V2000 – Installation Guide Introduction This document describes how to install the V2000 Amplifier Mainframe and associated Interface Cards into a pre-wired equipment rack. The diagram below provides an overview of the installation sequence. Summary of Task Section Step(s) Page Safety and Precautions Read the safety and precautions instructions and guidelines.
Objects containing liquids should not be placed upon the equipment. Weight Safety The V2000 mainframe with amplifier and interface cards fitted is heavy (max. 15 kg). Move and handle with care to avoid strain or impact injuries. Install amplifier modules after mounting mainframe into the equipment rack.

Blanking Plate Disposal Any blanking plates removed from the V2000 as part of the installation process ideally should be recycled as metal or otherwise responsibly disposed of by following WEEE protocols. U-0623-0291.docx – Issue: 04 complete, approved...
A standard 19-inch rack is required for the installation. The rack should be fitted with battery backup system (if used), supporting rails for the V2000 mainframe, fan trays (if required), cooling ducts (if required), ventilation panels (if required) and wired...
Unpack the equipment in a dry area handling the equipment with care. The V2000 mainframe, interface cards and amplifier modules contain static-sensitive devices. Observe ESD precautions when handling the mainframe with the lid removed, the interface cards or amplifier modules.
Use the underside edges of the mainframe to lift and carry it. Do not connect cables or other wiring to the V2000 until instructed. V2000 (Blanking plates fitted to the rear panel.)

V2000 – Installation Guide If fitted, remove the V2000 front panel by undoing the 2 x captive screws on the right-hand side of the front panel. Note that the V2000 Build Standard (BS) is the last section of the product’s barcode which is located on the mainframe front panel (behind the removable front panel);...

V2000 – Installation Guide If used, fit one or two V2000-STBY Interface Cards to the rear panel standby interface card slots as required by your system design. If the mainframe is to be fitted with a single V2000-STBY Interface Card, the interface card should be fitted into the right-hand side standby interface card slot as illustrated below.
Page 13
Ensure that all unused standby interface card slots are covered with a Standby Blanking Plate. Any blanking plates removed from the V2000 as part of the installation process ideally should be recycled as metal or otherwise responsibly disposed of by following WEEE protocols.
Page 14
V2000 – Installation Guide Set the standby links on the rear side of the backplane according to the number of V2000-STBY Interface Cards fitted to the mainframe. Ensure the standby links are correctly set on the V2000 backplane. If incorrectly set, amplifiers may get damaged when a standby amplifier changes over.

LINKS NOT FITTED handling electrostatic sensitive devices. Cover all unused LSZDC Interface Card slots with a V2000 Surveillance Blanking Plate as specified in your system design. The example below shows a blanking plate covering slots 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
Page 17
V2000 – Installation Guide Fit the LSZDC Interface Cards to the rear panel surveillance interface card slots as required by your system design. The illustrations below show a LSZDC Interface Card being fitted into slot 1. Insert the LSZDC Interface Card so that its rear connector mates the matching connector on the backplane by seating the tab at the bottom of the interface card in the appropriate notch on the midline rear support.
Page 18
V2000 – Installation Guide Ensure that the interface card is fully pushed, and then secure it using 2 x screws. Ensure all securing screws are fully tightened to bond the interface card to the amplifier mainframe chassis. It is important to make sure the screws are fully tightened to prevent dangerous voltages being present on the panel.

Fit the mainframe into a 19-inch standard equipment rack on supporting rails, and secure the mainframe in position using fixing screws and washers. The V2000 mainframe with amplifier and interface cards fitted is heavy (max. 15 kg). Move and handle with care to avoid strain or impact injuries.
Page 21
V2000 – Installation Guide Install the amplifier modules as required by your system design. Fully open the ejector lever of the amplifier module. Position the amplifier module in the slot through the front of the mainframe. Align the sides of the module with the card guides on top and bottom of the mainframe to locate it correctly.
Page 22
V2000 – Installation Guide Carefully slide the amplifier module into the slot until the ejector lever meets the card guide at the bottom. Pivot the ejector lever up just so that the ejector lever hook fits into the gap Mainframe between the bottom card guide and the mainframe hem.

The Ethernet cables should not be connected to the V2000 until system commissioning as all V2000 units are supplied with same IP settings (factory default).
Page 24
V2000 – Installation Guide Connect the AC mains power supply cable to the rear panel mains connector. If battery power supply is used, connect the battery power cable from the battery supply circuit breaker to the rear panel connector BATTERY IN/OUT.
