SAFETY RULES
Keep this document for any further reference.
As regards the characteristics of this module, refer to the Volume 1 of
the same module
After unpacking the equipment, save all the accessories so that they
cannot be lost. Check that the module is integral, with no visible
damage.
Before powering the card for entering faults with the voltage, check that
the power cables are correctly connected to the power supply.
Use this equipment exclusively for the aims which it has been expressly
designed for, that is, for educational purpose; furthermore it must be
used under the direct responsibility of a skilled staff. Any other use is
not proper, therefore it is dangerous. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage due to improper, erroneous or irrational
uses.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Mechanical connections
1. Fix the module to the lower part of the horizontal Box or of the
Vertical Frame (fig. 2.1)
2. fix one of the Units SIS1, SIS2 or SIS3 to the upper part of the
horizontal Box or of the Vertical Frame (fig. 2.1) or, in option,
connect the Unit SIS1C directly to the 37-pin connector of the
module
2.2 Electrical connections
3. Connect one of the Units SIS1, SIS2 or SIS3 to the module
(through the proper cable), or check whether the Unit SIS1C is
connected to the 37-pin connector of the module
4. connect the jacks of +12 V, -12 V and Ground of the Module to the
corresponding outputs of a power supply (fig. 2.2a)
or
if our power supply mod. PSU/EV is used, connect the Module to
this power supply with the proper cable of the equipment (fig. 2.2b)
5. Connect the transformer to the three-phase line.
