Mounting the Frame
The studio version comes ready for table-top mounting. The OB-Van version is designed for mounting onto a
crossbar (not supplied). Note that a separate OB-Van mounting kit is not required, as the screw threads are
integrated into the frame.
The frame
must
be mounted so that the faders work in a horizontal manner. It is forbidden to use the device
in any other position, due to the convection airflow through and along the device.
All plug-in connectors are located on the front buffer and rear panel. Therefore, when installing, please leave
enough room for the cables. You must also make sure that there is sufficient airflow around the device for
cooling.

and data sheets for all frame variants are available from the

Temperature and Cooling
Proper operation of the control surface can only be guaranteed at an
ambient temperature between 10° C and 40° C and a relative humidity
between 15% and 85% (not condensing).
To keep the control surface cool in extreme conditions, the front panel is
fitted with slow turning low noise fans which are temperature controlled.
When relying on convection cooling, it is vital to observe the minimum
distances around the frame. The sticker on the rear of the frame summarizes
the requirements.
ALWAYS
observe the
around the console frame to allow for ventilation and cable
ducting. Take care that no devices or cables obstruct the flow of air and, thereby, hinder cooling.
