Rack Installation

Typical PCS150R Rack Installation

1.Carefully slide the chassis into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

2.Use all four mounting screws to secure the chassis to the rack.

Rack-mount Considerations

A. Elevated Operating Ambient

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer (see Specifications information in this document).

B. Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. To ventilate the system nor- mally and avoid overheating, leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on each side (including top and bottom) of the PCS150R. Do NOT stack other equipment on the top of the PCS150R unit.

C. Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the con- nection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

D. Reliable Earthing

Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

E.Mains Outlet Earthing

The apparatus with Class I construction must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
