UMC1620AR04
All 19 inch Rack mounted units are 1U (44.45mm) in height.
If incandescent lamps are installed in the windows in these units, then the maximum
number of units recommended to stack without a ventilation gap is 6 units to prevent
excessive heat build-up.
2.4 Installing Back-lit LED boards
Back-lit LED boards are installed through the front windows of the unit.
To install an LED board in a window, follow this procedure:
1. Snap out the relevant clear plastic window using slot in the centre (see 2.7.3).
2. Remove any lamps that may already be installed. (Backlit LED boards can be installed
in units that have incandescent lamp holders installed, but only after the bulbs have
been removed.)
3. Using a pair of long-nose pliers, grip the backlit LED board by the central connector, and
carefully insert on to the gold pins located in the centre of the window.
4. Press the board firmly into position so that the white locating spacer clips into the
locating hole in the back of the window.
Markings on the LED board indicate the correct insertion orientation. If an LED board is
inserted the wrong way around, it will not work, but no damage will be done.
2.5 Installing Incandescent Lamps
If the Omni30 Alarm unit has incandescent lamp-holders fitted, then the incandescent lamps
may be fitted and changed through the front windows.
To install the lampholders themselves, however, the Lamp display Assembly must be
removed from the main housing. Consult your nearest OMNIFLEX distributor for assistance
in installing incandescent lamp holders.
2.6 Creating Window Legends for Back-lit Display Windows
2.6.1 Overview
Legends are created for the Omni30 on a laser or inkjet printer using the software templates
provided with the product.
Templates for popular programs are supplied on a 3,5” ‘stiffy’ diskette with your unit. There
are templates for Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint to run on an IBM compatible
computer running the Windows95, Windows 98 or Windows NT/2000/XP operating
systems. There is also a README.TXT file on this disk. Read this first to see which
versions of program are compatible with these templates.
2.6.2 Creating the Legend Film
To create the legend film, follow this procedure:
1. Start the application program you wish to use.
2. Open the appropriate template from the ‘stiffy diskette’ supplied.
3. Fill in your legend details in this template.
4. Print the legends created onto overhead transparency film (the type used for overhead
presentations). A sheet is included with the product.
