Connecting Power
The ACO-2200 operates from an externally su12VDC power source. A safety earth stud is provided for
earth bonding the chassis if you so require.
Your ACO-2200 includes two ex12VDC power supply blocks to provide you with full redundancy. For full
power security, these should be on separate, independent and secure power grids. However, you still gain the
security of power supply failure redundancy if you use the same power grid for both connections.
Connecting the Power Cable
Connect the power cable to the instrument first, and then connect it to the AC power source. Note that connecting a
live power cable causes the instrument to power on.
Replacing a Power Supply
Since DC power is provided from an external supply, if you need to replace a power supply, simply replace the
faulty external PSU.
Setting the Initial IP Address
The ACO-2200 is remotely controlled over an Ethernet link by a DashBoard client.
When using DashBoard to communicate with the ACO-2200, the ACO-2200 is always configured as a fixed IPv4
device using the DashBoard in conjunction with DIP switches
SW1
and
SW2
on the rear panel.
