4 UX8800 INSTALLATION

4 . 1 Physical Installation

CAUTION: The UX8800’s operating temperature range is 32 F to 104 F degrees / 0 C to 40 C degrees. The UX8800 may not function properly in temperatures below this range and may be damaged in temperatures above this range.

4.1.1MOUNTING

The UX8800 is designed to mount in a standard, 19 in equipment rack occupying one EIArack space (1.75 in). When rack mounting, use screws with mating plastic washers to help protect the finish of the UX8800. The UX8800 weighs approximately 10 lb / 4.5 kg.

4.1.2VENTILATION

An integral fan is used to properly ventilate the UX8800. The fan is located to the rear of the left side of the chassis. The air intake grilles are located on the right side and on top of the chassis. Maintain clearances around the left and right sides of the chassis as shown in the drawing.

It is recommended to leave one empty rack space above the UX8800 to provide 1.75 in / 45 mm clearance above the top air intake holes for additional ventilation.

MAINTAIN 2 in / 50 mm

CLEARANCE AROUND FAN EXHAUST GRILLE

RECOMMENDED:

MAINTAIN 1-3/4 in / 45 mm CLEARANCE ABOVE TOP AIR INTAKE GRILLES

MAINTAIN 1 in / 25 mm

VENTILATION CLEARANCES

4.2.1AC MAINS VOLTAGE

The UX8800 has a universal, auto-ranging power supply that operates from 100 Vto 240 V, 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The UX8800 is compatible with these nominal ac mains:

100 V, 110 V, 115 V, 120 V, 127 V, 220 V, 230 V, and 240 V at 50 Hz to 60 Hz.

CAUTION: To maintain compliance ratings, keep the ac mains voltage between 100 V to 240 V.

4.2.2IEC POWER CORD RECEPTACLE

An IEC-320 ac mains inlet on the rear panel accepts the detachable power cords supplied with the unit. Use the power cord appropriate for these nominal ac mains supply voltages.

120 V ac mains: use the power cord with the NEMA 5-15 plug, EAW part # 640-01-00

220 V ac mains: use the power cord with the Schuko plug, EAW part # 640-02-02

CAUTION: It is the user’s responsibility to provide a proper ac mains plug for any ac mains outlet configuration that differs from those supplied with the product.

4.2.3GROUNDING

The chassis of this product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired and grounded receptacle before making any connections to or operating the product.

DANGER: This equipment must be operated with the power cord grounding conductor connected to a properly grounded ac outlet. Do not disconnect, “lift,” or otherwise remove this ground connection. Without this connection, accessible parts, including knobs and controls that may appear to be insulated, can render an electric shock that can cause injury or death to operating personnel.
