6. Conversion Table Unit to Wall Mount Unit
The Time Acquisition Terminal can be used as a table unit as well as wall mount unit.
It is for you to decide in what form you want to use the Terminal. In shipping condition the Terminal is
pre-mounted as a table unit.
If you want to operate the Terminal as a wall mounted unit proceed as follows:
1) Make sure to disconnect the Terminal from the power supply.
2) Carefully unscrew the 4 screws on top of the casing with a fitting screwdriver.
3) Lift and separate the top of the unit slowly from the base part. Since the top is connected to the base
by means of a ribbon cable, do this rather carefully.
Ensure furthermore not to touch the printed cicuit board with any pointed object since this could harm
the electronic circuitry.
4) Turn the top part by 180 degrees and carefully replace it on the base part. When doing this, ensure
that the ribbon cable will not become loose and will further not be jammed when replacing the top part.
5) Re-screw top and base part by use of the 4 screws previously taken out.
If you want to mount the unit fixed to a wall, proceed as follows:
Disconnect the Terminal from the power supply.
Carefully unscrew the 4 screws on top of the casing with a fitting screwdriver.
Lift and separate the top of the unit slowly from the base part. Since the top is connected to the base by
means of a ribbon cable, do this rather carefully.
You now have access to the mounting holes in the base part
of the unit. Mark the positions of the drilling holes to the wall
and drill the appropriate holes für the mounting dowels.
Before mounting the base unit to the wall you will have to decide the way you want to lead the
connecting lines to the Terminal.
There are the following possibilities:
1) You want -also with fixed wall mounting -to use the terminal connections led outside for power
supply and serial interface.
If you want to operate the Time Acquisition Terminal even in case of a power failure, you have to
connect a 9 V block battery for backup to the terminals provided for in the battery compartment.
Following this you can screw the base unit to the wall, carefully replace the top part and secure it to the
mounted base part by use of the screws taken out previously.
Now the supply power can be connected to the socket provided for on the outside of the Terminal by
means of the AC Power Line Adapter included in the shipment.
Furthermore the serial interface cable provided for in the shipment can –if required –be connected to
the socket (RJ11, Western) provided for on the bottom of the casing.
2) You want to mount the connection cable in such a way, that it is not accessable from the outside.
To accomplish this the power supply and interface cables have to be led through the wall (or through a
switch box especially for this reason mounted behind the Time Acquisition Terminal) to the Terminal
casing. Further lead the various cables through the battery compartment (when wall mounting the
battery cover may be omitted) into the Terminal casing.
