38 Placing the terminal
2.5.3 Where to place the TracPhone 19” Rack Terminal
Temperature conditions
Ambient temperature range is –25°C to +55°C.
Grounding access
The terminal is designed for installation in a 19” rack. We recommend
grounding the terminal through the rack.
See Outline dimensions, 19” Rack Terminal on page 150 in Appendix B.
Note
If you install other equipment close to the terminal in the rack, first
make sure the equipment can withstand the heat that may be
dissipated from the TracPhone 19” Rack Terminal. In max. ambient
temperature the surface of the terminal may reach a temperature
close to 70°C.
Important
The rack for the terminal must be placed in an area where
access to the hull or equivalent grounding can be reached
within 0.5 m.
