Installation Instructions

Installation

The following sections explain the installation of the CVEQ 100 and SVEQ 100 series of line drivers.

Installing the CVEQ 100/SVEQ 100

Mounting the CVEQ 100 and SVEQ 100

The CVEQ 100 composite video line driver and the SVEQ 100 S-video line driver can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, mounted under a desk or table, mounted through furniture (CVEQ 100 only), or mounted on the back of a rack (SVEQ 100 only).

Tabletop use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the line driver.

For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location. See chapter 3 for details on wiring and switch settings.

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the line drivers 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 line driver 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 rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. Mount the distribution amplifier on a 19" wide 1U VersaTools® rack shelf (Extron RSF 123, part #60-190-20; Extron RSB 123, part #60-604-21), a standard 1U Universal or Basic rack shelf (Extron RSU 129, part #60-190-01; Extron RSB 129, part #60-604-02), or a Universal or Basic 1U 6-inch deep rack shelf (Extron RSU 126, part #60-190-10; Extron RSB 126, part #60-604-11).

1. If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the line driver, remove them.

2. Mount the line driver 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.
