Air Conditioning Requirements
Air conditioning will almost certainly be required for both the Machine and Control rooms in order to maintain the
temperature and humidity to within the required levels.
Power dissipation figures for console control surface and equipment rack are listed in Appendix A.
Appendix E contains the environmental specification for SSL equipment.
Cable Ducting
Cable ducting will be required between the console and the Machine room (as well as to any outboard racks and the
recording areas).The ducting provided should be of sufficient size such that approximately 50mm x 35mm is available for
console surface connection. It is not possible to route cables down through the console legs.
The connectors for all control and interface cables are located beneath the console’s Centre Section.The connector panels
are orientated so that cables will route towards the rear of the desk.
The connectors for ancillary functions, such as talkback and metering etc., are located on a panel at the rear of the Centre
Section.
The mains input power connector will be located on a separate panel.This panel is usually positioned in a bay adjacent to
the Centre Section nearest to the centre of the console but may vary due to console layout.
Service Access
Access to all major electronic assemblies within the frame is either from the front or from beneath the console.The meter
LCD panels are retained by finger-screw fastener beneath the top trim.The top trim is designed to hinge upwards to allow
access to these screws. If the console is being built into restricted space – as in some mobile installations – then always
allow a minimum of 80mm clearance above the top trim.
Sufficient clearance must be provided in front of and behind the rack into which the Centuri processor is installed so that
cards can easily be removed. See the drawing on page 10 for minimum clearances.
