Putting The Basic System Together - ABB MR Series Startup Procedure

5. You must locate two adjacent free slots for the installation of the MR100 DSP, three for the MR200. You
may have to re-arrange the location of existing boards to achieve that goal.
6. Some blank holding plates (please refer to A on the above picture) may be present and must be removed.
Please keep the screws. They will be required to secure the DSP board after installation.
7. Insert the DSP board as shown in the above picture. Be careful no to interfere with wires and other boards.
A PC computer normally includes some guiding slides (please refer to B on the above picture) which must
be used to ensure that the ISA connector will arrive right on the slot of the motherboard. Make sure that the
edges of the DSP PC board are inserted in these slides before inserting the board.
8. Once the board is fully inserted, apply a bit more pressure for the ISA connector to enter in the slot of the
motherboard.
9. Once the board is inserted in the slot, install the screws (please refer to C on the above picture) to secure the
board.
10. At this point, the board is installed. Do not put the cover on the computer right away. You may want to
check that the instrument is fully operational before doing so.
11. Apply power on the computer and make sure that it boots normally, indicating no major hardware problem.
12. At this point, the computer is ready to be connected to the Spectroradiometer to perform a basic
communication test.
c. PUTTING THE BASIC SYSTEM TOGETHER
An operational Spectroradiometer requires the following basic elements to be interconnected together:
The Spectroradiometer unit must be connected to the computer
One or two detectors must be installed and if cryogenic, must be filled with liquid nitrogen
Power must be connected and applied to both the spectroradiometer and the computer
In addition, the following equipment may be added to the unit (please refer to the alignment manual for more
information about installation):
A cold source.
An input collimator if purchased, if not a window is present.
A telescope (can be installed if the input collimator is present).
A video camera and monitor
The following steps must be followed to set-up the instrument as a minimal operational system:
1. Remove the Spectroradiometer from its carrying case and install in at a stable location. Two persons are
required to perform this operation. Use the handles located each side of the instrument to carry it. Do not
attempt to do it alone.
2. Remove the white cover on top of the instrument. The cover is held in place by small latches, which must be
loosened.
3. The instrument has provision for one or two detectors depending on the configuration purchased.
