into the 
Mainframe with labels attached and the retaining screw engaged and 
locked. 

 
HOW AND WHERE TO MOUNT THE UNIT 

 
 

 

Select a position for the RMS-400 that is near the video 

recorder, monitor or other equipment that needs video control. The 
placement is not critical. Then install the ACE472 PC CARD in any unused 
CARD SLOT that is empty. Follow the instructions for card installation, 
be sure to remove the retaining screw on the front of the card and not 
to apply excessive force to the card during installation. 
 

 

MODULE CARD INSTALLATION 

 
1. 

Select one of the un-used nine positions to be occupied by the new 
circuit board module. 

 
2. 

Remove the blank label in that position by peeling it off of the 
front panel. Peel the label slowly to remove all of the label and 
adhesive. Any remaining adhesive may be removed by rubbing the 
surface with your thumb. WARNING: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS TO REMOVE THE 
LABEL ADHESIVE. The solvent could damage the equipment cards or 
cause a fire. 

 
3. 

Peel the backing off of the new label and apply it to the front 
panel of the RMS-400 rack in the position of the new card. Align 
the new label with the screw head in the hole in the lower right 
hand corner of the label, then align the center thumbscrew with the 
clearance hole in the front panel. This should cause the label to 
be straight and vertical. When the label is in place press firmly 
the secure the label.  

 
4. 

Then remove the thumb-screw retainer from the product card, it is 
located at the front of the card and is removed by rotating the 
knob counter-clock-wise. 

 
5. 

Select any and all product options on the specific card. 

 
6. 

Next slide the card into the card guides at the rear of the RMS-
400. Be sure that the notch in the circuit card is facing forward 
and down. Push the card all the way to the front of the rack until 
it stops. DO NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE CARD. 

 
7. 

 

Insert the thumb-screw that was removed in step 4 while 

rotating it in a clock-wise direction. When it begins to thread 
into the card, continue until it is finger tight. CAUTION TIGHTEN 
BY HAND ONLY, DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN THE THUMB-SCREW. OVER 
TIGHTENING WILL DAMAGE THE CIRCUIT CARD.
