2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Mechanical installation
The GI51 should be mounted with regard to the environmental
protection and temperature range of the unit, and should not be
installed in area exposed for heavy vibrations.
Make allowances for working area around the unit when routing
or removing the cables.
Fasten the GI51 to the bulkhead. Refer mechanical drawing,
page 17.
2.2 Cabling
All cable conductors are terminated in screw terminals on the
GI51 pcb.
Connect equipment according to the block diagram on page 2,
and to
Terminal description
, page 10 onwards.
To make a good ground connection, strip about 1 cm
(0.4”) off the cable’s insulation and pull the screen
backwards to cover the insulation. Position the straps as
shown in the figure. Tighten well to make sure the screen
makes good contact.
This will also avoid vibration causing the cables to loose
connection.
Note!
Be careful not to drop screen cuts over the components!
