Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

2.1 Introduction

This chapter describes installation and setup procedures for the standalone

RIC-155 device.

After installing the unit:

• Refer to Chapter 3 for the operating instructions.

• Refer to Chapter 4 for the detailed system configuration procedures using an

ASCII terminal connected to the RIC-155 control port.

If a problem is encountered, refer to Chapter 5 for test and diagnostic instructions.

The RIC-155 standalone unit is designed for desktop or bench installation and is

delivered as a fully assembled unit. No provisions are made for bolting the unit to

a tabletop.

Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation, and

maintenance of this product.

2.2 Site Requirements and Prerequisites

AC-powered RIC-155 units should be installed within 1.5m (5 ft) of an

easily-accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing the voltage in

accordance with RIC-155 nominal supply voltage.

DC-powered RIC-155 unit requires a -48 VDC or 24 VDC power source, which

must be adequately isolated from the main supply.

Allow at least 90 cm (36 in) of frontal clearance for operating and maintenance

accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 in) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal

lines and interface cables.

The ambient operating temperature of RIC-155 should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F),

at a relative of up to 90%, non-condensing. humidity
