Interfaces and Connections 2-5
Control Port Connection
The FCD-IPM control port is located on the front panel. Connect the ASCII
terminal to this port. For more information on connecting to the control port, refer
to Connecting to the ASCII Terminal in Chapter 3.
Connecting the Power
For your protection, FCD-IPM must always be grounded. Any interruption of the
protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the instrument) or
disconnecting the protective earth terminal can make this instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
BEFORE POWERING UP AN AC POWERED FCD-IPM, the protective earth
terminals of this instrument must be connected to the protective conductor of
the (mains) power cord. The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket
outlet provided with a protective ground (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 and of the specified
type, as marked on the FCD-IPM rear panel, are used for replacement. Use of
repaired fuses and short-circuiting of 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.

AC Power Connection

AC power should be supplied to FCD-IPM through the 1.5m (5 feet) standard
power cable terminated by a standard 3-prong plug.
To connect the AC power:
1. Check that the ON/OFF switch on the FCD-IPM rear panel is set to OFF.
2. Connect the power cable to the connector on the FCD-IPM rear panel.
3. Connect the power cable to the mains outlet.

DC Power Connection

To connect the DC power:
1. Check that the ON/OFF switch on the FCD-IPM rear panel is set to OFF.
2. Connect the power cable to the DC power connector.

Constraints

Do not hot swap the FCD-IPM modular IO data channel cards. A card must be
added to or removed from an IO slot when the power is off ONLY.
