Rack-Mounting

Tango units occupy two rack spaces in a standard 19" equipment rack. Rack mounting brackets are supplied with the optional Rack-Mount Installation Kit (FG1101-60).

Note: Exercise extreme care when lifting or moving Tango units within the rack to avoid injury. It is recommended that you seek the assistance of another person when rack mounting Tango units.

1.Attach the rack mounting brackets to each side of the Tango unit using the four screws (10-32 Panhead Phillips - supplied with the Tango unit) for each bracket.

Note: To prevent injury the Tango unit must be securely attached to the rack in accordance with the installation instructions. ALWAYS use the spe- cial rack mount brackets supplied and high quality fixing screws to ensure the Tango unit is installed in the rack correctly.

2.Place the Tango unit in the equipment rack and hold steady.

3.Secure the Tango unit in the rack using the mounting holes.

Note: DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the Tango unit when it is rack mounted, as this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets.

Ventilation

To ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated, there must be a minimum of 3" all around the Tango unit.

Sufficient airflow must be achieved (by convection or forced-air cooling) to satisfy the ventilation requirements of all the items of equipment installed within the rack.

Speaker Wire Technology (SWT)

Speaker Wire Technology (SWT) allows both data and audio signals to travel over the same four conductor wire. This remarkable technology removes the need for control wire since the control and audio signals are shared on the same wire. The reliability and simplicity of this system has been proven for years. AMX Distributed Audio is the only company that offers a “retrofit solution”, one which allows the replacement of volume controls with AMX Distributed Audio keypads and Controllers, giving full control over the sources. Additionally, the versatility of SWT also allows AMX Distributed Audio products to be connected where the control wire has been run separately from the speaker cable.

Cabling Instructions

CAUTION: Be sure to check for any wiring restrictions required by the electrical code in your area.

This installation uses low voltage cabling similar to telephone and alarm wiring, and as such does not commonly have very many restrictions on their installation. However rules may vary in different regions.

Cable Type

The Tango Amplifier is cabled using standard 4-conductor speaker cable originating at the Tango Controller, passing through the Keypad, and terminating at the speaker location. AMX recommends using a bundled 4-conductor 16-gauge stranded copper wire in a single continuous run.
