Recommended Installation Procedure

!

!

Please read and observe the instructions and guidelines in Section “Safety and Precautions” (page 21) prior to installation. Failure to follow these instructions and guidelines may cause personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.

1. If installing a VIPET fitted with VIPET-PSU-24V PSU with Earth Lift switch, ensure that the Earth Lift switch is set to the correct position.

!

• Ensure that there is at least 1U of ventilated space between the unit and any source of heat

(e.g. V400 amplifier mainframes).

• The rail supporting the right side of the VIPET (viewed from the front) must not obstruct the ventilation holes on the unit's bottom side.


Page 8 of 24


3. If using the VIPET-SERIAL-4 (SeaLINK 2403), install the unit as described bellow. a. Remove the unit’s feet. b. Remove 3 screws at the bottom of the unit. These screws will be used to fix the unit to the shelf.

The shelf which is supplied for mounting the VIPET-SERIAL-4 interface supports two units. The screws to be removed depend on the unit’s position on the shelf.

The positions of the screws to be removed are marked with X on the next drawing. c. Position the unit on the shelf.

• ETH0:

As standard, the VIPET uses Ethernet port ETH0.

• EXP. 2:

As standard the RS232 interface type is enabled. This port can be disabled in order to enable the RS485 (COM2/ttyS1) interface on the EXP. 1 port. The interface is enabled or disabled by setting a link on the Watchdog Card (see Figure 4).

6. Connect the USB cable to the VIPET-SERIAL-4 unit (if used) and the appropriate VIPET USB port.

7. If installing VIPET-PSU-MAINS, connect the power supply cabling (as appropriate) to the rear panel

IEC320 socket.

!

!

The mains powered VIPET requires a mains filter for EMC compliance, and for protection against voltage surges.

The VIPET mains filter needs to be ordered as part of the VIPET system, as ASL item VIPET-

MAINS-FILTER, and should be installed as shown in Figure 3.

8. If installing VIPET-PSU-24V, connect the dual power supply (as appropriate) to the rear panel Wago connectors observing carefully the polarity. a. Use one of the two methods shown in the following diagram to terminate the DC Power Supply cabling in the Wago connectors. b. When the screwdriver is removed, the bare end of the wire will be held securely by the contact spring. c. To remove the wire, reverse the process.
