Installation

Placement

Caution: The RLC-1080 weighs approxi- mately 60 pounds. Two-people should work together when the unit is being moved. Lift the RLC-1080 carefully by firmly grasping both sides of unit in the middle. Failure to use caution and proper procedures when lifting or moving the unit may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Place unit on a solid, ﬂat surface that is capable of supporting at least 60 lbs.

Note: Avoid placing other components directly on top of or behind the unit. Leave at least one inch of space on all sides to allow for proper air ventilation. Do not block the fan.

Rack Mounting

The RLC-1080 can be mounted in a standard 19” rack. Rack-mounting hardware is provided.

1.Install the rack-mount rails. (See the installa- tion sheet located in the box containing the rack-mount rails.)

2.Install the rail cleats. (See the installation sheet located with the cleats in the box marked “Accessories.”)

3.Install rack-mount ears. (OPTIONAL — See the installation sheet located with the cleats in the box marked “Accessories.”) Note: Rack-mount ears are not required. Their only function is to fasten the unit to the front of the rack and prevent front-to-rear movement.

Caution: Rack-mount ears should NEVER be used alone to support the unit. Rack-mount rails must always be used to support the unit’s weight when rack-mounting.

4.Slide the unit into the rack so that the cleats mounted on the side of the unit fit within the track of the rack-mount rails. If the ears were mounted, screw the mounted ears into the rack to lock unit into position. (See the installation sheet located in the box marked, “Accessories.”)

Note: Avoid placing other components directly on top of or behind the unit. Leave at least one inch of space on all sides to allow for proper air ventilation. Do not block the fan.

Connecting the Battery

The RLC-1080 is shipped with front bezel of the unit unattached and with the internal battery pack disconnected.

Connect the internal battery pack and attach the front bezel as follows:

1.Remove the battery retaining bar.

2.Push the Battery Wire Connector into the hole located at the left of the Battery Pack. Check to be sure that the connector is securely connected by gently pulling on the wire to see if it is attached to the connector.

3.Install the battery retaining bar.

4.Install the front Bezel by aligning the four pins located on the back-side of the Bezel to the holes at the left and right sides of the unit. Gently push the front Bezel onto the unit.
