2.2 Installation
The KPA is designed for installation to mount in a standard 19-inch (48 cm) rack cabinet
or enclosure. The KPA chassis requires 8.75 inches (22 cm) of panel height space.
Adequate air ventilation should be provided to the rack mounted equipment. Cool
air is taken in through the front panel and exhausted out the rear panel.
Locate the KPA so the input and output airflow paths are not obstructed or
restricted.
This will minimize the amplifier operating temperature.
•
If the KPA is to be mounted on slides, the slides must be the Comtech EF
Data rack slides provided with the KPA. Proceed as follows:
Mount the slides on the sides of the KPA chassis with the provided
mounting hardware.
Install the slide rails on the rack cabinet enclosure.
Secure the KPA to the cabinet with four screws inserted through the
KPA front panel slotted holes.
2.2.1 Prime Power Connection
The On/Off prime power switch is located on the rear of the chassis adjacent to the prime
power input connector. The circuit breaker is rated for 30 Amps.
The detachable power cord mates with the AC Prime power receptacle on the rear of the
KPA chassis.
