Mechanical Installation
The Asterion DC Series power source is designed for rackmount applications, there
is an option for a rack mounted slide. Rack mounting requires installing the flange
brackets with handles to the side of the chassis: using M4-0.7 x 6 mm Philips flat-
head screws to mount the brackets to the chassis, and # 8-32 Philips flat-head
screws to mount the handles to the brackets.
The unit is forced air cooled with internal fans drawing air in from the front and sides
and exhausting at the rear. The front and rear of the unit must be kept clear of
obstruction and clearance must be maintained to allow unimpeded airflow. The same
consideration given to the side grilles will minimize internal temperature rise. Special
consideration must be made to overall air flow characteristics, and the resultant
internal heat rise, when a source is installed inside enclosed cabinets to avoid
excessive heating and over-temperature problems. The temperature of the ambient
air at the air intake should not exceed 50°C.
WARNING!
This unit is intended for installation in a protected environment. Exposure to
conductive contaminants or corrosive compounds/gases that could be ingested
into the chassis could result in internal damage. Install the power source in a
temperature and humidity controlled indoor area.
CAUTION!
The power source should be provided with proper ventilation. The front and rear
of the unit must be free of obstructions. To ensure proper airflow, a minimum 2"
clearance from the rear air outlet is required.
CAUTION!
No user serviceable parts are inside; service is only to be performed by qualified
personnel.
