C2IR-8
2-Series IR/Serial Output Expansion Card
Setup
Installation
Items required to install the C2IR-8 are already attached to the unit. The only tools
required are a Phillips screwdriver and a grounding strap. Follow the assembly
procedure below.
CAUTION:
The C2IR-8 contains electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD); observe
precautions for handling ESDs to avoid damaging the card.
NOTE:
If installing the C2IR-8 into an AV2, it is assumed that CAGE2 has been
installed.
1. Disconnect power from the control system.
2. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove two screws and blank faceplate
from the desired slot in the control system.
3. Align the C2IR-8 with the card guides in the open slot and slide the
expansion card into position.
4. Firmly press both ends of the C2IR-8 faceplate to seat the expansion
card into the control system connector.
5. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the C2IR-8 to the control system.
6. Reapply power to the control system.
Preparation for Use
Connections are made to the eight serial outputs for IR, one-way RS-232, Control-S,
or other serial interface. Each output is labeled S (signal) and G (ground). Refer to
the sample hookup diagram below and, aside from reapplying power to the control
system last, complete the connections in any order.
