General Information

The 69257-101 Access Panel Interface (API) allows up to eight access panels to be interfaced to an
ADVANCE system. It is installed in a 10457 Series Card Rack and is controlled by a Master Control Unit
(MCU) installed in that same card rack. The API is designed exclusively for use in an ADVANCE system,
and is not intended for use with other types of equipment.

Connections t o the Field Wiring T erminal Blocks

Connections to the API are typically accessed via one 26-pin terminal block module mounted inside the
system’s control cabinet. A ribbon cable connects the terminal block module to the rear of the card rack
housing the API card. The terminal block module connects to the top connector associated with the API;
the bottom connector is unused.

The actual location of the terminals is shown on the control cabinet outline and connection drawings.
Figure 1 illustrates the terminal block assignments. Figure 2 illustrates a connection from the terminal
block to an access panel.
