Setting up the SDC 8200 system

Caution!

Danger of mechanical damage!

Rack-mounted central units that are not adequately sup- ported at the rear can be mechanically damaged, e.g. dur- ing transport of the rack.

Make sure that the housings of the central units are NOT mechanically loaded.

Make sure that the central units are adequately sup- ported at the rear.

Caution!

Danger of electric shock!

When rack-mounting the central units, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the individual units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value.

Ground the rack via an additional ground connection.

Make sure that all central units are properly grounded

– especially when the central units are not directly connected to the mains but are connected via e.g. an extension cable.

Avoid circuit overloading. Observe the information indicated on the type plate. If necessary, provide over- current protection.

Slide the central units into the rack.

Screw the central units to the rack.

Adequately support the central units at the rear.

Setting up the central units

Caution!

Risk of staining of furniture surfaces!

Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish, polish or synthetics which might cause stains when they come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thor- ough testing of the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining.

Do not place the central units on delicate surfaces.

Place the central units on an even, non-slip surface.
