1. GENERAL
1.1 Document Purpose
This document provides turn up and acceptance test procedures for the 360-80 Intelligent Channel Bank (ICB).
2. VERIFYING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
2.1 Initial Installation Notes
Step Action
1. Shelf must already be mounted per documentation.
2. Unit must already be wired for power from a fuse panel. Power should not be applied at this time.
2.2 19-inch and 23-inch Bays
If modules are already installed in the ICB, remove them before testing.
Step Action
1. Connect the audio and visual alarm leads to the removeable connector on the back of the ICB shelf.
Reference the Shelf documentation for the proper procedure. Figure 1 displays the shelf rear panel.
2. Apply power to the shelf.
3. Locate the power terminal block on the rear (see Figure 1) of the ICB. Using a voltmeter connect the −
(common) test lead to −48VR screw terminal. With the + test lead, measure the voltage at the −48V
terminal. The voltage should be between −44 and −56 VDC. If voltages are not correct, inspect wiring
for proper polarity, and/or check power source for proper settings (or output) and correct as required.

3. SYSTEM TURN-UP
Use the following steps to turn up the system. Only the T1 controller unit (T1-S) should be installed as instructed.
Figure 2 displays the T1 Controller Unit Front Panel.

Section 360-080-102

Step Action Verification
1. Insert the T1-S into the ICB. Do NOT connect the
T1 to J1 at the rear of the T1-S.
The green LED on the T1-S should be lit, indicat-
ing that the T1-S is powered.
When first plugged in, the AR, AY, TP and LP
LEDs on the front panel of the T1-S will light and
then extinguish. Approximately 5 seconds after
power is applied, the 4 LEDs will flash simulta-
neously (LED test), indicating that the T1-S is ini-
tializing.
Since a T1 line is not connected, approximately
2.5 seconds after the flashing LEDs have extin-
guished, the red AR LED will light, followed by the
yellow TP LED, indicating that no T1 signal has
been detected and trunk processing is in progress.
