• Remote Alpha Dock bases with mounted Alpha units may be configured in any horizon-
tal orientation or array as long as a minimum side clearance of 10 cm is maintained
between the Remote Alpha Dock unit and any wall, bulkhead, or adjacent unit (this is
identical to the PTC-220 base requirement). Requirements for motorized lid operation or
for loading or unloading plates may dictate additional clearances.
• Remote Alpha Dock bases with mounted Alpha units may be stacked vertically as long
as a minimum bottom clearance is maintained that would be no less than that resulting
from the unit being placed on a solid horizontal platform. A minimum top clearance is
also required to allow access to and operation of the Alpha unit lid.
• Remote Alpha Dock units can be flush-mounted (i.e., with the feet removed) to facilitate
robotic operation, as long as the airway beneath the unit is equivalent to the airway the
unit would have with the feet attached. Usually a hole will need to be cut to allow air to
flow to the cooling fan. Figure 11-5 is a template for flush-mounting the Remote Alpha
Dock unit.
Power Supply
• The Alpha unit mounted in each Remote Alpha Dock base is powered from the PTC-220
base.
• The Remote Alpha Dock unit’s fan is powered externally, and a power supply is pro-
vided that requires power from 90-250 VAC and 47 to 63 Hz, with a grounded outlet.
