Establishing Suitable Environmental Conditions for the System
Place KSU1 (and KSU2 if applicable) within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of an isolated, dedicated, 105-
225VAC, 57-63Hz, 15A, single-phase commercial power source. This must be an isolated, dedi-
cated AC circuit for proper operation. All three wires (power, neutral, and ground) must be run sep-
arately from the outlet to the breaker panel without being bonded to any other wire or circuit. Do
not plug any other equipment into this outlet. To maintain the protection provided by the isolated,
dedicated circuit, the length of the AC power cord limits the distance between the KSU and the
outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
To protect the system from lightning damage or other AC power line disturbances, a surge protec-
tor should be installed.
Select the KSU location to minimize cable run length. Terminal Equipment connected to the sys-
tem must not exceed specified limits (see Specifications).
The location selected should not expose the KSU to direct sunlight, high humidity, heat, dust, or
strong magnetic fields (such as those generated by heavy motors, copy machines and some
kitchen appliances). The
Emerald ICE system must be installed in a climate controlled environ-
ment. When equipped with optional voice processing equipment, the system takes on the charac-
teristics of a mechanically driven computing storage device. (A computer with a hard disk drive.)
This equipment cannot function in environments above 95 degrees Fahrenheit ambient tempera-
ture.
The MDF should consist of a 3/4-inch plywood TMB (Telephone Mounting Board) large enough to
mount all hardware and equipment allowing all components ample space for adequate ventilation
and servicing. Allow additional room for external apparatus, if used.
For cooling purposes, ample air space of 10cm (4”) at the top, bottom, left and right sides should
be provided for each KSU.
SMDR/SMDA output device(s) must be placed within 50 feet (15 meters) of the KSU (limited by
RS-232C standard wiring practices).
The computing equipment should be located in a climate-controlled room adhering to the Environ-
mental Specifications (see: “Specifications”).
When installing the KSU and station instruments, allow a sufficient margin for error in case of air
conditioning failure, routine maintenance, plant shutdown, etc. As a general rule, if conditions are
suitable for office personnel, they are also suitable for the KSU computing device and terminal
equipment operation. A properly controlled environment will help to extend the operating life of the
equipment.
