Quick Reference Guide
Grounding the System
You ground the system by running a solid copper wire from the processor
module to an appropriate earth ground. Follow these steps to ground the system:
1 Attach one end of a #12 AWG or #14 AWG solid copper wire to the
grounding screw on the processor module. The length of the wire must not
exceed 35 feet (7.6 meters).
2 Route the wire through the wire manager on the front of the module.
3 Attach the other end of the wire to the approved earth ground, such as
building steel or a cold water pipe.
Inserting Batteries in the Processor Module
The processor module uses two AAA-size standard alkaline batteries to guard
against the loss of system programming in case of a power failure. These
batteries retain the system programming for 45 days to six months, depending
on the freshness of the batteries. You should replace the batteries every year.
CAUTION:
Batteries and battery cover are packaged in a separate box. If you are
replacing batteries, the old batteries must be removed with the power on or
the system’s memory will be lost.
Follow these steps to insert the batteries:
1 Locate the battery compartment at the bottom of the PARTNER ACS
processor module, below the extension jacks.
2 Push gently on the battery icon (the locking latch) and slide the battery icon
up to cover the plus icon; this unlocks the battery assembly.
3 Remove the battery assembly by gently pulling the tab at the bottom of the
battery compartment cover.
The configuration of the 1600 DSL module is not backed up to the
PCMCIA card. Instead, the configuration is retained in the flash memory
of the 1600 DSL module.
