Federal Commander Digital System Installation For purposes of this manual, it is assumed that The Commander System CCU and optional radio modem has been received through shipment without damage. If there is any indication of damage to the shipping carton or equipment, notify your carrier about the damage before accepting the shipment. Prepare the Environment Select a clean, dry area in the vicinity of the radio connection. A table or other flat horizontal surface of approximately 8.5 square feet will be required to accommodate the CCU hardware. Be certain that adequate space is provided surrounding the system for ventilation and unrestricted paper movement to the printer. Make sure the room is climate controlled. In regards to temperature and humidity, generally speaking, if a person is comfortable in the room where the CCU is located, the CCU will also be comfortable. Likewise, if the room is too warm for a person, the CCU will also be too warm and may in fact not operate correctly. Normally the maximum temperature for the CCU should not exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Use caution to prevent exposing the CCU components to electrostatic discharge. Do not touch the computer connections, internal parts, or peripheral equipment before first touching a known earth ground. Make sure adequate power is available within a few feet of the CCU. The Commander System should never be connected to the same power source as heavy machinery or other electrically noisy equipment, such as copiers or coffee pots. The electrical transients generated by these types of equipment can interfere with or possibly damage the sensitive circuitry inside the CCU. It is strongly recommended to power the CCU through a true on-line sine wave UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply). This type of device ensures that the CCU will always get clean uninterrupted power. When the commercial power goes off, the UPS provides continuous power from its set of batteries until the commercial power is restored. The UPS should large enough to run all the CCU equipment. Refer the specifications for the computer, monitor, printer, modem and radio when selecting an appropriate UPS. Connect CCU, Printer, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and Optional MIC Follow the instructions provided with the computer, printer and MIC to install this equipment. If the PC will run on a network, make the appropriate LAN connection. Voice Modem Connections The modem is used to provide automated callouts for alarm events and the capability for remote CCU access over phone line. Follow the instructions provided with the modem for installation. The modem will require a standard 4-wire telephone connection cable with a RJ-11 connector on each end. Connect one end to the telephone line jack provided by the local telephone company. Connect the other end to the "Line" connector on the back of the modem. If an external modem is used, connect the modem to the selected COM port of the computer using a null modem serial cable. 30 Installation

Federal Commander Digital System Connect CCU and Optional SS2000D or MODEM-MSK Radio Modem Connect the radio modem using the included cable from the selected COM port of the computer to the DB9 connector on the SS2000D or the USB port of the MODEM-MSK. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the radio modem for further details. For reference, the RS- 232 lines that need to be connected to the SS2000Dare: (1) TX (Transmit), (2) RX (Receive), (3) S.GND (Signal Ground), (4) DTR (Data Terminal Ready). The CCU uses DTR to toggle the radio PTT (Press-To-Talk) line. Connect the Radio Modem to the Base Radio Make the SS2000D or MODEM-MSK connections and calibrate the radio system as specified in the associated product manual. Connect Primary Power The surge suppression outlet box supplied should be connected to a grounded AC outlet. Plug the CCU equipment and optional radio modem into an outlet box with surge suppression. Microsoft Windows R Graphical User Interface The computer supplied comes with Microsoft Windows preinstalled. Install the latest Windows updates before proceeding with the installation. 31 Installation
