Installation

Static Discharge

Whenever handling the MUX-9258-A and other related equipment, please 
observe all static discharge precautions as described in the following note:

ESD Susceptibility

 — Static discharge can cause serious damage 

to sensitive semiconductor devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in 
high static environments, such as carpeted areas, and when wearing 
synthetic fiber clothing. Always exercise proper grounding precautions 
when working on circuit boards and related equipment.

Unpacking

Unpack each MUX-9258-A you received from the shipping container and 
ensure that all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact 
your sales representative or Ross Video directly.

Mounting and Installation

The MUX-9258-A can be mounted in any convenient location. However, to 
ensure long life for this product, observe the following precautions and 
operating requirements:

Maintain an ambient temperature of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

Allow for air circulation around the chassis for convectional cooling.

Many different mounting positions are possible with the included mounting 
hardware. Some installation options are permanent and require careful 
consideration of the final positioning before installation. Please note that in 
some mounting locations, the power adaptor must be affixed in a similar manner 
as the chassis.

Other possible options include the use of adhesive magnetic sheets (not 
included) affixed to the chassis and the power adaptor, for removable mounting 
on metal cabinets etc.

Surface Mount Strips

The included VELCRO® brand surface mount strips allow the GearLite module 
and power supply to be affixed to a permanent location during use and easily 
removed for adjustments. Carefully consider the installation location before
