UL Rack Mounting Guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the MPS 409 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 device 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.
