receiver will not accomodate “wings” or other
rack accessories which attach directly to a unit. Airflow should not be restricted in the rack. The following
guidelines must be considered when rack mounting the receiver:
a.
Coverage.
The FrontRow Pro Digital receiver has an internal sensor that works like the external ceiling
or wall sensor.
The internal sensor can be used alone or in tandem with external sensors. If the location of the receiver in the
rack prevents the internal sensor from being fully exposed to the coverage area, the sensor should be disabled*.
The internal sensor cannot be disabled in the field. With reasonable notice FrontRow can disable the internal
sensor prior to shipment.
When placing the receiver in the rack where exposure to the coverage area is possible, be sure to secure the
receiver on the shelf to prevent it from sliding to the rear of the shelf or changing orientation.
b.
Technical Support.
Contact FrontRow technical support at US: 800.227.0735, CAN: 800.340.9894 if you have
any questions regarding installation or troubleshooting.
*Each sensor contributes a small degree of electrical noise in the system. A properly used sensor, one that is
exposed to the coverage area, improves system performance far above the electrical noise that is introduced.
Conversely, a sensor that is NOT exposed to the coverage area (e.g., receiver placed in a closed rack system),
contributes a small degree of electrical noise in the system with no benefit in performance.

Tip
Point your receiver away from windows
Your FrontRow Pro Digital system communicates using infrared light. Strong
sunlight can overwhelm that communication. Your receiver will perform best if
it is pointed away from windows that get direct sunlight.
