• 1 power cord • 1 user guide Note the power entry module on the rear of the IBU-240 chassis. Please take note of the voltage displayed on the rear of the power entry module and verify that the voltage matches the local line’s voltage.
Installation The IBU-240 should be bolted directly into a 19” rack mount enclosure or mounted on a shelf. The IBU-240 when fully populated has up to 27 cables attached to the rear panel, therefore it is recommended that some appropriate cable strain-relief system be used to support these cables, particularly when the IBU-240 is not mounted on a shelf.
ALARM IN connection is made, the reference is still considered good. To change the polarity of the ALARM IN, remove the top cover of the IBU-240 and set the links to the link settings seen in the tables shown below.
Powering the IBU-240 Once all connections to the IBU-240 have been made, apply power to the unit by moving the On/Off switch to the on position. The On/Off switch is located on the rear panel of the power entry module.
Fault Indicator The red LED on the front panel indicates that one or more of the outputs have a low signal. The four potential causes for a low signal are listed below: 1. The input signal level is too low therefore the output signal monitors have registered the low level as a fault.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting There is no preventive maintenance required for the IBU-240. Moreover, no periodic calibration is required. SYMPTOM POTENTIAL CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION No signal 1. There is no input 1. Connect the reference outputs reference. input. 2. The Reference Select 2.
