Installation & Connections
As these instructions cover the entire Omnia-3 family of processors, there may be some connections listed that
are not used on your specific model. Refer to the individual model chapter for additional details specific to your
Omnia-3 version. Throughout this section reference is made to “software parameters.” These are part of the
User Interface, which is covered in Chapter 2.
Omnia-3 Rack Mounting Requirements
Rack Mounting
The Omnia-3 requires 2RU (3.50" [89 mm]) of rack space. Rack mount the unit using four rack screws. It is
preferred to leave at least one rack unit of empty space above the Omnia-3 to enhance ventilation and to prolong
component life. Install a 1RU (1.75") vented or solid panel to fill this space. It is recommended that another
1RU blank panel be installed below the unit for the same reason, if rack space is not at a premium.

AC Connection (IEC)
The Omnia-3 uses a universal power entry module with integral AC switch just above the IEC power cord
receptacle. It can operate on AC mains voltages from 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz since a self-adjusting
switching power supply is used. In the USA, plug the supplied AC power cord into the unit and then into an
isolated ground AC outlet. Outside of the USA you must obtain an appropriate local IEC power cord.
