Installation and Operation
1.
Unpacking the Unit
Please inspect the cartons on receipt and note damage to the carton and inspect for possible
unit damage. If damage is found, please contact shipper immediately, before unpacking, to
follow that shipper’s procedure for claims.
Please open the carton and unpack carefully. Locate the power cord. Do not connect a unit
to power if there is serious mechanical damage to prevent possibly unsafe conditions.
2. Before Mounting
The PFR receiver has no internal configuration switches and no internal user adjustments or
controls. To prevent unsafe conditions, please do not open the unit. Opening the PFR re-
ceiver will also void the warranty.
3. Rack Mounting
The unit is designed for installation in an EIA standard 19-inch (480 mm) equipment rack.
3.1 Spacing
It is generally a good practice to leave one open slot (approximately 1 3/4 inch) be-
tween units to allow for cooling and provide maximum reliability. From the front of the
rack, cover any open slots with a blank plate to prevent dust from entering the rack.
3.2 Cooling
If other equipment is installed in the same rack or nearby racks as the PFR receiver, check
to ensure that adequate cooling measures have been provided for all equipment in the rack.
Do not restrict the airflow through the equipment’s vents on the top cover. The PFR has been
designed to effectively dissipate its own heat, but heat from other rack-mounted compo-
nents may adversely affect the unit, including side exhaust from equipment in the next rack.
3.3 Securing the unit
Slide the PFR receiver in to the rack opening. Please use FOUR mounting screws in the
front panel mounting handles (supplied with unit). Insert one screw in the lower hole on
the left and on the right, and then snug both screws to hold the chassis. Place additional
screws in the upper holes, and screw until snug. Tighten all four screws equally and securely.
