plastic bags. Anti-Static bags are available for storage of static sensitive components.

INSTALLATION

When shipped, Interface Modules are provided with side screws and any necessary accessories. If ordered with a logger, the Interface Modules are typically factory installed in the System Base before shipment.

The Interface Modules stack onto the System Base building a `layered’ logger to meet the User’s needs. All modules (except the ML-BATT Battery Pack) have an inter-module connection bus that connects signals and power between the modules(Figure 3... -1).

To add a module, perform the following steps and any special Installation Instructions detailed in the following Interface Module specific sections.

1.Review the Interface Module instructions and observe any special installation instructions. These may include setting Module Address Switches and Input Configuration Switches.

2.Turn the OMP-MODL System Power switch OFF.

3.Determine the Port (layer) at which the new Interface Module is to be installed. Refer to Figure 3... -4. Note that some modules must be installed at a particular position (eg the MLIM-5 must be installed between the MLCPU-1 and the MLAD-1 modules).

Also note that many modules require a Module address to be programmed through the setting of one or more Module Address Switches. This is covered in detail in the module specific sections that follow.

4.Remove the four side retaining screws (Figure 3... -1) from the enclosure nearest the joint into which the new module is to added.

1.Carefully separate the layers while keeping them parallel (Figure 3... -2). Minimize the amount of twisting or rocking as this will result in bent connector bus pins.
