REAR PANEL - see Figure 2

External cables are attached to connectors on the rear panel of the CRS-200’s plug-in

modules. These comprise the IEC line input connectors, the Data connectors to each

modem, the User Data Interface connector for each traffic modem to the outside world,

the System Alarms connector, the Remote Control connector, and Auxiliary RS-485

connector.

The IEC line input connector for each Power Supply Module contains the ON/OFF switch

for that module. It is also fitted with two fuses - one each for line and neutral connections (or

L1, L2, where appropriate). These are contained within the body of the connector, behind

a small plastic flap.

For 230 volt AC operation, use T0.5A, (slow-blow) 20mm fuses.

For 115 volt AC operation, use T1A fuses, (slow-blow) 20mm fuses.

FOR CONTINUED OPERATOR SAFETY, ALWAYS REPLACE THE FUSES WITH THE
CORRECT TYPE AND RATING.
