After unpacking, inspect the units for mechanical damage, and all electrical
connectors for bent or damaged pins and latches. Report any damage to the
carrier and to Telecast Fiber Systems, Inc.
Leave the protective caps on the optical connectors until it is time to attach the
fiber to the units. Replace the caps whenever the fiber is disconnected.
Attaching the Rack Mount Adapters
Units are shipped ready for rack use. Each adapter is held in place by two #10
flat head screws; see Figure 1.
Figure 1: Installing the Rack Mount Adapters
Place each unit in its intended location before attaching any cables or wires to
prevent accidental damage to the cables or their connectors.
Line Power
Any power supply used with the DiamondBack 2 must provide a minimum of 1.5
amperes, continuous, at 12 to 24 VDC. Although the units will operate at 12
VDC, 13.8 VDC is required to charge the internal UPS battery. This battery
charges whenever the input voltage is 13.8 VDC or higher. Full charge takes
approximately 16 hours.
Power input is through a 4-pin XLR connector located on the left side of the rear
panel; see Table 1 for pinout and Figure 2 for location. Be sure that AC outlets
are within reach of their 6-foot power cords.
