AC POWERED CHASSIS
Power source should be available within 5 ft. of the chassis and installed per the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70.
Model 1020-1 requires 100-240VAC, 0.4Amp, 50/60Hz. Appropriate overloading
protection should be provided on all AC power source outlets utilized.
The standard operating temperature of this equipment is 0 to 50 degrees C. If installed
in a closed or multi-chassis rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
must not exceed the maximum rated 50 degrees C temperature. For wide temperature
models, the operating temperature must not exceed 60 degrees C.
Installation of the equipment should be such that the air ow in the front and back of
the chassis is not compromised or restricted.
Installing this equipment into a rack in such a way as to make it unstable may cause
injury or death. Always make sure that the rack is properly secured, stable, balanced
and designed to carry the weight and weight distribution of this equipment.
Never use this equipment to carry any weight except its own. Never use it as a shelf
to support the weight of other equipment.
Attach the AC power cord to the back of the chassis and plug into the AC outlets. The
Power LED on the front of the chassis will illuminate as well as the Power LED on any
installed modules.
NOTE: The fans will not operate until the internal ambient temperature reaches
appropriately 50° C. The fans will turn off once the internal ambient temperature
drops below appropriately 40° C.

RACK MOUNTING
When rack mounting the chassis to a 19” standard rack, rst attach the two enclosed
“L” shaped rack mounting brackets to the chassis using the enclosed screws. The rack
mounting brackets can be attached to the chassis using two different hole patterns,
depending on the mounting requirement. The different hole patterns will allow two
chassis to be installed in a 3U rack space.
Figure 2: Lower Rack Mount Position Figure 3: Upper Rack Mount Position
Mount and attach the chassis (after the mounting brackets are installed) to the rack using
the appropriate rack mounting screws (not provided). For optional 23” rack mounting,
attach the mounting bracket in the same manner as shown above.
The chassis provides NEBS ground posts to secure a grounding lug and wire from the
chassis to the ground post.
Figure 4: NEBS Grounding Lugs
When rack-mounting this equipment, the rack should be appropriately earth-grounded.

Installing this equipment into a rack in such a way as to make it unstable may cause
injury or death. Always make sure that the rack is properly secured, stable, balanced
and designed to carry the weight and weight distribution of this equipment.
Never use this equipment to carry any weight except its own. Never use it as a shelf
to support the weight of other equipment.
Locate the DC circuit breaker and switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position.
Prepare a power cable using a three conductor insulated wire (not supplied) with 12AWG
to 14AWG thickness. Cut the power cable to the length required.
Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires.
Connect the power cables to the chassis by fastening the stripped ends to the DC power
connector (see Figure 6 for details on terminal block polarity).
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive, negative and
ground connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the
circuit breaker.
Connect the power wires to the circuit breaker and switch the circuit breaker ON. The
Power LED on the front of the chassis will illuminate as well as the Power LED on any
installed modules.
NOTE: The fans will not operate until the internal ambient temperature reaches
appropriately 50° C. The fans will turn off once the internal ambient temperature
drops below appropriately 40° C.

DC POWERED CHASSIS
This chassis is intended for installation in restricted access areas. (“Les matériels
sont destinés à être installés dans des EMPLACEMENTS À ACCÈS RESTREINT”). A
restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special key, or other
means of security.
The over current protection for connection with centralized DC shall be provided in the
building installation, and shall be a UL listed circuit breaker rated 20 Amps, and installed
per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70.
Appropriate overloading protection should be provided on the DC power source outlets
utilized.
Power source should be available within 5 ft. of the chassis. The over current protection
for the connection with centralized DC shall be provided in the building installation and
shall be a UL listed breaker rated at 15 Amps, and installed per the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA-70.
Model 1025-1 requires 36-60VDC/1.0 Amps power. Model 1026-1 requires 18-36VDC/2.0
Amps power. Appropriate overloading protection should be provided on all DC power
source outlets utilized.
WARNING: OnlyaDC power source that complies with
safety extra low voltage (SELV) requirements can be
connected to the DC-input power supply.
WARNING REGARDING EARTHING GROUND:
o
o
o
o
This equipment shall be connected to the DC supply
system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding
jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the
DC supply system earthing electrode is connected.
This equipment shall be located in the same immediate
area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment
that has a connection between the earthed conductor of
the same DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor,
and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The DC
system shall not be earthed elsewhere.
The DC supply source is to be located within the same
premises as this equipment.
There shall be no switching or disconnecting devices in
the earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and
the earthing electrode conductor.
The standard operating temperature of this equipment is 0 to 50 degrees C. If installed
in a closed or multi-chassis rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
must not exceed the maximum rated 50 degrees C temperature. For wide temperature
models, the operating temperature must not exceed 60 degrees C.
Installation of the equipment should be such that the air ow in the front and back of
the chassis is not compromised or restricted.

Figure 8: Module Insertion
To remove the miConverter module, remove the screw from the mounting bracket, tilt
up on the module and slide the module out of the chassis.
VERIFY OPERATION
The chassis provides a POWER LED located on the front left top corner of the chassis.
When the POWER LED is solid green, the chassis is powered.
Page 9
INSTALL THE MODULES
Eighteen mounting brackets are provided with each chassis to secure the miConverter
modules in the chassis. Attach the mounting bracket to the miConverter module using
the at head screw provided (see Figure 7 below).
Figure 7: Module with Mounting Bracket
The chassis provides guides/rails to assist with the insertion of a miConverter module.
Align the module with the barrel connector towards the chassis and facing up (mounting
bracket tab down). Slowly insert the module with a slight upward motion to allow the
mounting bracket to clear the button lip of the chassis. Continue inserting until the barrel
connector on the chassis inserts into the module and the mounting bracket is ush
with the bottom lip of the chassis. Secure the module to the chassis by attaching the
mounting bracket to the bottom lip of the chassis using the pan head screw provided.
NOTE: The chassis only supports miConverter modules powered through the
barrel connector. miConverter modules with terminal block connectors are not
supported.
NOTE: The miConverter S-Series is not compatible with the chassis.
NOTE: Remove any rubber feet from the module before installing it into the
chassis.
