If a mains plug is not already fitted to the supply cord, or is of the wrong type, then a suitable EARTHED plug
should be used which complies with the relevant specifications for plugs and socket-outlets.
The mains supply fuse is a 20x5
mm
, type T0.5A, 250V. It is not to be replaced by the operator. If the fuse
blows it is an indication of some significant problem with the power source. Check the supply and wiring
carefully. Before replacing the fuse, the cabinet must first be disconnected from the supply by the removal of
the IEC socket from the inlet. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the mains
supply.
NOTE:
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
2.3 Transducer Connections
Figure 1.2 shows the connection sockets at the back of the DPG2000. The DPG2000 is designed for use
with Newall’s Spherosyn and Microsyn transducers only. The transducers are connected to the DPG2000
with Bleecon type connectors. These connectors have a sliding sleeve that locks the connectors into their
sockets.
Switch off the DPG2000 before connecting, or disconnecting the transducers. To fit the connectors into the
appropriate socket at the back of the cabinet, first align the connector and then push firmly in place. You
should hear a click confirming that the locking sleeve has engaged. To remove the connector, pull back on
the connector sleeve to disengage the locking mechanism.
The transducers and digital readouts are connected at a separated extra low voltage (SELV) level. Any
additional interconnections must also be at SELV level.
2.4 Switching On
The mains supply switch for the DPG2000 is mounted on the back of the cabinet as shown in Figure 1.2.
When you switch on the DPG2000 the cabinet will automatically go through a brief self diagnostic routine.
During this routine, the name DPG2000 will be shown, then the software version number will be displayed
and finally, all segments of the displays will be lit.
After this routine, the DPG2000 is ready for use.
