ASM-10/8Installation and Operation Manual

 

 

To connect the line:

1.Connect the ground wire to the terminal designated GND (optional).

2.Connect the transmit pair to the terminals marked XMT.

3.Connect the receive pair to the terminals marked RCV.

Note

Use only XMT pair for 2-wire operation.

Connecting the DTE

The rear-panel DTE connector provides interface for data input/output, clock reference and control signal exchange between ASM-10/8 and the DTE. The DTE connector is V.24/RS-232, D-type 25-pin female connector. Connector pin allocations appear in Appendix A.

Connecting the Power

The power is supplied to the ASM-10/8 unit through the 1.5m (5 ft) standard power cable terminated in a standard 3-prong plug. The cable is provided with the unit.

The integral fuse holder, located above the AC socket, contains two fuses (0.125A/250V or 0.25A/250V, slow-blow). The upper fuse is spare and can be used for blown fuse replacement.

The unit has no power switch. Operation starts when the power is applied to the rear-panel POWER connector.

Warning Before switching on this instrument, the protective earth terminals of this instrument must be connected to the protective ground conductor of the power cord. The power plug shall only be inserted in a power outlet provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated by use of an extension cord (power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding).

Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current, as marked on the ASM-10/8 rear panel, are used for replacement. The use of repaired fuses and the short-circuiting of the fuse holders is forbidden.

Whenever it is likely that the protection offered by fuses has been impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.

To connect power to ASM-10/8:

1.Connect the power cable to the connector on the ASM-10/8 rear panel.

2.Connect the power cable to the mains outlet.

The unit will be turned on automatically upon connection to the mains.
