and the input devices.

5Set the audio gain and attenuation. See the "Set input audio level" SIS commands in chapter 4, "Remote Control".

Mounting the Switcher

CInstallation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

The 1-inch high, quarter-rack width switcher can be placed on a tabletop, mounted on a rack shelf, mounted under a desk or tabletop, or mounted on a projector bracket.

Tabletop placement

Affix the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.

Rack mounting

For optional rack mounting, mount the switcher on any of the following rack shelves:

•RSF 123 3.5-inch deep rack shelf kit (part #60-190-20) (figure 2-1, on the next page)

•RSB 123 3.5-inch deep rack shelf (part #60-604-21)

•RSU 126 6-inch deep universal rack shelf kit (part #60-190-10)

•RSB 126 6-nch deep basic rack shelf (part #60-604-11)

UL guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the matrix switcher into a rack.

1.

Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the

 

equipment installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

 

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the

 

rack environment may be greater than room ambient

 

temperature. Therefore, install the matrix switcher in

 

an environment compatible with the maximum ambient

 

temperature (TMA = 122 °F , +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2.

Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that

 

the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the

 

equipment is not compromised.

3.

Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack

 

so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to

 

uneven mechanical loading.

4.

Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to

 

the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit

 

overloading might have on overcurrent protection and

 

supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment

 

nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this

 

concern.
