LCN System Installation 2-3 9/96
2.2
The desk-side Universal Work Station is protectively wrapped and shipped in a double-
wall pack. Its peripherals are packaged separately.
Refer to publications listed under subsection 1.2 for installation of BASIC System
equipment and UCN Subsystem equipment such as:
• Multifunction Controller (MC)
• Advanced Multifunction Controller (A-MC)
• Process Interface Units (PIU)
• Process Manager (PM)
• Advanced Process Manager (APM)
• Logic Manager (LM)
• Operator Stations
• Data Hiway/Fiber Optic cabling
• Hiway Gateway (HG) cabling
• Network Interface Module (NIM) cabling
• Process I/O-signal wiring
An overview drawing of HG preferred-access cabling is presented in Appendix A.
2.2 PRELIMINARY SITE INSPECTION
Inspect the area in which the equipment is to be installed—refer to the "Preparedness
Checklist" in Section 6 of the LCN Site Planning manual. Check the route from the
delivery point to the final destination for adequate space through hallways, doors, and
around corners. If, for example, the Universal Station cannot negotiate a narrow hallway
or tight corner, it may be necessary to remove the keyboard/panel or table-top assembly
before it can be moved into place. Also, the trend-pen recorder option, mounted above the
CRT shroud, adds approximately two inches to the overall width (front-to-back). See
Appendix A for removal/replacement procedure.
LCN equipment cabinets and the Universal Work Station do not have leveling pads and are
designed to be installed on a level floor. Make sure the floor is level before moving the
equipment into place. Note that LCN equipment cabinets are not designed for eye-bolt
lifting. If cabling is to be run under the false floor, do so before the cabinet is moved into
place. Cabinets can be bolted to the floor, if required. Holes are provided in each corner
of the base.
2.3 STORAGE
If LCN equipment cabinets, Universal Stations, Universal Station
X
s, Universal Work
Stations, and peripherals are to be placed in storage, the environmental constraints specified
in the LCN Site Planning manual, Table 2-1, must be followed, with particular emphasis
on relative humidity and airborne contaminants.
