Installation Guidance and Safety
WARNING
The following warnings are intended for user guidance and
safety.
Safety advice for users and installers of the Predator
II
GX Multiviewer.
Ground
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Before turning on the unit, you must connect the protective earth
terminal of the unit to the protective conductor of the mains power cord.
The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a
protective earth contact. Take care when using supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Circuit
Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
over current protection and supply wiring.
The typical power consumption figures for Predator
II
GX frames are
shown in Power Consumption (on page 99).
Service
Service instructions are for trained personnel. To avoid dangerous electric
shock, do not perform any service unless qualified to do so.
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification
to the unit.
These are solid state units with low supply voltage rails; however, mains
voltages are present on certain parts of the unit. These parts are not
accessible under normal operating conditions. There are no user
serviceable parts within and only suitably qualified persons should carry
out any repairs or modifications. The mains supply must be disconnected
before removing any covers.
Ventilation -
Elevated
Ambient
Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in
an environment compatible with the rated maximum ambient
temperature for the equipment.
It is recommended that installation should be in standard 19" racks with
forced cool air or convection cooling. Also, ensure that the front panel is
kept closed at all times, and that any fans are fully operational.
Mounting
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. See
Installing the Predator II GX Frame (on page 24).
