ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

UXA4416  amplifiers shall not be installed in a place with:

•  too high temperature, dust or excessive humidity;
•  exhaust air ventilators;
•  permanent vibrations;
•  high-intensity electromagnetic fields (due to transformers, transmitters, etc.).

RACK MOUNT

UXA4416 amplifiers must be installed inside rack cabinets. Inside rack cabinets, it cannot be installed on slide rails.

1. Fix the UXA4416 amplifier to the rack front uprights (2) using the holes (1) on the supports.

Provide a temporary support during the following steps, in order to avoid accidental product crash and potential
