Grounding and Electrical Safety

CAUTION: AI equipment and its peripherals contain electrostatic sensitive components. Proper handling, shipping, and storage precautions must be exercised:

You must remove and install cards in a static-free environment. Wear an antistatic wrist strap that is plugged into the AI equipment so you are grounded at the same point as the equipment.

Do not remove cards from their antistatic plastic bags until you are ready to install them into the chassis.

Immediately after you remove a card from the chassis, you must insert it into its antistatic bag.

When the cards are not in use, keep them in their antistatic plastic bags.

Do not ship or store cards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, or radioactive fields.

Installation

CAUTION: For AI equipment to operate safely and correctly, there must be a safety ground strap between the equipment ground bolts and the office ground.

Environment

CAUTION: In the event that AI110 has been subjected to adverse environmental conditions, a service inspection of AI110 should be made to ensure safe operation.

Lithium Batteries

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

CAUTION: Il y a risque d'explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie de type incorrect. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions.

FCCThe Federal Communications Commission has set limits for emitted radio interference, and AI110 is constructed with this electromagnetic interference (EMI) limitation in mind. AI110 is classified under FCC regulations as a Class A device, that is, a device for use in commercial environments and not in residential areas. This device has been tested and shown to comply with the following FCC rule: Part 15 Subpart J. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to radio and TV reception, requiring the user to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.

Information is available from the FCC describing possible corrective actions. To maintain low EMI levels, we suggest that you use only metal connectors and shielded cable grounded to the frame.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Installation

Step 3: Attach Chassis GroundConnect the AI110 chassis ground to a suitable ground such as the frame ground of the rack system or to a reliable earth ground.

CAUTION: The chassis ground must be connected to the same earthing electrode conductor as the DC supply system or to a bonding jumper (from an earthing terminal or bus) connected to the earthing electrode of the DC supply system.

The chassis must be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent cabinets) as other equipment connected to the same DC power system and earthing electrode conductor. The DC system cannot be earthed elsewhere.

The DC power source must be located in the same premises as the chassis.

No switching or disconnecting devices can be between the earthed conductor of the DC source and the earthing electrode conductor.

Note: Apply an appropriate antioxidant to the bare conductors before crimping the connector and the connector mating surfaces.

Installation

Step 4: Connect Input PowerTurn off the power supply. Connect the input power feed to the power supply connector B using the A inputs. Be careful to observe polarity. If using a redundant input power feed, connect the other input power cable to connector B using the B inputs.

WARNING: Turn off both power feeds before connecting wires.

CAUTION: A readily accessible disconnect device (suitably approved and rated) must be incorporated in the field wiring.

The DC branch listed circuit breaker must be rated 15 A, maximum at 48 V, minimum.

Figure 6 Connect Input Power

To connect wires:

1. Turn off the power feed.

2. Strip the ends of the wire 5/16 in. (7mm).

3. Loosen the screws at the top of the connector.

4. Insert the wires into the connectors and tighten the screws.

Connector A Connector B

When connecting input power, make sure that you:

Connect to a reliably grounded 48 VDC safety extra-low voltage (SELV) source

Use 14 AWG copper conductors only

Installation

Step 5: (optional) Connect External Alarm DevicesConnect the external alarm signaling devices to the alarm relay contacts. The normally-opened or normally-closed outputs can be used to trigger external alarm devices.

Note: The relay output will be in the alarm condition until power is applied to the unit.

WARNING: Turn off the power feed before connecting wires.

Figure 7 Connect External Alarm Devices

To connect wires:

1. Turn off the power feed.

2. Strip the ends of the wire 5/16 in. (7mm).

3. Loosen the screws at the top of the connector.

4. Insert the wires into the connectors and tighten the screws.

These contacts operate if the power supply fails or input power is lost.

These contacts operate if the chassis overheats.

Contact rating:1 A at 50 VDC, maximum, resistive load.

Use appropriate wire size for application

Step 6: Install Line Card

CAUTION: Personnel handling cards must wear an antistatic wrist strap and follow electrostatic procedures.

To install the line card into the chassis:

1. Position the card so the components are face up.

2. Align the card with the card guides of the chassis.

3. Gently slide the card into the chassis.

4. Firmly press the faceplate of the card until the internal connectors engage.

5. Tighten the two thumbscrews to secure the card to the chassis.

Step 7: (optional) Configure IP Address on a Line CardConfiguring the IP address on a line card allows the card to be accessed remotely. For complete configuration information, refer to the user documentation for the specific card.

Connecting1. Set the terminal emulation software on the PC/terminal emulator for 9600 baud,

no parity, eight data bits, one stop bit, no flow control.

2. Using a terminal cable, connect the PC/terminal to the connection port for the product (see Table 1).

Calculating Power Consumption and Heat DissipationThe following procedure describes how to calculate power consumption and heat dissipation for AI110.

CAUTION: Personnel handling cards must wear an antistatic wrist strap and follow electrostatic procedures.

1. Using Table 2, enter a 1 in the quantity field to the right of the name of the line card in the chassis. Multiply the Watts per Card by 1. Enter the amount in the Subtotals field to the right of the name of the line card in the chassis. Add the subtotal of the card and the subtotal of the chassis to obtain the total card consumption. (A value for the chassis has been added to the table.)

Table 2 Calculating Total Card Consumption

Card Watts per Card Quantity Subtotals

AI232 11.50 x __________ = ________ W

AI296 16.20 x __________ = ________ W

AIconnect (one PMC) 17.00 x __________ = ________ W

AIconnect (two PMCs) 24.50 x __________ = ________ W

AIextend 9.50 x __________ = ________ W

AIfirewall 9.50 x __________ = ________ W

AIfirewall (one PMC) 17.00 x __________ = ________ W

AIfirewall (two PMCs) 24.5 x __________ = ________ W

AIflex (all models) 27.00 x __________ = ________ W

AIfocus 3210 13.00 x __________ = ________ W

AIwan T1/E1 6.00 x __________ = ________ W

Chassis 6.90 x 1 = 6.90 W

Total Card Consumption = ________ W

14


2. Calculate the total power draw. Using Table 3, enter the Total Card Consumption obtained in Table 2. Multiply by the typical power supply loss factor at full load to obtain the total power draw in Watts.

3. Calculate the total chassis heat dissipation. In Table 4, enter the value obtained inTable 3. Multiply the Total Power Draw by the conversion factor 3.41 to obtain the Total Chassis Heat Dissipation in Btu/Hr.

Calculating Current DrawUse these steps to calculate the actual current that AI110 draws from the power source. Calculations are based on the Total Chassis Power. This total current is used by the site engineer to determine power plant capacity requirements.

Calculating Actual DC Current DrawTo find the actual DC current draw of AI110:
