12  Installation 

12.1      General 

The 6QBI takes up less than half the space of a 6CPP6 panel, and can generally be 
mounted wherever a 6CPP6 was mounted in the RTU cabinet.  

The 6QBI and 6CPP6 swage-on standoffs located along the Analog/Status/Control 
ribbon cable board edge are in the same locations, and accept the same mounting 
hardware (6-32 screws). Depending on the desired installation, it is possible to 
mount a 6QBI in the same location using the same cabinet or panel as was used for 
the previous 6CPP6 it replaces.   

Likewise, the connectors for input power (J8), +30V relay power (J9) and ribbon 
cable interfaces to the Analogs (J7), Statuses (J6) and Controls (J5) are in practically 
identical locations on both the 6QBI and 6CPP6 boards. This can eliminate the need 
for replacing cables in the RTU cabinet (due to need for extra length).  

12.2       Typical Installation Examples 

The illustrations below show typical scenarios for upgrading a 6CPP6 to a 
MicroPAQ-940P, ePAQ-9410, ePAQ-942x:
