Easylink to EST3 Module
Page 1 of 6
Product Description
The Easylink Module mounts in an enclosure
(P/N 587-300, 115 Vac or P/N 587-295, 230 Vac).
Once installed, the Easylink Module is positioned
approximately 2-1/4 inches off the back wall of the
enclosure on a board bracket and four standoffs.
There are two man-machine interface (MMI) ports on
the Module—the MMI and the MMI MODEM. These
ports are RS-232 ports with quick-connect RJ-11
jacks.
NOTE: All circuits are supervised, except for the
MMI MODEM and MMI ports.
The memory board, which is located underneath the
memory board cover, plugs into the Easylink Board
and contains the firmware (read-only memory (ROM))
that contains the EST3 module.
Power is supplied to the Easylink board via a 12 Vdc,
500 mA plug-in power supply (P/N 545-132, 115 Vac
or 545-136, 230 Vac).
NOTE: Refer to the Easylink to EST3 Technical
Manual (587-331) for further information
about the system installation and
programming constraints.

Instructions
Preparing to Install the Easylink Board
CAUTION:
Before removing or installing the Easylink
board, ensure that the power switch is
shut OFF on the board (Figure 1).
1. Place the electro-static discharge (ESD) wrist
strap on your wrist and attach it to a good earth
ground.
2. Remove the temporary connector cover that is
wrapped around the board bracket (Figure 2).
3. Remove the FLN and BLN connectors from the
temporary cover. Reserve the connectors for
later use.
4. Discard the temporary connector cover.

1. Unpack the Easylink Module from the anti-static
bag.
2. Rotate the top two plastic stand-offs on the
board bracket so that the clip of the standoff is
positioned at the top. (Figure 3).

Figure 4. Module Installation.
3. With the LEDs and FLN connectors facing you,
slide the bottom of the board at a 10°angle into
the bottom guides on the board bracket
(Figure 4).
4. Position the Module over the standoffs.
5. Straighten the grounding strap so that the spade
connector is not behind the Easylink bracket.
6. Push the Module cover back until each standoff
snaps into position.
7. Plug the grounding strap wire into the grounding
spade labeled JP2 on the Easylink Module
(Figure 1).

Connecting Easylink to EST3 system
1. Attach the FLN 1 wires to the three position trunk
connector as indicated on the rear panel of the
Trunk Interface II (Figure 5). The shield should
be taped back or connected as required to
obtain a single-ended earth grounded shield.
2. Connect the stipped end of the earth ground wire
to the shield position of the PMD Trunk Connect
and connect the other end (ring terminal) to
earth ground (e.g., mounting plate screw of
outlet, field panel chassis mounting screw, or
other suitable earth ground location).
3. Plug the DC power cord into the transformer
connector on the Trunk Interface II. Then plug
the power pack into the appropriate power
source.

4. Make cable per diagram in Figure 7.
5. Connect cabling to the EST3 system using the
guidelines in Figure 7.
