5. Attach one end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the unit and the
other end to a properly grounded 115/230 VAC, 50-60 Hz outlet.
•
A ground path from the unit chassis to the enclosure chassis can be
established using the 6-32 threaded ground point hole provided on
the bottom panel of the unit
6. Turn on power to the system. The system will boot up the installed operating
system.
7. Install the application software via a floppy drive, CD-ROM, or the network.
Additional aspects to take into account when mounting your 3700 unit:
•
•
•
•
Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting
(interior lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance
convenience
•
•
•
•
Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air
conditioner
•
•
•
•
To allow for maximum cooling, avoid obstructing the airflow
•
•
•
•
Place any fans or blowers close to the heat generating devices. If using a
fan, make sure that outside air is not brought into the enclosure unless a
fabric or other reliable filter is used. This filtration prevents conductive
particles and other harmful contaminants from entering the enclosure.
•
•
•
•
Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive
electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI).
Examples of these types of equipment are: high power welding
machines; induction heating equipment; and large motor starters.
•
•
•
•
Place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage
transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) away from
the system. The proper location of incoming line devices keeps power
wire runs as short as possible and minimizes electrical noise transmitted
to the unit.
•
•
•
•
Make sure the location does not exceed the unit’s shock, vibration, and
temperature specifications
•
•
•
•
Install the unit in the rack or panel in such a way as to ensure that it does
not cause a hazard from uneven mechanical loading
•
•
•
•
Incorporate a readily-accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring on
permanently connected equipment
•
•
•
•
Avoid circuit overloading of the supply circuit
