2.2 Table Mount
When used in an office environment the SIR could be placed on your office desk, next to your
PC, while in a professional environment your SIR would typically be mounted in a rack.
2.3 Connecting your SIR
Despite where you use your SIR and how it is mounted, it is important that you connect it
properly.
2.3.1 Connecting the Protective earth
The SIR features an external Protective Earth (PE) connector. This connection ensures that all
exposed conductive surfaces are at the same electrical potential as the surface of the Earth, to
avoid the risk of electrical shock if a person touches a device in which an insulation fault has
occurred.
In an office environment, you would normally connect the PE to the chassis of you desktop
computer.
Normally all devices mounted in a rack have the PE (when applicable) connected to the frame of
the whole setup. When this scenario applies to you, simply connect the SIR’s PE connector to the
frame of your setup with a conductive wire. The following steps are followed:
- Unscrew the connectors head until you see the complete hole in the
connector.
- Put the stripped part of the conductive wire in the hole.
- Screw the connector head back on. Make sure that the wire is fixed.
- Connect the other side of the wire to the chassis of your computer or
the frame of the rack.
- You could use a DMM (digital multi-meter) to verify that there is indeed
connection between the chassis (rack) and your SIR.
You are not obliged to make this connection. This is an optional connection intended for
extra protection, especially when the device is mounted together with other expensive equipment.
2.3.2 Connecting the Power supply
Plug the power adaptor to the mains outlet (230V~50/60Hz) and then screw the connector to you
SIR radio. In the process we ask that you careful attention to the following instructions:
Never use wet hands when plugging the power adapter in the mains and never remove the
power adapter from the mains with wet hands.
Do not cut or damage the cord of the power adapter; do not place heavy objects on the
cord. This can cause short-circuit, resulting in electrical shocks or even fire.
Pulling the cord can also damage the wire and/or isolation causing electrical shocks or fire.
