Step 3: Mount MV-6

To rack mount the machine, attach both rack ears (by removing the screws from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the rack ears) or place the machine on a table.

• Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is compatible for the device.

• Avoid uneven mechanical loading.

• Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be

used for avoiding overloading of the circuits.

• Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Step 4: Connect inputs and outputs

Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your MV-6.

RS-232 Connection:

Use a 9-wire straight cable and connect only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC.

A null-modem adapter/connection is not required.

Step 5: Connect power

Connect the power cord to MV-6 and plug it into the mains electricity.
