2.1 Unpacking and Transportation

Unpacking

For cabinet products, they are packaged in wooden boxes at the factory. After you receive them, please refer to the unpacking instructions provided with the box for disassembly; for products packaged in cartons, please use appropriate tools for unpacking.
It is recommended to keep the complete transport packaging for the lifetime of the device for relocation or return to the manufacture for repair.

Transportation
If you need to transport non-cabinet products, you must pay attention to the following to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.

Before moving, make sure that the cabinet or stand where the equipment will be placed has been fixed and meets the load-bear- ing conditions to avoid tilting and collapsing, causing personnel to be injured, and equipment broken.
Due to the weight of the product, transport by hand should be avoided where possible. If unavoidable, carry it with two people and holding the product shell and not external parts (such as han- dles, electrodes, knobs, etc.).
When carrying, be prepared to bear the weight to avoid sprains or being crushed by heavy objects.
Use suitable safety clothing, especially safety shoes, when carrying the equipment, as due to its weight a fall can have serious consequences.
After unpacking the cabinet product, if you need to move it to other places, you must pay attention to the following matters to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.

The cabinet product is very heavy. Before moving to another loca- tion, confirm whether the ground load is in compliance.

During the process of moving the cabinet, it is recommended that two or more people cooperate and push it slowly and at a constant speed. If you encounter a pit, you need to pay special attention. It is forbidden to push it quickly, otherwise it will easily cause excessive inertia and cause the casters at the bottom of the cabinet to jam and the cabinet to fall.

It is not advisable to push down the slope to prevent the cabinet from

falling down due to the shift of the center of gravity. It is rec- ommended

Inspection and Installation
to use a forklift or crane to move the cabinet.
ITECH 27U and 37U cabinets are equipped with hoisting rings as standard on the top. It is recommended to use a crane equipped with a four-leg hoisting belt structure for horizontal hoisting and moving, and ensure that the four hoisting belts are the same length to avoid cabinet skew during movement.

function of pin according to requirement. The Input and Output are the general digital I/O function, and the parameter settings and functions of the seven pins are the same. The IO-1~IO-7 pins provide default functions. Users can realize control according to the functions defined. Users can also reset the input or output properties of the present pin and customize the function use of the pin according to their needs. When pins 1 to 7 are configured to Output function, when send the command (IO:STATe <1~7>,<0|1>) to instrument, the IO pin can output high level (False) or low level (True). When pins 1 to 7 are configured to Input function, an external signal can be Input to this pin, and the instrument can detect the state of the external signal.
Signal Revert
Select Invert or not under the IO Settings menu. If setting to OFF, it means the default level will be valid. If setting to ON, it means the valid signal is reversed. For example, the IO-1 pin is inhibit output by default and the high level is valid, when select revert ON, the low level is valid and the instrument output is disabled.

Digital IO-1

IO-1 pin can be set to Inhibit-latch,Inhibit-living, Input, Output
The default function is inhibit output. When the IO pin is configured for a Inhibit function and the level signal is low, the output of the machine is forbidden. At this point, Pin 1 has a bi-directional I/O function, which can both receive the level signal input from the external instrument and output the level signal outward.default level is high, and low is valid when entering. Outgoing output also generates low level signals.
Inhibit function has two mode: Latch and Living.
Living: When input an inhibit signal and the instrument output is turned OFF. The status bar of the LCD screen displays INH warning icon and the output is marked as OFF. If power supply output is ON state before, the ON/OFF button will be lit. When the input signal undoes, the output returns to normal. This function can be used to control the output of the power supply.
Latch: When input an inhibit signal and the instrument output is turned OFF. The ON/OFF button will be lighted off, the status bar of the LCD screen displays INH warning icon. In this case, user need to remove the input signal and press [Shift]+[Esc] to clear protection, then manually turn on [On/Off] again.

Digital IO-2

IO-2 pin can be set to PS-clear, Input, Output
The default function is to clear the protected state. When the protection occurs, the protection state can be cleared through this pin, so that the instrument can continue to output normally.
IO-2 is bi-directional, that is, when the power supply is in a protected state, the instrument can receive a pulse signal from an external input through IO-2 for clean protection operation, or when the power supply is in a protected state, the clean protection can generate a pulse signal from IO-2.
