Field Installation Guidelines
- De-energize all 125 VDC control power feeds and high-voltage generator excitation main power circuits before servicing the enclosure.
- Verify electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection using a grounded wrist strap attached to the metal frame of the EX2100e rack prior to handling the board.
- Align the surface-mount board edge with mounting standoffs inside the exciter cabinet and tighten securing fasteners to ensure physical stability.
- Route signal lines separately from heavy current cabling to prevent electrical noise interference on the 0-20 mA analog output feedback loops.
- Inspect all wiring harness plug connections to 42, 52, or 77 mm thyristor gate structures for complete locking latch engagement.
