How to Choose a Site

Before you install the Vanguard 3400 Series, select a site for the device.

Choose a site that is within an appropriate distance of a power source. Depending on your application, and the country in which the Vanguard 3400 Series is to operate, the power source must be a grounded 110 to 220 Vac outlet.

Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance in front of the front panel, to allow you to see the front panel LEDs, and 6-inches behind the unit for cable clearances (see Figure 3-2). For proper ventilation, leave 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance on the sides.

The site should be free of accumulated dust and environmental extremes. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications for details.

Minimum 2-inches (5 cm) Front

and 6-inches (15 cm) Rear

Note: Do not remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the unit. They allow for proper air flow.

Minimum 2-inches (5 cm) on either side for ventilation.
