Step 3: Mount MV-6
To rack mount the machine, attach both rack ears
(by removing the screws from each side of the
machine and replacing those screws through the
rack ears) or place the machine on a table.
•Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature &
air flow) is compatible for the device.
•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
•Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.
•Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your MV-6.
RS-232 Connection:
Use a 9-wire straight cable and connect only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on
your PC.
A null-modem adapter/connection is not required.
Step 5: Connect power
Connect the power cord to MV-6 and plug it into the mains electricity.
