Site Preparation The location must have access to a dedicated 110 Volt AC (±10%), 60 Hz, single-phase circuit with a circuit breaker or fuse rated at 15 amps. A 3-wire parallel blade grounded outlet should be within approximately 6 feet of the lower left rear of the BKSU mounting. The location must have access to a good earth ground, such as a metallic cold water pipe without non-metallic joints.
Site Preparation Backboard Installation A wooden backboard is recommended for all installations and must be installed when the location has masonry or plasterboard walls. A 1/2-inch plywood material is sufficient for most installations. The backboard should be mounted at a convenient height, about three feet above the floor and be bolted in various places to distribute the weight of the system.
KSU Installation KSU Installation STARPLUS Triad-S System consists of a Basic KSU (BKSU) cabinet. Mounting the Basic KSU The Basic KSU consists of a plastic cover, a metal base frame designed for wall mounting. Before installing BKSU on the wall, two wall mounting plates that are assembled in the bottom side of the BKSU, must be extended for mounting.
KSU Installation Mounting the Expansion KSU (EKSU) The Expansion KSU consists of a plastic cover, a metal base frame designed for wall mount installation. The EKSU contains a power transformer and expansion interface board (EIB). The EKSU MUST be mounted above the BKSU. Before installing the BKSU on the wall, the wall mounting plate that is assembled in the bottom side of the EKSU, must be extended for wall mounting and the fastener provided with the EKSU must be assembled with the EKSU.
2-12 Battery Charging Unit (BCU) Installation Battery Charging Unit (BCU) Installation The BCU provides power for the system during a power failure. The BCU connects to the Triad-S via the connector on the bottom of the BKSU. The external gel cell batteries must provide 24V DC. This is generally accomplished by connecting two 12 volt batteries in series.
KSU Grounding 2-13 KSU Grounding To ensure proper system operation and for safety purposes, a good earth ground is required. A metallic COLD water pipe usually provides a reliable ground. Carefully check that the pipe does not contain insulated joints that could isolate the ground.
2-14 Power Line Surge Protection Power Line Surge Protection The AC outlet should be equipped with a power surge protection device or UPS. Systems using such devices are more resistant to damage from power line surges than unprotected systems. Power line surges often occur during normal operations and during violent thunderstorms.
PCB Installation 2-15 PCB Installation PCB Handling and General Installation DO NOT install or remove any boards with powerapplied. Power must be turned off prior to installation or removal of the PCBs. The system cards contain digital circuitry which are extremely reliable, but can be damaged by exposure to excessive static electricity.
