 General Information

2. General Information
The 3500/08 Diagnostics Access Panel is an accessory for use with the 3500
Monitoring Systems installed in EMI shielded cabinets. The Diagnostics Access
Panel makes the buffered outputs that are available on the front of the 3500
System more accessible.
The Diagnostics Access Panel uses a 4.6 m (15 ft) patch cable to connect the
panel to the 3500 Monitoring System. A Y-Cable is available so that the panel
can be connected to the 3500 System and a TDIX/DDIX communications
Processor through the same dynamic data port.
The Diagnostics Access Panel contains six columns of four BNC connectors to
send out the buffered output signals that are normally available on the front of
the monitor. There is also a set of two BNC connectors that bring out the
Keyphasor® buffered output signals. The signals available on a column of
connectors depend on how you configure the 3500 system. A kit of labels comes
with the panel and is used to identify the signal assignment to a physical
connector. One set of labels in the kit is for identifying the 3500 slot that the
signals come from and another is for identifying the transducer source of the
signals. The Diagnostics Access Panel, Patch Cable, Y-Cable, and the
Keyphasor® Adapters are illustrated below.

 Installation Instructions

3. Installation Instructions
The 3500/08 Diagnostics Access Panel was designed to be installed in an EIA
19 inch rack. The user supplies the screws for this. Dimensions for the
Diagnostics Access Panel are provided on page 5.

3.1 Installing Cabling to the 3500 System

This section describes how to connect the Diagnostics Access Panel to a 3500
Monitoring System. The Y-Cable is only required for systems that are used in
conjunction with a TDIX or DDIX communications processor. However, it may be
installed as described below for future use.

 Installation Instructions

3.1.1 Installing the Y-Cable

For 3500 systems that are configured for options two, three, and four (see
section 4.1) attach the Y-Cable to the Dynamic 1 connector on the Data
Manager I/O Module. For 3500 systems that are configured for option one,
attach the Y-Cable to the Dynamic 1 connector for access to information from
monitors found in slots two through seven, or to the Dynamic 2 connector for
information from slots eight through thirteen. To install the Y-Cable, plug the
single end of the cable into the appropriate Dynamic connector on the Data
Manager I/O module and tighten the screws to fix the cable in position.

Dynamic 1
The Dynamic 1 connector is used for racks
configured for options two through four,
and for access to rack slots two through
seven when the system is configured for
option one.

Dynamic 2
The Dynamic 2 connector is used for racks
configured for option one. This connector
provides access to slots eight through
thirteen.

 Installation Instructions

3.1.2 Installing the Diagnostics Access Panel Patch Cable

1. For applications that require the Y-Cable, ensure that it is fixed securely in
position on the appropriate Dynamic Data connector on the Data Manager
I/O Module.
2. If a Y-Cable is used, plug the 25-pin connector on the Diagnostics Access
Panel Patch Cable into one of the ends of the Y-Cable. If a Y-Cable is not
used, plug the 25-pin connector directly into the appropriate Dynamic Data
connector on the 3500 Data Manager I/O Module. Fix in position by
tightening the lock screws.

 Installation Instructions

3. Connect the bare wire leads of the Keyphasor® Adapters into the plug
marked BUFFERED KPH on the Keyphasor® I/O Module. The plug used
should be on the half of the Keyphasor® I/O module that corresponds to the
Keyphasor® monitor that supplies the Keyphasor® signals needed on
Diagnostics Access Panel. To connect the bare wire leads turn the lock
screw on the green plug counterclockwise to open the wire port, insert the
wire, and tighten the lock screw as shown below.

4. Install the red leads of the Keyphasor® Adapters into the ports on the plug
labeled BUF 1 and BUF 2, and the black leads into the ports labeled COM as
shown below.

5. Connect the Diagnostics Access Panel Patch Cable coaxial cables to the
installed Keyphasor® Adapters. Insert the coaxial lead marked KPH 1 onto
the adapter with the red lead installed into the BUF 1 port on the Keyphasor®
I/O Module, and rotate the bayonet collar to lock the cable in place. Similarly,
install the lead marked KPH 2 onto the adapter with the red lead installed in
the port labeled BUF 2.

 Installation Instructions

3.1.3 Installing the TDIX/DDIX Cable

If a TDIX or DDIX Communications Processor will be used in conjunction with
the 3500/08 Diagnostics Access Panel, the cable will be connected to the loose
end of the previously installed Y-Cable. Plug the cable ends together and tighten
securely with the lock screws as was done to connect the Y-Cable to the 3500
system.

3.2 Connecting the Patch Cable to the

Diagnostics Access Panel
This section shows how to connect the Patch Cable to the Diagnostics Access
Panel and how to assemble the strain relief hardware.

3.2.1 Installing the Patch Cable

1. Position the slide latch on the 37-pin connector to the open position as
shown below.

2. Insert the cable end into the connector on the back of the Access Panel with
the cables oriented toward the strain relief.
3. Slide the latch in the opposite direction to lock the latch and secure the
connector to the Access Panel.
Place the strain relief block under the set of cables with the cables resting in the
V-groove. Place the cable clamp over the cables and insert the two screws
through the assembly to bind in place using the threaded holes on the Access
Panel.

 Labeling Panel Connections

4. Labeling Panel Connections

The Diagnostics Access Panel comes with a labels kit that lets you label the
Access Panel so that the slot descriptions correspond to the actual rack
locations of the monitors that will provide buffered signal outputs. The front of
the Diagnostics Access Panel features label placement outlines that help to
position the labels provided with the panel according to the needs that are
specific to the situation.

4.1 Slot Designation Labels

This section shows how to use the slot designation labels to identify the 3500
Monitoring System slot that provides the signals to the individual columns of
connectors on the Diagnostics Access Panel. Above each column of connectors
on the panel is a set of placement outlines that help to squarely position the
desired labels. The labels should completely cover all positioning marks on the
front panel. Place one label edge slightly over one side of the guidelines. Line
the label edge up with the mark and press the label in place.
The configuration of the 3500 system determines the monitoring system slot
information that will be available on each of the columns of the Diagnostics
Access Panel. The relationship between the connectors on the panel and the
monitors in the 3500 rack is determined by the following factors:
• the configuration setting for the Dynamic Signal Option on the channel option
screen for the 3500 Rack Configuration Software (An outline of the Dynamic
Signal Options is provided on the following page.)
• the dynamic port on the Data Manager I/O Module that the panel is
connected to
Use the following table to determine how to label the connectors:

4.2 Signal Source Labels

The signal source labels identify the source of the signals that are found on each
of the connectors on the panel. Both one inch and two inch labels are provided.
The one inch labels are pre-marked for the two Keyphasor® channels that are
available on the first column on the panel and the two inch labels are marked for
the four channel columns that comprise the remaining six sets of connectors. All
of the labels have space provided to write in information that identifies the
source of the signal for each channel. This is more easily done before the labels
are attached to the panel. Each set of connectors has placement outlines on the
front panel for placing the labels.

5. User Defined Interface

If the standard Diagnostics Access Panel Interface Cable is not compatible with
a specific application then a custom cable may be assembled following the
instructions in this section. This section provides the necessary information to
route the buffered transducer output signals from the 3500 Monitoring System to
any termination scheme.
The signals carried on the pins of the Data Manager I/O Module Dynamic
connector depend on the way the 3500 Monitoring System has been configured.
All possible configurations for the 3500 system are outlined in section 4.1. The
following tables list the signals available and the Dynamic connector pins that
carry them for each system configuration possibility.
