2.
Avoid direct heat to the unit. If unavoidable, use deflector plates or install the unit in
a climate controlled environment.
Warning: Elevated operating ambient temperature – If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack may be greater than the room ambient temperature.
Therefore, considerations should be given to the Template
Multiple Rack Assembly (TMRA).
3.
Locate the equipment to allow for an adequate number of AC power outlets for test
equipment and power tools.
Warning: Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of circuits could have on over current protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
4.
Check that the rack mounting rails are sufficiently rigid to support the rack and
equipment.
Warning: Mechanical Overloading – Mounting of equipment in a rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
loading.
5.
Eliminate any conditions that could cause water to drip onto the equipment and
penetrate waveguide or cable openings.
2.2.1
Grounding the Equipment Rack
The equipment rack must be connected to the station ground using a #6 copper wire or
equivalent. The ground wire should be routed in as straight and direct a route as is practical.
Caution:
Grounding the equipment rack is mandatory.
