Installing the CS90 topside cables
The topside/bridge cables include those used to connect the CS90 Processor Unit and the display to each other, to AC mains power, and to external devices. Two high capacity Ethernet cables connect the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit.
Procedure
1 Prepare the power cables, but do not connect any units to AC mains power.
a Connect the power cable from the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the AC power outlet. (C1)
b Connect the power cable from each display to the power outlet on the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). (C2)
c Connect the power cable from the Processor Unit to the power outlet on the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). (C3)
d Connect the power cable from the Operating Panel to the power outlet on the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). (C5)
e (Optional) Connect the power cable from the Operating Panel Power Supply to the power outlet on the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). (C4)
Standard commercial AC mains cables are used. Each cable is supplied with the relevant unit. The typical cable length is between 1,5 and 2 meters. If this is too short you must use an extension cable (not recommended), mount a new power outlet within range, or make your own power cable with sufficient length.
Both power cables used with the Operating Panel Power Supply are physically attached to the unit.

2 Connect the ground cables.
a Connect the ground cable from the Processor Unit to vessel ground. (C6)
b (Optional) Connect the ground cable from the Operating Panel (Mk1) to vessel ground. (C10)
These cables must be provided by the installation shipyard. For more information, see the cable details:
The Operating Panel is not connected to vessel ground.
3 Connect the video cables from the Processor Unit to each display. (C9)
The display cable is often physically attached to the display, and terminated in the “computer end” with a male connector. If the cable is not attached, it is normally provided with the display.
The graphic adapter on the rear side of the Processor Unit provides two DVI connectors, one for HDMI and two for Mini DisplayPort. Choose the connector that fits your display cable. If you have two displays both can be connected simultaneously, and can use the operating system functionality to set up different presentations.
Keep the display cable as short as possible. If the cable is too long, it may pick up electric noise, and this will reduce the image quality.

4 Connect the Ethernet cable from the Processor Unit to the Operating Panel (Mk2). (C12)
5 (Optional) Connect the control cables from the Processor Unit to the Operating Pane (Mk1). (C15, C16, C17)
The control cables between the Operating Panel and the Processor Unit are provided with the CS90 delivery. For more information, see the cable details:
6 Connect the Ethernet cables from the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit. (C8)
Two high capacity Ethernet cables connect the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit. The maximum length of each Ethernet cable from the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit is 100 meters.
Note
It is very important that high-quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use CAT-5E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) quality or better. If you use cables with lower bandwidth capacity you will reduce the CS90 performance. Do not connect the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit using an existing local area network (LAN).
For more information, see the cable details:
7 Connect the serial cables from the Processor Unit to the relevant external devices. (C13)
8 If applicable, connect the signal cable from the Processor Unit to the synchronization system. (C13)
9 If applicable, make the relevant connections to enable the "Emergency hoist" functionality.
Emergency hoist functionality is provided by the Hull Unit Control circuit board in the Motor Control Unit. We do not offer any optional products or kits to put this functionality to use. In order to use the emergency hoist functionality you will need to design your own interface and switch box.
