3.5Line Card Installation
Caution:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock and damage to the receiver, follow these steps
in the order they are listed here.
1. Open the 9800's front panel by unscrewing the four front plate retaining screws located on
the front of the panel. (See Figure 3-1 for front plate retaining screw locations.)
2. Turn off the 9800’s AC power switch (see Figure 3-2 for power switch location).
3. When the front panel is removed, you will see that there are 12 slots for line cards. The
receiver recognizes each slot by number 1 through 12 (slot one is closest to the keypad and
display). It is not necessary to put line cards in numbered order because the receiver continually polls each slot to see if existing line cards are functioning and if it is still in its
slot. The receiver also looks to see if a new line card has been added. Figure 3-6 shows
where each line card should be placed.

at the back of the receiver. Gently push the card as far into the connector as you can. The
card is now in place.
6. Connect telephone line. (See Section 3.7 for telephone line installation.)
Note: Use the tie wrap (P/N 120101 provided with each line card) on the tie wrap holder to add strain relief to
the telephone lines. See Figure 3-3.
7. Power up the 9800.
8. Close the 9800's front panel and tighten the front plate retaining screws to hold the front
plate in place. If you are simply replacing a line card with another card of the same type
and are using the same format settings, your installation is now complete. If not continue
to the next step.
9. Enter programming mode to select the appropriate handshake configuration. (Go to
Section 5.4 for programming procedure.)
3.6Removing Line Cards
If you need to remove a card:
1. Open the 9800's front panel by unscrewing the four front plate retaining screws located on
the front of the panel. (See Figure 3-1 for front plate retaining screw locations.)
2. Turn off the 9800’s AC power switch (see Figure 3-2 for power switch location).
3. With the front panel removed, you will see that there are 12 slots for line cards.
4. Locate the Line Card that you wish to remove.
5. Unplug the telephone line. (See Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7.)
6. From the front side of the receiver pull the line card straight back. This will pull the card
free from the connector.
7. When the card is free, slide it carefully out of the receiver.
Note: If replacing a line card with a new one see Section 3.5 to install the new line card.
8. Power up the 9800.
9. Close the 9800's front panel and tighten the front plate retaining screws to hold the front
plate in place.
10. Enter programming mode to clear the linecard from the system.. (See Section 5.4 for programming procedure.)

See Figure 3-6 for the location of the phone line inputs. Connections to the 9800 phone jacks
are made with a standard 7-foot phone cord (provided with each line card).
Use the following procedure to connect phone lines to the 9810 line cards:
1. Remove the front panel of the 9800 receiver by loosening the front plate retaining screws.
(See Figure 3-1 for front plate retaining screws locations.)
2. From the back side of the receiver insert the telephone line through the corresponding slot
for the desired line card. (See Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7 for phone line slot locations.)
3. Gently push it all the way through to the front side of the receiver.
4. Plug the RJ-11 phone connector into the connector on the 9810 line card. (See Figure 3-6
and Figure 3-7.)
Note: Use the tie wrap (P/N 120101 provided with each line card) on the tie wrap holder to add strain relief to
the telephone lines. See Figure 3-3.
5. Replace the front panel of the 9800 receiver by tightening the front plate retaining screws.
(See Figure 3-1 for front plate retaining screws locations.)
3.8Parallel Printer Connection
The 9800 Receiver connects to model SK320 printer for UL applications. To connect the
SK320 to the 9800 receiver follow these steps:
1. Connect the standard parallel printer cable to the parallel printer port on the back of the
9800 receiver. (See Figure 3-8.)
