Rack mounting the laser
The laser can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using rack mounting screws
and cage nuts.
Figure 56
shows the laser’s flange on the right side being affixed
to a standard rack. Use the finger grips on the flange to help balance the laser
when you are mounting it in a rack. Once mounted in a rack, it is important that
there is adequate airflow at the rear of the laser so that the cooling fins can
effectively dissipate the heat generated by the laser.
To avoid injury and damage, NKTP recommends that when rack mounting the
laser, two persons are present. One person can position the laser while the other
fastens it to the rack.

Placing the laser on a table or shelf
For installations where the laser is placed on a level surface, the laser is
equipped with four (4) rubber feet on its bottom panel (
Figure 57
). Be sure to
include adequate space at the rear of the laser so that the cooling fins can
effectively dissipate the heat generated by the laser. Additionally, the surface
should be free from vibrations and any source that could cause temperature
variations.
Figure 58
shows the laser placed on a solid table-top with no nearby
heat sources and with adequate free-space for the cooling fins.
Caution: For ADJUSTIK HP variants, heat dissipation is vital, ensure the
laser’s operating temperatures are maintained.
