Patton electronic 1000RP - Manual (Page 3)

Front (Power Supply) Card Installation
1. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Slide the power supply card into the front of the chassis. It should
meet the rear card when it's almost all the way into the chassis.
3. Push the front card gently into the multipin connector on the
rear card.
4. Secure the front card using the thumb screws.
3.3 REAR CARD POWER CONNECTION - AC VERSIONS
The Model 1000RPEM and 1000RPEM-V rear cards are equipped
with a shrouded male IEC-320 AC power interface. This interface
accepts a domestic US power cord (supplied) or any number of
international power cords (see Appendix B).
3.4 REAR CARD POWER CONNECTION - DC VERSION
The Model 1000RPEM-DC rear card comes equipped with a cage
clamp terminal block. The following instructions will tell you how to
install the rear card.
1. Strip back the insulation on each of the wires .25”.

3.0 INSTALLATION
Patton’s Model 1000RP Series power supply modules are easy to
install and require no configuration. This section describes the
functions of the Model 1000R16P rack chassis, tells how to install front
and rear power supply cards into the chassis and how to make the
power interface connections.
3.1 THE MODEL 1000R16P RACK CHASSIS
The Model 1000R16P Rack Chassis (Figure 1, below) features
sixteen function card slots and one power supply card slot. (Note: refer
to function card user manuals for proper installation of function cards)
Measuring only 3.5” high, the Model 1000R16P is designed to occupy
only 2U in a 19” rack. Sturdy front handles allow the Model 1000R16P
to be extracted and transported conveniently.
3.2 INSTALLING POWER SUPPLY MODULES
All power supply modules (AC or DC) are comprised of two cards:
the front power supply card and the rear power entry card. These two
cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by means
of a multipin connector. (The same holds true for all Patton Cluster
Boxes as well.) Use the following steps as a guideline for installing
each power supply module into the Model 1000R16P rack chassis:
Rear (Power Entry) Card Installation
1. Attach the ground wire using the star washer and the #6-32 nut.
Use a wrench to tighten the nut securely.
2. Slide the power entry card into the back of the chassis along the
metal guide rails provided.
3. Secure the rear card using the #4-40 metal screws provided.

Caution: To avoid shock hazard, do not connect AC
or DC power cable(s) until power supply module is fully
assembled.
Caution: Connect the equipment to a SELV DC
supply source that is electrically isolated from the AC
power sources. The DC power source should also be
reliably connected to earth ground.
