INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

2. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The Link should be installed in a clean, dry indoor location suitable for
electronic equipment.
Caution: Power, telephone lines and antenna cables should be
connected only after the installation is complete.
Each system starts with a Main B1285-M1 module. The appropriate
expander modules are then added to provide the required communications
and I/O functionality. The first expander module is plugged into the Main
module, then the next expander into the first expander and so on. The
ProTalk Link System accepts a maximum of 16 modules (B1285-M1
module + a maximum of 15 expander modules).
Connection of the plug-together modules is shown in Figure 1. Mounting
ears are provided for back panel installation. A desktop arrangement can
be also used where the modules are stacked on top of each other. Each
added module is secured to the previous module with joiner plates
attached to the sides.
