Installation and Operation

Mounting the YCV 100, VYC 100N, & VYC 100P

The YCV 100, VYCN, and VYC 100P can be set on a table or mounted on a rack shelf, under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector mount.

Tabletop use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the YCV 100, VYC 100N, and VYC 100P. For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the YCV 100, VYC 100N, and VYC 100P in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If 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 unit 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.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Rack mounting

For optional rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. Mount the YCV 100, VYC 100N, or YCV 100P, on a VersaTools™ rack shelf (RSF 123, Extron part #60-190-20; RSB 123,

part #60-604-21), or on a 6" deep rack shelf (RSU 126,

part #60-190-10; RSB 126, part #60-604-11), or on a 1U universal rack shelf (RSU 129, part #60-190-01; RSB 129, #60-604-02).

On the standard rack shelf, the YCV 100, VYC 100N, and VYC 100P mount in one of eight locations to the rear of the shelf or in one of eight locations to the front of the shelf.

1.	Remove rubber feet if they were previously installed on
	the bottom of the unit.
2.	Mount the unit on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16"
	screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the unit to
	the shelf.
3.	Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) on the rack shelf.
