Installation

Inventory
Take inventory of the complete package to ensure that all necessary parts are present. A quick
review of your pre-installation site survey form, purchase order, and shipping list should reveal any
discrepancies. The box should contain the modulator, a power cord, a fan filter kit, and this
manual. If any additional kits have been ordered such as the Rear Support Kit verify the contents
using the packing slip

Installing the equipment
Move the unit to the location where it will be installed. Ideally, the unit will be installed into an
equipment rack or a shelf. Prior to installing the SBM75e Modulator, determine the depth of the
supporting structure. A Rack Mount Support Kit may be required (if this has not been supplied
with your modulator when purchased, see Preliminary Pages for ordering information. If
necessary, prior to installation into the rack or shelf, remove the three coloured screws on the
bottom side of the chassis. The removal of these screws frees up the anti-vibration mount that
was secured during shipping. Install the fan filters onto the external fans, if a regular maintenance
schedule can be provided to clean or replace the fans. Do not install the filters at a remote
location unless quarterly preventative maintenance is performed. Follow the additional
precautions shown below:
ƒ Do not block the air holes or the fan cut outs the back panel of the unit. These openings
must be kept clear for the proper cooling of the equipment.
ƒ
Do not place the units beside each other or on top of each other. The exhaust from one unit
can be drawn into the air intake of another.
Make sure the room is properly cooled. Normal cooling may not be sufficient for locations
where the electrical equipment is installed.
ƒ
Always make sure the unit’s top cover is installed and secured in place.
ƒ
If it has not already been done, label each cable that will be attached to the unit. This will
prevent confusion and ensures proper connection.
