2. Installation
Introduction
This chapter contains information and instructions required to
prepare the TxPORt 2100 CSU for use, Included are initial
inspection procedures, mounting instructions, configuration
guidelines, connection instructions, and powering information.
Throughout this manual, all factory default settings are
underlined.
Safety Summary
This manual contains information and warnings that must be
followed to ensure safe operation and to retain the equip-
ment in a safe condition.
The WARNING sign denotes a hazard
to the operator. It calls attention to a
procedure or practice which if not correct per-
formed or adhered to, could result in injury or
loss of life. Do not proceed beyond a WARN-
ING sign until the indicated conditions are
fully understood and met.
Follow proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) pro-
cedures while handling the circuit boards.
Unpacking and Inspection
This unit is carefully packaged to prevent damage in ship-
ment. Upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for
damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is
damaged, notify the carrier immediately and make a nota-
tion on the delivery receipt that the container was damaged
(if possible, obtain the signature and name of the person
making delivery). Retain the packaging material until the
contents of the shipment have been checked for complete-
ness and the instrument ha been checked both mechanically
and electrically.
If the contents of the shipment are incomplete or, if there is
mechanical damage or defect, notify TxPORT. If the ship-
ping container is also damaged, or the cushioning material
shows signs of stress, notify the carrier of the damage as
well as TxPORT. Keep the shipping materials for carrier’s
inspection. TxPORT will arrange for repair or replacement
without waiting for claim settlement.
Supplied Materials
The TxPORT 2100 CSU is shipped from the factory with the
2100 CSU reference guide.
The following additional material may be required for the
installation and operation of the unit:
• -48 VDC power source
• Network and DTE interface cables
• Bantam test cables
• 20-gauge stranded wire (or similar) for DC power and alarm
connection
For specific applications, additional adapters and cables may
be required. The interface requirements of any application
may be met by using the appropriate cable. Standard cables
and ordering numbers are listed in Optional Equipment on
page 1-4. Contact TxPORT for any needed assistance in
cable selection.
Mounting
The TxPORT 2100 CSU is a modular unit that plugs into
either single unit housing or into a chassis that holds up to
12 CSUs. Single units are designed for standalone desktop
use, wall mounting, or rack mounting (in either a vertical or
horizontal orientation). The CSU utilizes an interchange-
able front panel to accommodate the chassis card cage.
Standalone Unit
To access the circuit boards and configuration switches, per-
form the following steps:
1. Remove the front panel cover by opening the front panel
access door and gently spreading the plastic from the
middle using both hands.
2. Pull the two sides of the plastic cover from the middle
outwards until the four stops are clear of the front panel.
Pull the cover off the front panel.
3. Remove the two Phillips-head screws from the front
panel and pull the front panel and circuit boards out of
the housing. Observe the proper electrostatic discharge
procedures while handling the circuit boards.
The standalone unit may be used in a chassis installation
with the following modifications:
1. Remove the housing as described in the procedure above
and then remove the four screws holding the front panel
to the circuit boards
