What are we going to do
here? In this section, we’ll give you a step-by-step procedure for installing the Alarm Box
Add-On accessory on your Cirris 1000HX. To make things easier, we’ll provide
digital photographs taken at the workbench, as one of our factory technicians
installed an alarm box.
Procedure To install the Alarm Box Add-On accessory, follow these steps:
1. Open the quarter-turn fasteners, and remove the scanner cover plate, then
gently lift the scanner assembly out of the chassis of the 10000H+.

on the analyzer have been opened, and the cover plate has been

that the ribbon cable which connects the scanner with the rest of the
analyzer is still connected. The center cover plate is still in place on
the analyzer’s chassis.

2. Disconnect the ribbon cable from the scanner assembly, set the scanner
assembly aside. Place the Alarm Box next to the 1000HX. Note: When you
latch the two boxes together shortly, the pins on the side of the Alarm Box will
fit into the holes in the side of the analyzer itself.
3. Remove the center cover plate from the 1000HX, and set the plate aside.

4. Unlock the quarter-turn fasteners on the Processor Assembly, and lift it gently
from the chassis as shown. Be sure to gently remove the processor at an
angle as shown! This will avoid snapping the pogo pin that grounds the
processor to the chassis. Note the ribbon cable connected to the Processor.
5. Turn the Processor Assembly over gently. You’ll see the ribbon cable still
connected to it. The wires running to the system speaker are also still
connected.

6. Disconnect both the ribbon cable and the speaker wires, and lay them carefully
aside. The Processor Assembly is now disconnected from the rest of the
analyzer.

be essentially empty.

8. Unlock the quarter-turn fasteners on the alarm box, and lift the top assembly
out of the chassis. Lay the assembly carefully on its top as shown. Note the
long ribbon cable coming from the upper assembly in the Alarm box.
9. Pop out the plastic covers from the rectangular openings in the sides of both
boxes (if they’re there), snake the long ribbon cable through the rectangular
openings in the sides of both chassis, then butt the two chassis together (the
pins on the side of the Alarm Box should fit into the holes in the side of the ana-
lyzer) and engage the drawlatches to lock the boxes together. Replace the top
assembly on the alarm box. Note that the long ribbon cable should snake across
the entire bottom of the analyzer’s chassis box.
