SECTION 2

INSTALLATION

INTRODUCTION

2-2. This section contains instructions for installing the transmitter and for making

all necessary cable interconnections before putting the system into use. Details on

storage and reshipment are also included.

2-3. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

2-4. The transmitter is shipped from the factory in a fully assembled condition within

its environmentally protective case. For shipment, it is enclosed in a moisture resis-

tant barrier material with dessicant and humidity indicator and packed in a wooden

box. The gross weight of the transmitter in its shipping container is less than 425

lbs. When removed from the shipping container, the transmitter can be transported

by forklift to its operating site. The shipping containers should be inspected for

external damage, and if damage is evident, the carrier should be notified.

NOTE

The transmitter case is marked to indicate position for the fork lifts.

2-5. To unpack the TCS-4B, remove the top of the shipping container. Care should

be exercised in removing nails and wood panels since the container is reusable. Roll

the shipping container over so the top is on the bottom. Lift the container straight

up off the TCS-4B. The transmitter (now upside down) should be rolled upright.

Check all items against the packing list. The shipping container and associated pack-

ing material should be retained for possible use in reshipment or storage of the trans-

mitter.

2-6. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

2-7. GENERAL. The transmitter operates satisfactorily within temperature limits

of O to 50C and up to 85% relative humidity. For long term operational stability,

the equipment should not be exposed to excessive shocks (exceeding 15 g's), high

dust levels, or extreme fluctuations in temperature. The 1024 and 5018 units of the

transmitter have internally mounted cooling fans. The fan on the 1024 unit exhausts

through a vent on the left side, and the fan on the 5018 unit exhausts through a

grill on the rear panel. Adequate clearance must be allowed for the free flow of air

to both units.

2-8. RACK MOUNTING. All units have front panels designed for standard 19-inch

rack mounting. If rack mounted, the units should be adequately supported by either

rack slides or weight supporting brackets mounted between the rack and the rear

of the units. Refer to figure 2-1 for suggested mounting details.

2-9. BENCH MOUNTING. For bench mounting, the units may be mounted one above

the other, or side by side, within the limits of the cable lengths supplied. When

mounted one above the other, the three units require a suitable packing shim (approx-

imately 1/2 inch thick) to maintain proper alignment of the front panels.
