Figure 2.6 – Preassembled Backplate Installation Basics
If you use the preassembled backplate, you’ll connect the sensor or sensors to the terminal
blocks on the bottom row of the backplate. e Click devices on the upper row will provide
surge protection and clean DC power for the devices, as well as RJ-11 jacks that you’ll con-
nect to contact closure cards in an input le rack. is rack will then send detection data
on to the controller.
Note
There are a few alternate versions of the preassembled backplate: the preassembled
19-inch rack for server racks and the intersection segmented preassembled backplate
for easier installation in trac cabinets (this device has the necessary components
spread across a few smaller backplates; these can be helpful in cabinets where space
is tight because they don’t require such a large block of space to be made available).
For more information about the preassembled backplate, see Appendix D in this guide.
Terminating SmartSensor 6-conductor Cables
Each of the cabinet solutions discussed up to this point uses the same method for terminat-
ing the 6-conductor cable coming from each sensor: they must be landed into plugs that t
the terminal blocks on the backplate and the sensor ports on the cabinet interface devices.
(see Figure 2.7 and Table 2.1).
