Installing the Integrator
Step 1 – Mounting of the Integrator
Carefully remove the Integrator, USB security device (dongle) and power supply from their packaging.
If mounting Integrator directly on to a wall or panel, use the chassis as a template to mark and drill four holes. Screw the
Integrator securely to the even surface using the mounting holes.
Leave a clearance of at least 90mm at the cable and power connection edges of Integrator.
Step 2 – Connect to the Ethernet Network
Attach the Integrator to a 1000/100/10Base-T compatible Ethernet network switch or hub using a CAT-5 cable with RJ45
connector.
Step 3 – Connect Security Device
Connect the blue USB security device (dongle) to the USB port indicated above (below the RJ45 connector).
Step 4 – Apply Power
Connect the power supply to Integrator, using the cable grip to secure in place. Integrator will automatically power-up.
IMPORTANT: Integrator is supplied with a 12VDC 5A power supply. Connecting the power incorrectly or connecting an
inappropriate power supply could damage the board.
DO NOT power-down Integrator by removing the power connector. Always shut-down Integrator by pressing the
power switch.
Step 5 – Connect to the Third Party Devices
Integrator has one RS232 9-way D-type connector and three available USB ports capable of attaching additional serial
ports (see diagram above).
Cables to connect Integrator to the third party system are available from North, order code OBS\CABLE\[system].
CAUTION! Only use USB serial adapters supplied or approved by North Building Technologies (order code
MISC/USB232).
