Installing on a Rack

5 Installing on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing on a rack (see section 5￿ .1) and how to install on a rack (see section 5￿ .2).

5.1 Before Installing on a Rack

Before installing the machine in a 19" rack, be sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

Table 3: Recommended Ambient Temperature and Humidity Range

Operating temperature range	+5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade
Operating humidity range	5 to 65 % RHL, non-condensing
Storage temperature range	-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade
Storage humidity range	5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

5.1.1 CAUTION!!

When installing the FC-4046in a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

1.It is located within the recommended environmental conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed the room ambient temperature.

2.Once rack-mounted, enough air will still flow around the machine.

3.The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position.

4.You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

5.The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way and is connected only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips), and that you use only the power cord that is supplied with the machine.

5.2Instructions for Rack-Mounting

To install the FC-4046in a 19" rack, place the rack ears of the machine against the rack rails of the rack, and insert the proper rack screws through each of the four holes in the rack ears1.

1 Always mount the machine in the rack before you attach any cables or connect the machine to the power. If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), refer to the Rack Adapters user manual (download it at: http://www.kramerelectronics.com) for installation instructions
