XX017-01-00 Rev 702 V1400X-IDL Intelligent Distribution Line Control
Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
All Vicon equipment is tested and inspected before leaving the factory. It is the carrier’s responsibility to
provide suitable delivery. Inspect the cartons upon delivery and, if damage is present, make detailed notes on
the carrier’s bill. Then, obtain the carrier agent’s signature and file a damage claim as soon as possible.
Open the cartons and inspect the equipment for damage. Save the cartons and packing material. If damage is
present, contact the carrier and file a damage claim immediately. If the equipment must be returned to Vicon
for repair, follow the instructions in the Shipping Information Section of this manual.
Physical Installation
The IDL is designed for desktop use or for installation in an EIA standard 19-inch (483 mm) instrument rack.
During rack installation, it is important that approximately 1.75 inch (45 mm) of space is left between each
rack mount unit for ventilation. This spacing also provides easier access to equipment back panels.
Accessory Kit
An Accessory Kit is provided which includes 4 rubber bumpers, a replacement Fuse, a power cord with the
correct molded plug and 11 pre-terminated, 6 position Terminal Block plug-in Modules.
Desk Mount
The IDL can be used on a solid desk surface. Use the 4 rubber bumpers provided to make a stable base.
Attach an adhesive-backed bumper to each corner of the bottom surface and press firmly.
Rack Mount
The IDL can be rack mounted using hardware supplied with the Rack. Simply place the IDL at the desired
position and attach it using 4 screws. No additional support is required.
Cabling
The IDL must be connected to power, CPU and I/O Device controls. This sub-section will detail complete
cabling, which is comprised of Power, CPU and I/O Device Connection sub-sections.
Power Connection
The IDL is factory set for its operating voltage and requires
only proper use of the provided line cord.
NOTE: Do not apply power to the IDL until all cabling with
the CPU and I/O devices has been completed.
Verify that the correct fuse is installed in the Active Fuse
Holder as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Attach the provided
Power Cord to the Rear Panel Power Block.
NOTE: Vicon strongly recommends the use of line
conditioners, voltage regulators and uninterruptible power
supply systems (UPS) to prevent voltage fluctuations that
can affect operation and cause damage to the equipment.
