Installation and Operation Guide from the CTI web site: www.controltechnology.com/support/manuals/.

Introduction

The CTI Janus PAC is an advanced, high-performance IEC-61131-3 compliant PLC with unmatched
integrated communications capabilities and diagnostic features. The processor provides real-time control
functions, connectivity, data handling, and visualization in one product.

Unpacking the Module

Open the shipping carton and remove the special anti-static bag that contains the module. After
discharging any static build-up, remove the module from the static bag. Do not discard the static bag.
Always use this bag for protection against static damage when the module is not inserted into the I/O base.
CAUTION:
The components on the Janus Controller can be damaged by static electricity discharge.
To prevent this damage, the module is shipped in a special anti-static bag. Static control precautions
should be followed when removing the module from the bag and when handling the printed circuit
board during configuration

Installation

The Janus Controller is shipped with the battery and internal SD card installed. The firmware is pre-loaded
on the SD card and ready for operation.
The Janus Controller must be installed into the first slot in the base (next to the power supply).
Remove power from the chassis. Align the circuit board with the connector next to the power supply. Slide
the controller into the rack until the connector seats. Use the thumbscrews to secure the controller to the
rack.
Apply power to the base power supply. The P
G
LED on the power supply should illuminate,
OWER
OOD
indicating that power is being supplied to the base connectors.
