2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
In most cases the VX462B is individually sealed and packaged for shipment. Verify that there has
been no da mage to the shipping container. If damage exists then t he container should be r etained
as it will provide evidence of carrier caused problems. Such problems should be reported to the
carrier immediately as well as to C&H. If there is no damage to the shipping container, carefully
remove the module from its box and anti static bag and inspect for any signs of physical damage.
If damage exists, report immediately to C&H.
2.2 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The VX462B contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. When handling
the module for any reason, do so at a static-controlled workstation, whenever possible. At a
minimum, avo id wo rk are as tha t are pot ential s tatic sourc es, su ch as carpet ed ar eas. Avoid
unnecessary contact with the components on the module.
2.3 INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Read the entire User's Manu al before proceeding with the
installation and application of power.
Set or verify the module's logical address. Insert the module into the appropriate slot according
to the desired priority. Apply power. If no obvious problems exist, proceed to communicate with
the module as outlined in Section 4.0 (Operating Instructions).
2.4 PREPARATION FOR RESHIPMENT
If the module is to be shipped separately it should be enclosed in a suitable water and vapor proof
anti static bag. Heat seal or tape the bag t o insure a moisture-proof closure. When sealing the
bag, keep t rapped air volume to a minimum.
The shipping container should be a rigid box of sufficient size and strength to protect the
equipment from damage. If the module was received separately from a C&H system, then the
original module shipping container and packing material may be re-used if it is st ill in good
condition.
