Gilson 508 manual Power, Electrical

Installation 2

Refer to the diagram below to connect the 508 to another Gilson instrument using a GSIOC cable.

Electrical

9-pin female connector; connect to GSIOC port of GSIOC device

9-pin male connector; connect to another GSIOC cable for linking additional GSIOC devices

9-pin female connector; connect to the GSIOC port on the interface module

Connections

With additional GSIOC cables, you can connect as many as 32 devices. To connect additional GSIOC cables, connect the male connector to the next cable’s female connector (use the female connector that’s not joined to the male connector).

Then connect the remaining female connector to the GSIOC port of the device.

Cables should be arranged in a linear fashion. Any “Y-branching” from the main GSIOC cable may increase noise.

Power

After you’ve made all the necessary connections, attach the power connector to the POWER input of the interface module and the transformer to a wall outlet. Since the interface module is designed to be left on at all times, it does not have a power switch. If you prefer to have a power switch, a switched power outlet strip is recommended.

The Power light indicates that power is being supplied to the unit.

Euro plug adapter

Locate the Euro Plug Adapter (part number 594505121) supplied with the 508 Interface Module. If necessary, attach to the power cord to connect the interface module to an AC power source.
