AQD-RCS
Instruction Manual
Installing the AQD-RCS
The AQD-RCS is designed to occupy any single module slot in the AQD rack chassis. Slide the AQD-RCS unit into the desired
chassis slot and connect the 12-pin power/data cable from the PCM to the RCS unit. Tighten the retaining screw on the front
panel to secure the unit in the chassis.
The Chassis is 5.25 inches tall, 19 inches wide and 12 inches deep.
NOTE:
The AQD PCM will appropriately power the RCS unit but will treat it as an “AQD not present” on the LCD readout window
and in the web interface – this does not indicate a problem and is the normal condition.

NOTE
: It is recommended to place the AQD-RCS unit in the middle slot of the top AQD rack in the headend. The middle slots
in the AQD chassis are subject to the most heat. The AQD-RCS has the capability to measure the ambient temperature. Placing
the AQD-RCS in this location in the rack will provide the most valuable data about the overall temperature of the entire rack.
It is also recommended that if all chassis slots are not used that empty slots start at the middle of the rack and alternate to
encourage the most air flow possible. As with any electronic equipment this will help extend the usable life of the units.
