POWER
IEC connectors are used to supply power to the router frames, external PSU’s, and
panels. Each connector has an earth pin and as matter of safety this earth pin must be
connected to a solid ground to ensure a proper earth connection.
Q1602E models use an external PSU and therefore the router chassis metalwork will not
be directly connected to earth. A separate chassis earth point is provided for users that
require equipment to be earthed.
All power cords are supplied with a mains plug suitable for the country of use (where
known). Should it be necessary to change the mains plug please wire the plug using the
colour code below:
Brown
Live (Line or Phase)
Blue Neutral
(Return)
Green/Yellow
Earth
(Ground)
There is no power switch on the unit so it is essential that the power cord be removed
before commencing to service the unit.
SETTING THE POWER LINE VOLTAGE
On units with no voltage selector the PSU is auto-ranging and no adjustments are
required.
SETTING THE Q1602E PSU LINK
On Q1602E models the internal ‘PSU’s Fitted’ link must be set to match the number of
external PSU’s connected, either 1 (main) or 2 (main plus backup).
The ‘PSU’s Fitted’ link controls the action of the PSU Status LED and the Front Panel
power on LED and is located on the front of the right hand internal voltage converter
module. If the ‘PSU’s Fitted’ link is set to position ‘1’ then the front panel LED will be on
(Green) when power is applied. If the link is set to position ‘2’ then the LED will be on
when both external PSU’s are connected and powered up, and flashing if one fails.
CONFIGURING THE FRAMES

The router can be altered to set up the system to suit a customer’s particular
requirement. This section describes how this is done. In summary, the links have the
following functions.
