II. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Next Gen PCS Filter Installation:

a. Turn off the machine you are connecting to the

Next Gen PCS Filter, and unplug the m achi ne’ s power cord from wall outlet.

b. Connect Modem/Fax line: Connect a phone cord from the wall jack to the

“Modem/Fax” modular jack labeled “IN”, and then connect a second phone cord from the “Modem/Fax” modular jack labeled “OUT” to the machine/equipment to be protected.

Please Note: The Next Gen PCS Filter series only provides connectivity and protection for a

single phone line – connecting the Filter to a phone jack with 2 lines using 4-conductor telephone cable may cause Filter malfunction, detailed in Section V: Troubleshooting/Next Gen PCS Filter Hardware.

c. Connect “10/100/1000 ETH ERNET” network line: Connect a CAT5e network

cable from the wall jack to the “10/100/1000 ETHERNET” modular jack labeled

“IN”, and connect a second CAT5e network cable from the “10/100/1000 ETHERNET” modular jack labeled “OUT” to the equipment to be protected.

One CAT5e network cable is included with the Next Gen PCS Filter.

d. Connect Equipment

i. Connect the AC power cord of the equipment to be protected into the

short output power cord of the Next Gen PCS Filter.

ii. For 120V products and XG-PCS-23013: Connect the AC power cords of

additional peripherals into the 2 convenience receptacles next to the short output power cord. Make sure that the total amperage of all equipment plugged into the Next Gen PCS Filter does not exceed the maximum branch circuit rating.

Please Note: Exceeding the branch circuit rating will cause the branch circuit breaker to trip.

e. Connect Next Gen PCS Filter to Outlet: Plug the Next Gen PCS Filter input power

cord into a properly grounded and compatible branch circuit outlet.

Please Note: Do not plug the Filter into a re-locatable power tap.

i. If the branch circuit outlet is correctly wired and the magnitude of the line

voltage is acceptable (between 105 and 130 V between 190 and 250V connected to the outlets of the Next Gen PCS Filter and the Green “System On” LED will illuminate. Your equipment is now protected and installed correctly. You may now turn all connected equipment back on.

ii. If the branch circuit outlet is incorrectly wired, the Red ‘Wiring Fault” LED

will illuminate and the LCD Event Monitor will display specific wiring fault information. If this occurs, contact a licensed electrician to correct the outlet wiring. Refer to Section III: Hardware/Next Gen PCS Filter, for LCD EVENT MONITOR display details.

iii. If neither “System On”, nor the “Wiring Fault” LED illuminates, there is

either no voltage at the receptacle or the magnitude of the line voltage is not acceptable (less than 105 V or less than 190 V

or above 250 V

RMS

magnitude of the line voltage is not acceptable, specific information will be displayed on the LCD EVENT MONITOR. If this occurs, contact a licensed electrician to trouble-shoot the abnormal voltage condition. Refer to Section III: Hardware/Next Gen PCS Filter, for LCD EVENT MONITOR display details.

1.

You may also need to verify that the Filter is operating properly. To test, plug Next Gen PCS Filter into a known properly functioning outlet. If the “System On” LED still does not illuminate in the functioning outlet, contact ESP at 1-800-645-9721.
