INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: The option and main circuit boards contain static sensitive components.
Before handling the cards, discharge static charges from your body
by touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally, handle the cards at
a static controlled clean workstation. Also, handle the cards by the
edges only. Dirt, oil, or other contaminants that may contact the cards
can adversely affect circuit operation.
Warning: Depending upon the G3 operator interface, high voltage may
be present inside the operator interface. Be sure to remove all power
before removing the rear cover of the operator interface.
Each G3MPI option card comes with three screws for attaching the option
card to the inside of the G3 operator interface’s
rear cover.
To install the option card remove all
power and I/O communications cables
from the unit. The G3 operator interface
literature contains instructions for
removing the rear cover, refer to the
“Battery & Time Keeping” section.
Using the three screws provided
connect the option card to the rear
cover as shown in Figure 1.
Connect the cable from the option
card to CN11 on the main board of the
G3 operator interface as shown in
Figure 2. Be sure both ends of the
cables are firmly seated into their
appropriate connector housing.
Carefully replace the rear cover
by reversing the instructions for
removing the rear cover.
