Installation

Mounting the MCP 1000

The MCP is 1U high by 17.5" wide by 5" deep. It can be placed on a table or other furniture, or it can be mounted in a rack using mounting brackets (“rack ears”).

Tabletop use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MCP 1000. For tabletop use, attach one foot to each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the MCP in the desired location.

Rack mounting

The MCP can optionally be mounted in a rack with the supplied MBD 149 rack mounting kit (part #70-077-03).

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the MCP 1000 into or onto a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) speciﬁed by the manufacturer.

2. 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.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Mounting instructions

Follow these steps to rack mount the MCP 1000:

1. Attach the mounting brackets to the unit using eight of the machine screws supplied with the mounting kit.

2.Insert the unit into the rack and align the holes in the mounting brackets with the holes in the rack. Use four of the supplied machine screws to attach the brackets to the rack.

Rear Panel Connections

There are many ways to connect the MCP 1000 to other products. However, there are two general applications: one using RS-232, and the other using the comm-link port. In some applications, both of these connectors are used. Chapter 3, "Operations," includes illustrated examples of several applications.
