Chapter 3 - System Installation
Introduction
As with any sophisticated communications device, installation of the XTS requires the care
and forethought of a competent technician. To assure easy servicing and reliable operation,
several factors must be considered when planning the system installation. The installation
consists of these major steps:
†
Site Preparation
†
KSU and Power Supply (PS) Installation
†
PCB Installation
†
System Wiring
†
Keyset and Terminal Installation
†
System Programming and Verification
Installing the XTS is quick and efficient if these installation instructions are followed.
Site Preparation
General Site Considerations
The first step is to locate an acceptable site for the common equipment (KSU, boards, etc.).
When locating a mounting site for the KSU, the following points must be considered.
Wall Mounting -- The KSU is designed for wall mounting and should not be mounted
directly to a masonry or plasterboard wall. It is recommended that a 1/2 inch plywood back
board be firmly mounted to the wall, and the KSU and main distribution frame be mounted
to the back board.
Rack Mounting -- The KSU is also designed for rack mounting using the optional floor or
cabinet-model rack. If using the rack mounting option, ensure the location for the unit is on a
flat flooring area.
Dedicated Access -- The location must have access to a dedicated 120 Volt AC (±10%), 60 Hz,
single-phase circuit with a circuit breaker or fuse rated at 15 amps. A 3-wire (parallel blade
grounded outlet should be within approximately 6 feet of the lower left rear of the Cabinet 0
mounting.
Grounding -- The location must have access to a good earth ground, such as a metallic cold
water pipe with no non-metallic joints. The ground source should be located as close as
possible to the system.
Ventilation -- The system should be located in an area which is well ventilated with a
recommended temperature range of 68°-78° F and a relative humidity range of 5-60%
(non-condensing).
Distance Parameters -- The system should be located within 25 feet of the telephone
company’s termination point. Also, the location should be within the prescribed station loop
lengths for all keysets and terminals. If existing cabling is to be used, the location of existing
cabling and conduits should be considered.
