Chapter 3: Installation

3.1Preparation

Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the following precautions:

1.If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, the

steady-state long-term environmental temperature around the equipment must be less than or equal to 600C.

2.If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, adequate airflow must be maintained for proper and safe operation.

3.If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack system, placement of the equipment must not overload or load unevenly the rack system.

4.If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.

5.If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised earthing path.

3.1.1Locating Multilink ML1200 Switches

For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.3.

For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3.1.

For DC power input data, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C

The rugged metal case of the Multilink ML1200 will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from convection while the unit is in operation. The ML1200 has no fans, so it is silent when in operation. Internal electronics use the case as a heat sink, so the unit may normally be quite warm to the touch.
