NetLinx Master Cards and Modules
Installation and Wiring
This section contains information about installing the NetLinx Modules and Master Cards, wiring
diagrams, and pinouts for assembling cables.
Mounting the Modules Into an Equipment Rack
To install the NXS-MHS Modules in an equipment rack, you'll need an optional AC-RK Kit:
1. Remove the front panel from the Module to expose the mounting holes.
2. Mount the module on the AC-RK bracket.
3. Place the AC-RK bracket (with the module) in the equipment rack and secure the bracket to the
rack.
4. Replace the front panel to the Module, and reattach the magnetic faceplate (if necessary).
Mounting the Master Cards in an NXF CardFrame or NXI
The Master Cards can be installed in a NetLinx CardFrame (NXF), or NetLinx Integrated
Controller (NXI). In both cases, the card mounts in a horizontal position, through the master slot on
the rear panel of the enclosure. FIG. 12 shows the Master Card slots on the NXF CardFrame.
FIG. 13 shows the Master Card slots on the NXI Integrated Controller.
To install a Master Card in an NXF CardFrame or NXI Integrated Controller:
1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.
2. Unplug all the connectors from the Controller or Module.
3. Remove the two screws that hold the front plate on the Master Card; remove the front plate.
4. Align the edges of the card with the guide slots inside the Master Card slot on the NXF or NXI.
5. Slide the card about halfway into the slot.
