2.2.3 Rack Mounting
CA5350
can be mounted on a 19-inch IEC rack, an EIA specification rack or a JIS
standard rack by the use of a rack-mount kit (optional). The rack-mount kit is available
with metric (JIS) type and inch (EIA) type.
First, mount the rack-mount adapter on the device as shown in
“Fig. 2-5 Assembly
drawing of rack-mount (EIA, for 1 unit)
”
to
“Fig. 2-8 Assembly drawing of rack -mount
(JIS, for 2 units)
”
, and then, mount the device in the rack.
Take the following precautions when you mount the device on the rack:
Be sure to install rack rails to support the CA5350.
Mounting CA5350 in a closely sealed rack may cause the temperature increased,
results in malfunction.
Provide proper air vents in the rack, or install fans for forced convection inside the
rack.
Besides, when mounting other equipments above or below the product, leave open
space for 40 mm or more below
CA5350
for heart dissipation.
Ensure that CA5350 does not vibrate and it is not directly exposed to wind.
CA5350
is highly sensitive amplifier. Vibration may easily overlap noise in the
output signal. Because wind may also become a source of noise, ensure that
CA5350
is not directly blew by a strong wind.
Ensure that the input cable is not subject to vibration.
Vibration will cause microphonic noise in the cable, increasing the output noise in
CA5350
. If required, fix the cable with shock-absorption material before using.
Avoid places with a lot of dust, or places with high humidity.
Insulation resistance will decline and leaked current will increase, which would
result in the decline of performance.
