Step 8: Mount the EBPs
EBP panels can be installed directly into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
1.
Decide where the EBP 108 RAAP will be mounted.
2.
(Optional.) Install AAPs as required. If you do not install AAPs, you can install blank plates to cover the holes.
3.
Use the four provided rack-mounting screws to secure the button panel to any standard equipment rack or control console.
Follow the instructions in the
Underwriters Laboratories Guidelines for Rack Mounting
(see below) to ensure the rack is
mounted safely.
Figure 9.
Mounting the EBP 108 RAAP in a rack
NOTE:
You can mount up to four single-space or two double-space AAPs of your choice (see
for available
models). If you do not fill all the spaces, you can install blank plates to cover the holes.
4.
Disconnect power from all devices at the source and run the cables to the EBP and AAP rear panels.
5.
Connect the cables to the EBP rear panel (see
6.
(Optional.) Connect cables to the AAPs. Follow the instructions provided with the AAP.
7.
If you have not already done so, set the DIP switches to give the EBP a unique BUS ID (see
Underwriters Laboratories Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of the EBP 108 RAAP in a rack:
•
Elevated operating ambient temperature
— If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +104 °F, +40 °C) specified by Extron.
•
Reduced air flow
— Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.
•
Mechanical loading
— Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous
condition.
•
Circuit overloading
— Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the equipment nameplate ratings when
addressing this concern.
•
Reliable earthing (grounding)
— Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
