PTI Falcon Installation And Operation Manual page 30

(3) Make certain that the communications wiring from the remote keypads and door alarm
multiplexers has been properly terminated on the remote patch cord and that the wires
are in the correct order on the patch cord terminal block. Do not plug the patch cord
into the back of the PTI Falcon until after the AC power has been applied.
Plugging the patch cord into the base unit will cause the base unit to be powered from
its internal rechargeable batteries. These batteries may not be fully charged at this
time and could cause the base unit to receive only partial power.
(4) If you have ordered the optional computer interface for the PTI Falcon, install the
computer interface cable between the base unit and your personal computer. If both
ends of the cable have a nine pin connector, check the labels on the connectors to
determine the cable direction.
(5) Plug the base unit power cord into a properly grounded outlet. WARNING: SHOCK
HAZARD! NEVER OPERATE THE PTI FALCON BASE UNIT FROM AN
UNGROUNDED OUTLET OR USE A THREE TO TWO WIRE CONVERSION
ADAPTER WITH THE PTI FALCON! If your office is not equipped with safety
grounded outlets, consult a licensed electrician to have a properly grounded outlet
installed.
(6) Turn on the AC power switch on the rear of the base unit. The default date and time
should appear on the display. Then install the remote patch cord in the connector on
the rear of the base unit and tighten the retaining screws. This will not only complete
the connection to the remote devices, but will allow the internal batteries to begin to
charge. The batteries may require forty eight hours of initial operation of the base unit
before being fully charged.
(7) Apply power to all remote keypads and door alarm boxes and begin testing.
