Mounting the MIX 301

The MIX 301 can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, mounted on the back of the rack, mounted under a desk or table, or installed on a projector mount.

Tabletop use

The MIX 301 comes with four, self-adhesive rubber feet (not attached). Follow these instructions for a tabletop installation:

1.Attach the rubber feet to the underside of the MIX 301 near the corners of the unit.

2.Place the MIX 301 unit in the desired location.

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the MIX 301 in a rack.

1.Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the MIX 301 in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2.Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3.Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4.Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5.Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
