Chapter 2: Installation
Installing the Nova73
Mounting the Front Modules
Warning
The Nova73 plug-in modules carry highly sensitive electronic components, and therefore should only be
handled by authorized personnel, and with the utmost care.
ALWAYS observe the following procedures:
1. Discharge yourself before touching a plug-in module.
2. Wear conductive safety-shoes and grounding wristbands to reduce the risk of electrostatic charging.
3. DO NOT bend the modules.
4. Make sure that all rear connector panels are mounted before inserting the respective plug-in module.
5. To remove an existing module, unfasten the front panel screws, release the locking catches (as shown
below) and pull out the module.
Some modules include DIP switches to set certain features. Therefore, check the DIP switch settings before
inserting a replacement! Further information can be found in the data sheet, available in the
"
mc2_Nova73_documentation " guide.
6. When fitting a module, make sure that it glides smoothly into the top and bottom guide-rails:
When fitted correctly, it will lock into place.
7. ALWAYS fasten the front panel screws in order to fix the module in place. This protects the operator from
contact with live parts; protects the module from being pulled out unintentionally; and reduces the emission of
electro-magnetic radiation.
Tighten the screws carefully to a maximum torque of 0.25 Nm; we recommend using a dynamometric screwdriver.
8. When you have fitted all the plug-in modules for your system, close any empty slots with dummy plates.
