Installation and

Site Requirements

Focus Enhancements recommends that FS-2/2E units be installed in a restricted access area, such as an equipment room or closet and the installation be performed by trained installers.

The units are designed and tested to operate reliably between +5 - +40C (41 - 104 F).

To maintain this range, consider the following:

Air temperature surrounding the equipment must remain within the specified range.

Air flow around the equipment must be sufficient to maintain proper operating temperatures

If in doubt about the site temperature, take measurements to be certain. If measured temperatures fall outside the defined ambient temperature range, you must bring the temperature within the defined range.

Storage temperature for the units must remain between -20 - +60C (-4 - 140 F).

Mounting in a 19” Electronics Rack

The FS-2/2E measures 15.89” high x 17.36” wide by 3.47” deep. It is an 2RU chassis featuring front rack mount ears to be installed into a standard 19” audio/visual rack. There must be room behind the unit for the attachment of cables.

To mount the FS-2/2E in a standard 19” audio/ visual rack, do the following:

STEP 1: Determine the desired location. The FS-2/2E requires 3.47 vertical inches of rack space.
