Installation, cont’d

Preparing the site and cables

1.Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the floor box and the cables. You need to run the conduit (if required by local code) and cables under the floor before installing the interface.

2.Install the floor box in accordance with the documentation that accompanied the box.

3. Feed cables through the floor box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

4.Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink.

CTo prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both braided and foil shields should be connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.

5.

Set the DIP switches and cable and test the interface before

 

securing the device into the floor box. The switches and

 

cables will be inaccessible after installation.

Mounting the interface to the floor box

1.Disconnect the power supply to remove power from the interface.

2. If the floor box is installed, remove it’s top panel and trim frame.

3.Place the interface through the opening in the floor and into the floor box. Take care not to damage the cables, which lie behind the interface in the bottom of the box.

4.Attach the interface to the floor box by hooking the two locking tabs on the bottom of the interface’s faceplate into the slots on the bottom of the box. Secure the faceplate to the top of the floor box with the included 1/2" Phillips screws.

5.

Install the floor box’s top panel and trim frame.

6.Reconnect the power supply.
