Before you begin, make sure that the module is in good condition. You need the following equipment and tools to install these modules. You need . . . To . . . a Prisma II or Prisma II XD Chassis with provide housing, power, and input/output power supply connections to the module.
Provide ventilation as needed using air-deflecting baffles, forced-air ventilation, or air outlets above enclosures, either alone or in combination. Power Requirements All Prisma II application modules receive their electrical power from the chassis. The modules may be installed with the chassis under power. 78-4015908-01 Rev F...
Space Requirements This is a single-width, half-height module. Actual space requirements depend on whether the module is installed in a standard Prisma II or a Prisma II XD chassis. Prisma II Chassis Installation When installed in a standard Prisma II Chassis, the module is placed in a host module and then inserted into the chassis in slots 5 through 16.
Page 41
Site Requirements Rear-Access Chassis - Front Panel Illustration The following illustration shows the front of the rear-access Prisma II Chassis with two power supplies, 10 full-height modules, and the ICIM installed. Front-Access Chassis - Front Panel Illustration The following illustration shows the front of the front-access chassis with two power supplies, 10 full-height modules, and the ICIM installed.
Chapter 2 Module Installation Prisma II XD Chassis Style The Prisma II XD chassis back panel serves as both a connector panel and a receptacle for AC power supply modules and the ICIM2-XD, when installed. The RF connectors are arranged in numbered pairs to identify the corresponding application module slot.
Complete the appropriate procedure below to connect RF cables for the module. Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack. Standard Prisma II Chassis Note: This procedure assumes a host module with receivers in both lower and upper half-slot positions.
Page 44
If F connectors are installed, use a 7/16-in. open-end wrench to secure all cables to the connectors at the chassis. Prisma II XD Chassis Attach a 75-ohm RF cable to the appropriate RF destination. Locate the RF ports at the back of the chassis.
All Prisma II high-density application modules must be installed in a host module before they can be mounted in a standard Prisma II Chassis. Prisma II host modules prior to Rev C (date codes through A2006) do not support the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
Chapter 2 Module Installation To Install the Module in the Chassis Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack. Locate the fiber guides at the bottom of the chassis and the module guide slots inside the chassis as shown in the following illustration. Align the ridges on the top and bottom of the host module with the guide slots on the chassis.
Fill any unused chassis slots with module blanks to help ensure proper cooling air flow. HD module blanks are available to fill unused host module slots. To Install the Module in a Prisma II XD Chassis Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is installed in a rack.
Page 48
Chapter 2 Module Installation Tighten the screw at the top of the module to secure it in the chassis. Use a 3/8- in. flat-blade screwdriver to secure. Do not over-tighten. Fill any unused chassis slots with module blanks to help ensure proper cooling air flow.
Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source. Ensure that the fiber cable is terminated before "fishing." The Fiber Fish tool that was shipped with the Prisma II Chassis is used to pull an optical cable from the rear of the chassis to the front of the chassis so the optical cables can be connected to optical connectors on the front panel of modules.
Chapter 2 Module Installation CAUTION: Proper operation of this equipment requires clean optical fibers. Dirty fibers will adversely affect performance. Proper cleaning is imperative. The proper procedure for cleaning optical connectors depends on the connector type. The following describes general instructions for fiber optic cleaning. Use your company's established procedures, if any, but also consider the following.
Connecting Optical Cables To Clean Optical Connectors Warning: Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if a transmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisible laser radiation.
Chapter 2 Module Installation To Connect Optical Cables to Module Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack. Important: Observe laser safety precautions. Refer to the Laser Safety information earlier in this guide. Complete the following steps for each optical cable to be connected to the module. Attach one end of the optical cable to the optical input connector located on the front of the module.
ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Connectors Every Prisma II Standard and II XD Chassis has a DB9 ICIM IN and a DB9 ICIM OUT connector for the purpose of chassis-to-chassis ICIM connections. ICIM IN is a female connector and ICIM OUT is a male connector.
Chapter 2 Module Installation To Connect Chassis-to-Chassis ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Ports Connect the serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the chassis containing the ICIM to the ICIM IN connector of the second chassis. Connect a serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the second chassis to the ICIM IN of the third chassis.
RS-485 COM port on the TNCS server. Connect one Prisma II cable assembly (included in the Prisma II cable kit) from the breakout box to the EM IN port of each Prisma II Chassis containing an ICIM2 or ICIM2-XD.
Chapter 2 Module Installation Note: As a general rule, it is recommended that the total number of ICIM2 or ICIM2- XD control units connected to any single COM port on the TNCS server be limited to four (4). However, you may connect more than four ICIM2 or ICIM2-XD control units per TNCS COM port as long as the total number of devices (modules) monitored by a single COM port does not exceed four-hundred (400) and the total number of devices monitored by any single ICIM2 or ICIM2-XD does not exceed 140.
Independent mode operation to provide redundancy. External Alarm Connections The Prisma II Standard and XD Chassis can be configured for local hard-wired redundancy using the ALARM IN and ALARM OUT connectors located on the connector interface panel. A pair of application modules can be configured in a Master-Slave relationship so that, if the Master fails, the Slave takes over in response to ALARM IN and ALARM OUT signaling.
Chapter 2 Module Installation ALARMS IN and ALARMS OUT Connectors Every Prisma II Standard and II XD chassis provides connectors for external alarms to and from each module slot. These alarm connectors are located on the chassis connector panel and are labeled ALARMS IN and ALARMS OUT.
Master/Slave Illustration Redundancy Interface Panel The Prisma II Redundancy Interface Panel is an accessory to the Prisma II platform. It is intended to be used with the master/slave feature and the contact closure alarm feature of the Prisma II platform.
Chapter 2 Module Installation Back Panel Close-up of Front Panel Terminal Strips Independent Mode Redundancy The use of Independent mode to configure redundancy for the module avoids the need for ALARM IN/ALARM OUT hard-wiring to define the Master-Slave relationships between receiver channels. The only additional hardware requirement for Independent mode redundancy is that every chassis in the configuration must be connected to the same ICIM domain using an appropriate interconnect cable (part number 180143 or equivalent) through...
