Installation
General Considerations
The CommandPLUS Series Desktop Console can be placed on any flat level surface (desk top) that
provides the operator with full visibility of all front panel controls and indicators.
Mechanical Receipt Inspection
The CommandPLUS Series Desktop Console is shipped in a cardboard container with inserts.
Thoroughly inspect it as soon as possible after delivery. In-transit damage should be immediately
reported to the transportation company.
FCC Interference Warnings
The FCC requires that manuals pertaining to Class A and Class B computing devices contain warnings
about possible interference with local and residential radio and TV reception. Please read these warnings
and all safety information in the Foreword section of this manual.

Cable Installation Safety Considerations
Interconnecting, communications, and Class 2 dc power cables should be separated from electrical light
or other Class 1 circuits by at least 2 inches. The exception is where Class 1 wiring or power circuits are
run in a raceway, or are metal-sheathed or metal-clad, or are permanently separated from the conductors
of the other circuitry by a continuous and firmly fixed nonconductor such as porcelain tubes or flexible
tubing in addition to the insulation on the wire. Communications cables and in-building wiring should be
listed and marked for the purpose according to NEC Article 800.
Telephone Line Lightning and Over-voltage Protection
The CommandPLUS Series Console has an over-current phone line fuse which protects against
occasional extreme fault conditions that may get past the primary protectors. An example of such a fault
condition is a power line cross. For maximum surge and lightning protection, building primary (over-
voltage) protectors should be installed at the point where the telephone lines enter the radio equipment
building. Primary protectors are usually required by local codes and should be provided by your leased
line provider.
