Installation

Electrical Connections
Refer to the diagram below to connect the 508 to another Gilson instrument
using a GSIOC cable.
With additional GSIOC cables, you can connect as many as 32 devices. To connect
additional GSIOC cables, connect the male connector to the next cable’s female
connector (use the female connector that’s not joined to the male connector).
Then connect the remaining female connector to the GSIOC port of the device.
Cables should be arranged in a linear fashion. Any “Y-branching” from the main
GSIOC cable may increase noise.
Power
After you’ve made all the necessary connections, attach the power connector to
the POWER input of the interface module and the transformer to a wall outlet.
Since the interface module is designed to be left on at all times, it does not have
a power switch. If you prefer to have a power switch, a switched power outlet
strip is recommended.
The Power light indicates that power is being supplied to the unit.
Euro plug adapter
Locate the Euro Plug Adapter (part number 594505121) supplied with the 508
Interface Module. If necessary, attach to the power cord to connect the interface
module to an AC power source.
