3. Getting Started
This section describes a simplified installation procedure for the RSM-8R hardware,
which will allow you to communicate with the unit in order to demonstrate basic features
and check for proper operation.
Note that this Quick Start procedure does not provide a detailed description of unit
configuration, or discuss advanced operating features in detail. For more information,
please refer to the remainder of this User’s Guide
3.1. Apply Power to the RSM-8R
Refer to the safety precautions listed at the beginning of this User's Guide, and then
connect the unit to an appropriate power source. Connect the power supply cable to
the unit’s power inlet, snap the Cable Keeper into place, and then connect the cable to
an appropriate power supply. Please refer to the table below for information concerning
