Unpacking
The shipping carton contains the DSR-6000, quick disconnect terminals, a power cord, and
this Operator Guide.
Mounting
The DSR-6000 should be installed in an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) compliant
19-inch (480 mm) rack. It is recommended that the IRDs have 1RU spacing, above and
below, for airflow.
Mechanical Loading
The mounting rack location should be secure and level to avoid hazardous instability to the
equipment due to uneven loading or weight distribution within the rack.
Ambient Temperature
When installing an encoder within a closed or multi-unit rack, the ambient temperature
may be greater than the ambient temperature within the room. Therefore, verify that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised (maximum temperature
for the equipment is 50° C). Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient
temperature for the DSR-6000’s location when planning for cooling and air circulation.
Circuit Overloading
If the DSR-6000 is connected to a power strip, rather than a branch circuit’s direct connection,
use special care to ensure that the unit is properly connected. Always consider the affect that
overloading circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Check all
equipment power/amperage ratings to ensure the mounting rack power rating is not exceeded.
