Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems

Environmental Requirements

The ANH-8/DC installation site must meet the following environmental specifications:

•Maximum Altitude: 10,000 ft (3000 m)

•Relative Humidity (Operating): 5% to 85%, noncondensing

•Maximum Humidity (Storage): 95%, noncondensing

•Operating Temperature: 41 °F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C) stable

•Storage Temperature: -58 °F to 113°F (-50°to 45°C)

These requirements meet IEC 721-3 Class 3K3 climatic conditions while under operation and IEC 721-3 Class 1K3 climatic conditions while under storage.

Installing the ANH-8/DC

Once you are ready to install the ANH-8/DC in its final location, proceed with one of the three sections below. You can

•Position the ANH-8/DC on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.

•Install the ANH-8/DC in an electronic enclosure rack.

•Mount the ANH-8/DC on a wall.

Positioning the ANH-8/DC on a Flat Surface

To position the ANH-8/DC on a flat surface:

1.Make sure that the surface is large enough for the ANH-8/DC to operate properly.

The surface must be sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ANH-8/DC and any cables you connect.

2.Peel the paper backing off the four rubber feet and attach them to the bottom of the ANH-8/DC.

3.Set the ANH-8/DC in the chosen location.

You can now connect the network cables to the ANH-8/DC. Go to the section

“Connecting Communications Cables,” later in this chapter.
