(requires APPBRKT communications bracket, sold
separately)
1. Turn controller AC power off with the AC power switch
in the pedestal.
2. Open the facepack frame in the top of the pedestal, to
expose the communications module mounting area.
3. Install the APPBRKT communications bracket with its
supplied mounting hardware. This bracket is designed
to hold the Com module and a RAD3 radio module (if
radio is required).
4. Install the ACC-COM-xxx into the APPBRKT mounting
bracket. Secure the Com module with screws on each
of the 4 corners.
RADIO INSTALLATION, ADDITIONAL STEPS
• If radio communications will be used, connect the
RAD3 radio module cables to the Com module with its
ribbon cable and power connector first.
• Install the Com module into the bracket, and then
install the RAD3 on the APPBRKT with supplied
hardware.
• Install IMMS-ANT-2 in pedestal lid.
• Route antenna cable from the IMMS-ANT-2 through
the slot in the metal frame for the facepack, down into
the controller to the radio location.
• Connect the cable connector to the radio module
(be sure to turn the BNC connector until it locks into
place).
• Install the plastic cable guide (P-) with self tapping
screw as shown. Adjust cable before tightening to
insure that there is only enough slack to allow the lid
to open and close, without causing the cable to be
pinched.
5. Connect the ACC-COM-xxx ribbon cable extension to
the controller facepack connection on the underside
of the facepack frame. This is the keyed 14-pin
connector, top left, above the main facepack ribbon
connection.
6. When using the ACC-COM-POTS connect the RJ-11
telephone cable to the telephone service mating
receptacle. In high lightning environments, the
telephone cable may be connected through a grounded
surge suppression device (some computer power
strips have these built in).
7. Reapply controller power and verify that all devices
power up and have displays. Proceed to Setup and
Addressing of the Com module, in the next section.
8. Insert the ACC-COM module into the opening where the
logo cover was, with the display and buttons protruding
through the opening. Secure with 4 screws (supplied)
on each corner. The screws are recessed and a small
magnetic tip screwdriver is very helpful for this task.
9. Carefully insert the modular ribbon connector plug into
the mating receptacle in the door frame. This connector
is keyed and has slots which must be aligned correctly,
so that the connector can only fit one way. Press firmly
to make sure that the connector is fully seated.
RADIO CONNECTIONS, ADDITIONAL STEPS
• Before installing the RAD3 radio module, connect the
DB-9 connector from the ribbon cable to the top of the
RAD3 radio and secure with the connector screws (do
not overtighten).
• Connect the radio power cable from the RAD3 radio to
the radio power connection on the bottom of the Com
module.
• Connect the male BNC radio antenna connector to
the RAD3, before installing the radio into the radio
compartment.
• Install the radio into the radio compartment (see
RAD3 installation instructions for additional
information).
Reapply controller power and verify that the Com module
display lights up and displays characters.
If there is no display:
1. Double check ribbon cable connection from Com
module to facepack door frame receptacle.
2. Double check ribbon cable from facepack door frame
to controller cabinet.
