Installation Instructions for Innotech Genesis Systems
Edition 011100 2-1
SECTION 2- MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
2-1. INTRODUCTION.
This section of the manual contains instructions and related data to facilitate the installation of
components of the Genesis I or Genesis II System. Because of the physical similarities of the two
systems, instructions contained in this section apply equally to the Genesis I and Genesis II
Systems, except where otherwise noted.
It is recommended that the main units of the Genesis System, such as the Digital Controller, Mid
Points Controller, Local Expansion Modules, and Remote Expansion Modules be mounted in
steel cabinets to minimise the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Network
components, such as PCs, printers and modems, should be installed in accordance with standard
computer installation practises.
Because of the designed-in flexibility of the Genesis Systems, they can be installed in a wide
variety of configurations depending on the user’s preference. For this reason it is not possible to
include all the various installation configurations in this manual. Instead, this manual provides
examples of installations that are considered typical. Innotech recognises that the installation
examples described in this manual may not be in total agreement with the user’s requirements.
However, information in this document should be used as a guide for all installations, regardless
of whether the specific circumstances match the examples given. In all cases, installation
personnel should familiarise themselves with the information contained in this section.
NOTE
If required, additional installation recommendations can be provided
from Innotech Control Systems Australia upon request.
2-2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS.

For units of equipment not included in the following paragraphs, refer to the appropriate data
sheet in Appendix B.

2-2.1.1. Genesis II Digital Controller. The Genesis II Digital Controller is used
only with a Genesis II System. The controller’s case is made of ignition-resistant grade
ABS plastic which meets the Fire Rating requirements of AS420. The unit’s electronic
circuit boards are housed in a two-piece plastic case consisting of a base and a lid. The
