Installing the VM-1120 in a Rack 

This section describes how to install the 

VM-1120

 in a rack. 

Before Installing in a rack 

 

How to Rack Mount 

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is 

within the recommended range: 

Operating temperature range  +5  to +45  C (41  to 113  F) 
Operating humidity range 

10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing 

Storage temperature range 

-20  to +70  C (-4  to 158  F) 

Storage humidity range 

5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing 

   

 CAUTION

!!

 

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking 

care that: 

1.  It is located within the recommended environmental 

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a 

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the 

room ambient temperature. 

2.   Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around 

the machine. 

3.   The machine is placed straight in the correct 

horizontal position. 

4.   You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting 

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the 

circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent 

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate 

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for 

fuse replacement, see the value printed on the 

product label. 

5.   The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way 

and is connected only to an electricity socket with 

grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where 

electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord 

is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for 

example, when using an extension cable or a power 

strip, and that you use only the power cord that is 

supplied with the machine. 

 

To rack-mount a machine: 

1.  Attach both ear brackets to the 

machine. To do so, remove the 

screws from each side of the 

machine (3 on each side), and 

replace those screws through the 

ear brackets. 

 

2.  Place the ears of the machine 

against the rack rails, and insert the 

proper screws (not provided) 

through each of the four holes in the 

rack ears. 

Note that: 

 

In some models, the front panel 

may feature built-in rack ears 

  Detachable rack ears can be 

removed for desktop use 

  Always mount the machine in the 

rack before you attach any cables 

or connect the machine to the 

power  

  If you are using a Kramer rack 

adapter kit (for a machine that is not 

19"), see the Rack Adapters user 

manual for installation instructions 

(you can download it at: 

http://www.kramerelectronics.com) 

Connecting Your Balanced Stereo Audio Distributor 

You can easily connect the following configurations: 

 

1:20 mono DA (see section 6.1) 

 

2x1:10 mono DA (see section 6.2) 

 

1:10 stereo DA (see section 6.3) 

 

2x1:5 stereo DA (see section 6.4)
