Refer to Figure 7 for the location of the modules within the 214246-006MD cabinet.
2.3.1 Power Supply Modules
2.3.1.1 Power Supply
The Power Supply Modules convert 90 to 260VAC 50-60Hz input voltages into 24VDC voltage supplying power to all controller modules.
Power is applied using the ON/OFF switches in the rear panel power input sections. AC input has a 2A fuse in line. To replace a fuse, remove the plastic cap in the rear panel AC module, replace the fuse and reinsert the plastic cap.
WARNING!!
Make sure the power is OFF before attempting to replace fuses.
2.3.2 Master Controller
The Master Controller communicates with the up link and down-link systems via RS-485 Serial Interface It provides all System telemetry to the user via front panel or RS-232 or RS-485 User Interface.
2.3.3 Front panel
The Front panel displays all System telemetry to the user via front panel LED and VFD graphic display. Refer to 3.2 for details.

3 Installation & Operation
Use the information in this section as a guide when making electrical connections to the 214246-006MD.
NOTE
Switch off main power to the unit before attempting to connect or disconnect interface cables. Failure to do so could damage the equipment involved.
3.1 Installation
The IDU controller is a standard 2 RU chassis, which can be mounted in an EIA-standard 19-inch equipment rack. If the controller is to be mounted in a rack, be sure to allow adequate clearance at the rear of the unit for attaching the cables.
NOTE
Recommended clearance above and below the unit is 3.5 inches. Allow a minimum clearance of 1.75 inches.
CAUTION!
Do not mount the unit using only the front panel mountings -the unit is too heavy. Failure to properly support the unit from front to back will deform the front panel and cause internal mechanical damage.
