INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
XCARD
1-ZONE PCB CARD FOR THE EXP9
The Xantech XCARD is an individual zone PCB card for use in the EXP9 Zone
Expander. It allows field expansion to more zones if the EXP9 was initially
bought with less than the full 9 cards factory installed (i.e. the client later requests
more zones). The XCARD can also be used as a field replacement for the zone
cards in both the ZPR68-10 and the EXP9.
To install the XCARD(s), proceed as follows:
1. If the EXP9 is connected to a ZPR68-10 with the ribbon cables, unplug the
ribbon cables at the EXP9 end.
2. Be sure the EXP9 is
not
powered (unplug the power supply from the EXP9).
3. Remove the top cover by removing the five screws on each end of the EXP9
and the screw just under the Video jacks on each of the existing Zone
Outputs. Carefully lift the cover off.
4. Remove the screws that secure the cover plates of the unused zone slots
where you wish to insert the zone XCARD(s). Discard the unused plates.
CAUTION:
The zone XCARD(s) can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
It is recommended that you use a grounded antistatic wrist band when you
are handling and inserting the XCARD(s).
WARNING:
Damage caused by electrostatic discharge is not covered under
the Xantech warranty!
5. Remove the new XCARD(s) from their packaging and carefully insert them
into the desired slots on the main PCB.
Be sure to accurately align the pins on the XCARD(s) to the pin holes on the
slot connector. Refer to a previously installed card for orientation and
placement.
Exert an even downward pressure until the card(s) are fully seated.
6. Reassemble the top cover onto the unit.
Be sure to carefully align the holes in the top cover with the jacks and the
LEDs on all the PCB's before pressing it down into place and replacing the
screws.
