    2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Different installation variants This chapter describes how to install the ML2000 system. Due to the flexibility of ML2000 there is many different ways to connect the components into a system. We recommend following the guidelines in this document. This will ensure a successful installation and help in case of need for support.
  • Page 4: System Overview

    There are different techniques to protect against this, depending on voltage levels and sensitivity of connected equipment. Due to long cables and low signal levels, the data cables are most exposed in a ML2000 system. Therefore surge protection is placed close to the connected equipment in both ends of the cable.
  • Page 5: Cable Between Shooting Stand And Targets

    User manual for ML2000 The electronics in the ML2000 system is equipped with surge protection at the power input. Regardless of this, we would recommend to install surge protection on the main power at the range (typically in connection with the 230V/110V inlet and/or fuse panel).
