UNPACKING THE MSC-10 

13. 

       Remove the MSC-10 from its shipping box and ensure that all 

components are intact.  The following items should be included with a new 
MSC-10 computer: 

a)       MSC-10 computer unit; 

b)      MSC-10 Installation and User’s Guide; 

c)      Configuration document package which includes wiring diagrams 

and control settings particular to your setup. 

INSTALLATION 

14.        

Probes and Modules.  

 Install the temperature sensor probes and 

control modules supplied with your configuration (see the wiring diagrams of 
the configuration document). 

15.        

Initial Setup.

   The  MSC-10 computer has top and bottom mounting 

holes (see Figure 2-3).  Remove the screws ( see Figure 2-4 (1)) securing the 
front panel (2) and the screws securing the lower access plate.  Install the 
MSC-10 computer on a wall or suitable area and secure it with attaching 
hardware and perform the following: 

a)       Ensure the ribbon cable (3) is properly connected. 

b)     Connect the cable wiring of each control module and sensor probe 

to the terminal blocks (see Figure 2-5) of the MSC-10.  The wiring 
connections are shown in the wiring diagram provided with the 
configuration document. 

NOTE 

               Ensure the line voltage switch is correctly set. 

c)       Install the front panel (see Figure 2-4 (2)) and the lower access plate 

on the enclosure and secure them with their attaching screws. 

d)     If upgrading your system to a new configuration, cut out the 

faceplate labels (4) and (5) supplied with the configuration 
document and install them in the front panel.
