DO NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX PRODUCT THAT APPEARS
DAMAGED. Upon unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents of the
carton for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, immediately file a claim
with the carrier and notify Simplex.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD - Disconnect electrical power when making any
internal adjustments or repairs. Servicing should be performed by qualified
Simplex Representatives.
A 155-010 Ferrite Bead (procured separately) must be added to each RS-232
twisted-pair to reduce radiated emissions. The following procedure describes
the installation of this ferrite bead.
Note: To accomplish the following steps, you must first remove power from
the system and open the Master Controller display door.
Use Steps 1 through 4 to install the ferrite beads.
1. Loop the RS-232 twisted-pair wires including the shield (or drain) wire
through a 155-010 Ferrite Bead close to the back box knockout. (See
Figure 1, Detail A.)
2. Attach the shield wire in the following manner.
Master System:Attach the shield wire to the Ground Bar, as shown in
Figure 1.
Slave System:Attach the shield wire to the AC Ground Network (Simplex
Kit No. 742-122) with a wirenut. Then attach the AC Ground Network to
the Ground Bar.
3. Repeat this procedure for each RS-232 twisted pair. When more than two
panels are involved, the Slave System (Panel Two) becomes the Master
System for the Panel Three. (See Figure 2.)
