Assembly
The Motherboard itself requires no assembly. It has been previously assembled and tested with
the signal conditioner cards at the factory. It is ready for use out of the box.
Power
The Motherboard is powered by a specialized external power
supply which provides both 5 VDC and 12 VDC to the unit.
Each Motherboard is shipped with this special supply. The
Motherboard has no On/Off switch and the power supply acts
as the switch. The power supply plugs into house current on
the input side and into the 5-pin DIN connector on the rear
panel of the Motherboard on the output side. A keyway
insures proper mating of the male and female DIN connectors.
Power supplies are shipped with either an ‘American’ wall
adapter (ELPAC WM063-1950) or a ‘EURO(pean)’ wall
adapter (ELPAC MED113TT).
LED
The Motherboard has a green LED indicator on its front panel. The LED illuminates when
power is applied.
