Installation and Operation

Installation Overview

To install and set up an IPL T S interface, follow these steps:

1.

Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the video sources (DSS, cable

 

boxes, or other devices), the IPL T S unit, the output devices (monitors,

 

VCRs, projectors, and so on) and the serial controller are all turned off and

 

disconnected from the power source.

2.

Mount the IPL T S interface. See “Mounting the IPL T S Interface”, below.

3.

Attach the cables. See “Connecting the Hardware” in chapter 3.

4.

Connect power cords and turn on the devices in the following order: output

 

devices (projectors, monitors, speakers), IPL T S interface, serial controller or

 

computer (PC), then input devices (DSS, cable boxes, and so on).

5.

Configure the IPL T S interface through DataViewer or Telnet, then access the

 

unit using an Internet browser.

UL guidelines for rack mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of an IPL T S Series unit onto a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer [Tma = +32 to +122 °F (0 to +50 °C)].

2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
