If the SLICE Distributor is operating normally, the next step is to add the DAS. DTS suggests
always using the connection sequence below to avoid possible damage from hot swapping
the cables.
1. With the unit off and power
not
connected, connect the SLICE DAS to the SLICE
system connectors.
2. Connect the SLICE Distributor
’s power source to the SYS connector.
3. When the status LED is green, turn on the SLICE Distributor.
–
When the status LED is solid blue (normal operating mode), then inspect the LED
indicators on the SLICE DAS for system health.
–
If the status LED is red, this can mean input voltage is too high or overcurrent
condition is present. You will need to correct this before proceeding.
4. Connect the Ethernet comm cable from the SYS connector to your PC.
If at any time the status LED indicator shows an error or fault condition, you will need to
correct this before proceeding. (The LED is an indicator of SLICE Distributor status only; it
does not indicate the status of any attached equipment.) A fault signal generated by the
SLICE Distributor or SLICE DAS is forwarded externally via the AUX and SYS connectors
and will prevent you from arming your system. When the DAS is recording data, the status
signal from the AUX and SYS connectors will be high; the status signal will be low for all
other states where the DAS is on and connected to the SLICE Distributor.
