1. Prepare an assembly area. Modules are 3 or 6 ft. (1 or 2 meter)
long, so a flat surface with enough space to assemble the
complete array is required. Cover the assembly area with a
heavy cloth or some other soft material to prevent damaging the
finish on the cabinets while assembling them. Avoid resting the
modules on their grille. The modules are heavy and may deform
the grille. Instead, rest the modules on their sides or back.
2. Place the modules in their respective positions in the assembly
area.
3. Note: If you purchased IC8-RN modules in the past and now
want to turn them into larger arrays by purchasing IC8-RS Aux
modules, all the modules must have the same Firmware version.
Contact RH Technical Support for firmware updates.
4. Before proceeding any further carefully check to make sure
none of the modules are connected to AC mains power.
If they are, disconnect them. Removing a module’s top
plate exposes terminals that carry AC power between the
modules and poses a shock hazard if the unit is connected
to the AC power line.
5. Remove the top of the lower module and the bottom of the top
module, and the tops and bottoms of any intermediate modules
and their mounting brackets.
6. To remove an end cap, remove the eight #3 Phillips machine
screws from each side of the cabinet and lift the end cap and
its mounting brackets out of the cabinet. It may be necessary to
loosen the top hex bolts.
7. Use the same eight #3 Phillips machine screws to install the two
heavy joining plates. The joining plates will be packed with the
hardware. Leave the screws loose. The joining plates need to be
a little loose to slide easily into the other cabinet. Align the two
modules to be joined on a tabletop or on the floor so that the top
of the lower one and the bottom of the upper one are close to
one another, about 4 in. (10 cm) apart.
8. There are only two connections to be made between Gen 5
Iconyx modules. An RJ45 connection that carries control data
& audio and a locking power connector. Each only fits one way
in its socket. Make sure the connectors are fully seated with
their locking tabs in place. If necessary, use a flashlight to check
because if the connectors are not seated properly, you may have
to disassemble the column again in order to reseat them.
9. Align the two modules and slide them together, making sure
the holes in the heavy joining plates align with the holes in the
modules and that the cables do not get pinched. Install the
remaining screws into the joining plates and tighten all the
screws. The assembly is now complete.
