Installation & Setup

Installation Procedure

A flow chart showing the installation sequence is in FIG. 5. The procedure following provides general steps with references to detailed information found later in this manual.

FIG. 5 Installation procedure

Caution: To prevent overheating and airflow restriction, avoid placing high heat producing equipment directly above or below the enclosure. The system requires a minimum of one empty rack unit above and below (three empty rack units are recommended).

To install and set up a Precis SD system in a rack:

1.Attach the rack ears per FIG. 6.

FIG. 6 Attach rack ears to sides of enclosure

2.Place the enclosure in the rack and attach front-mounting screws to hold it firmly in place (FIG. 7).

FIG. 7 Place in rack and fasten with mounting screws

Tip: When placing enclosures, keep in mind that the optimal viewing angle for a control panel is eye level.

3.Optional – Establish communication with an external control device/system; see “Attaching External Controllers” on page 20.
