Mounting
The GCG001 may either be panel-mounted or be mounted in the rightmost slot (expansion slot) of an RX3i
rack (IC695CHS012 or IC695CHS016).
Note:
The SD Card supplied with the GCG001 will have been installed at the factory. See
section 2.4.1 for instructions for installing the SD Card when doing a retrofit. The
presence of the SD Card should be checked before mounting the module.
Note:
Clearance of 3 inches (75mm) must be provided above and below the module for proper
ventilation and to permit cable access.
Note:
External power must always be supplied to the module, regardless of which mounting
arrangement is chosen. When rack-mounted, the GCG001 does not draw power from the
RX3i Universal Backplane.
RX3i Backplane Mounting
The GCG001 may be mounted in the rightmost slot
(expansion slot) of an RX3i Universal Backplane.
The two captive M3.5 screws at the rear of the GCG001
align with mating tapped holes on the right side of the
backplane, providing a convenient mounting location.
When rack-mounted, the module does not make contact
with the backplane connector.
Panel-Mounting
Panel-mounting allows for mounting where no RX3i
backplane slot is available. The two captive M3.5 machine
screws on the GCG001 can be used for attaching the unit
to a panel.
Note:
The panel must have a minimum
thickness of 2.4mm (0.094in).
1.
Drill two mounting holes using the spacing
shown in the drawing (at right) and tap for
M3.5 (3.5 x 0.6mm).
2.
Align the two mounting screws of the module
with the mounting holes in the panel.
3.
Using a Philips screwdriver, tighten the two
screws to a maximum torque of 0.5 Nm
(4.4 in-lbs).
