7. Hardware Installation
This section describes how MCN modules are installed into a system. All MCN
modules follow the same basic installation procedure. Some modules may have
additional installation requirements. Refer to the module’s hardware reference
manual for any additional installation information.
Below is a list of steps required for installing an MCN system.
Step Operation
1 Determine the addresses of all MCN modules. Refer to section
7.1.1, Address Planning.
2 Set Group and Module number for each module. Refer to section
7.1, Setting the Unit Address.
3 Set option switches for each module and Receiver Bank number for
IIB modules. Refer to the hardware reference manual of the
particular module being installed. Note that the addresses for HIB
modules are entered into the PC when the Remote Comparator
Display software is installed.
4 Mount all modules at their proper location. Refer to section 7.3,
Mounting Options.
5 Route the network cables to connect the modules and install
terminators at each end of the network. Refer to section 7.4,
Network Cabling.
6 Connect power supplies to the modules. Refer to section 7.5, Power
Requirements.
7 Connect the Comparator I/O Modules to their respective
comparators. Refer to the module’s hardware reference manual.
8 Connect the User Interface Modules to their operator stations. Refer
to the module’s hardware reference manual.
9 Check the hardware reference manual of each module to see if any
additional installation setups are required.
10 Power up the system and verify that, for all modules, the PWR LED
is ON, the ACT LED is ON or blinking and the ERR LED is OFF
(the ACT LED of an HIB module will blink only if the MCN
Remote Comparator Display runtime software is running on the PC
and a screen configuration screen is loaded). Refer to section 8.1 for
a description of these LEDs.
11 Test the system for proper operation. Refer to section 11 for
troubleshooting hints if the system is not working properly.
