Installation and Upgrading

NetLinx Integrated Controllers

Installing the Integrated Controller into an Equipment Rack

Use either the rack-mounting brackets (supplied with the NI-4000/3000/2000 controller) for

equipment rack installations. Remove the mounting brackets for flat surface installations.

1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.

2. Position and install the mounting brackets, as shown in FIG. 22, using the screws supplied with

the unit. The mounting brackets can be rotated to accommodate your mounting needs.

3. Thread the necessary cables (from their terminal locations) through the opening in the

equipment rack. Allow for enough slack in the cables to accommodate for movement during the

installation process.

4. Connect any corresponding DB9, CAT5, and mini-Phoenix connectors to their appropriate

locations on the rear of the Integrated Controller. Refer to the Connections and Wiring section

on page 17 for more detailed wiring and connection information.

 Verify that the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to the a power supply

before plugging in the 2-pin power connector.

5. Test the incoming wiring by connecting the Controller connectors to their terminal locations

and applying power. Verify that the unit is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent

repetition of the installation.

6. Disconnect the terminal end of the power cable from the connected power supply.

Before completing the install process, it is recommended that you complete any

firmware upgrade of the NetLinx Control Cards. This upgrade involves physically

cycling power to the unit and can become cumbersome if the unit is already installed

into a rack. Refer to the Upgrading the Controller and NXC Firmware section on

page 49 for more detailed information.
