Alpha Units and the Remote Alpha Dock System
Air Supply
•
Alpha units being operated in the remote configuration have no operating constraints
that do not also apply to normal operations in the PTC-220.
Installation
•
Turn the dock connector upside down, so that the green circuit board is visible. Check
that the ground lead remains attached at both ends (fig. 11-1). Note the two female multipin sockets, one labeled “DATA,” and the other “POWER.”
•
Connect the multi-pin power cable’s male end to the female socket labeled “POWER”
and slide the latch to lock the pins in place.
•
Both of the data cable’s multi-pin connectors are male: one is labeled “CONNECTOR
DATA” and the other “DOCK DATA.” Attach the “CONNECTOR DATA” end to the female connector labeled “DATA” on the circuit board and slide the latch to lock the pins in
place.
•
Press both cables firmly into the two strain relief holes on the Dock Connector’s front side
(fig. 11-2).
•
Turn the Remote Dock upside down. You will see a male multi-pin connector labeled
“Power Port” and a female multi-pin connector labeled “Data Port” (fig. 11-3).
