2-1 Introduction
This section of the manual contains instructions and related data to facilitate the installation of
components of the Genesis II System.
It is recommended that the main units of the Genesis II System, such as the Genesis II Direct Digital
Controller (DDC), MPCII Mid Points Controller and standard Innotech Remote Expansion Modules
(REM) be mounted in steel cabinets to minimise the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Innotech Control Station Module REMs and Wireless Sensor REMs have specific recommendations
for installation described in this section. Networking components, such as computers, printers and
modems, should be installed in accordance with standard computer installation practises.
Because of the designed-in flexibility of the Genesis II System, digital controllers and associated
devices can be installed in a wide variety of configurations, depending on the user’s preference.
For this reason it is not possible to include all the various installation configurations in this manual.
Instead, this manual provides examples of installations that are considered typical.
Innotech recognises that the installation examples described in this manual may not be in total
agreement with the user’s requirements. However, information in this document should be used as
a guide for all installations, regardless of whether the specific circumstances match the examples
given. In all cases, installation personnel should familiarise themselves with the information
contained in this section.
2-2 Physical Descriptions
The following paragraphs contain physical descriptions, including dimensions and installation-
related information, for the main units of the Genesis II System. These paragraphs are intended to
provide the installer with sufficient information to permit proper installation of the various units.
For units of equipment not included in the following paragraphs, refer to the appropriate product
datasheet.
