Installation MM200 High-Speed Microwave Modem

2.2 Removal and Assembly
If using a knife or cutting blade to open the carton, exercise caution to ensure that the blade does
not extend into the carton, but only cuts the tape holding the carton closed. Carefully unpack the
unit and ensure that all of the above items are in the carton. If the Primary AC power available at
the installation site requires a different power cord/AC connector, then arrangements to receive
the proper device will be necessary before proceeding with the installation.
The MM200 modem is shipped fully assembled and does not require removal of the covers for
any purpose in installation. Should the power cable AC connector be of the wrong type for the
installation, either the cable or the power connector end should be replaced. The power supply
itself is designed for universal application using from 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1A or 37 – 75
VDC @ 4A.
2.3 Mounting Considerations
When mounted in an equipment rack, adequate ventilation must be provided. The MM200 draws
air in from the left hand side and exhausts from the right rear and side (as viewed from the front).
Do not install the unit in closed locations where this airflow will be restricted. The exhaust air must
be allowed to vent away from the unit and not be allowed to flow back into the air input. The
ambient temperature in the rack should be between 0
°
and 50
°
C, and held constant for best
equipment operation. The air available to the rack should be clean and relatively dry
Do not mount the MM200 in an unprotected outdoor location where there is direct contact with
rain, snow, wind or sun. The MM200 is designed for indoor applications only.
The only tools required for rack mounting the MM200
is a set of four rack mounting screws and
an appropriate screwdriver. Rack mount brackets are an integral part of the cast front bezel of the
unit and are not removable.
Shielded cables with the shield terminated to the conductive backshells are required in order to
meet EMC directives. Cables with insulation flammability ratings of 94 VO or better are required
in order to meet low voltage directives.
