Air Flow
The RFM220 demodulator chassis is cooled by drawing air in from the left
side of the instrument and exhausting it out the right side of the instrument.
(See Figure 3.)
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the instrument from overheating, do not
block the left or right side of the instrument. Leave at least two inches of
clearance on each side.

Rackmounting
The RFM220 demodulator chassis is designed to be a transportable platform.
If you need to install the instrument into an equipment rack, use one of the
following two methods:
Use appropriate hardware to secure the front face plate of the instrument
to the rack, restraining the cantilevered mass of the instrument. (See
Figure 7.)
Use a rack shelf to support the instrument.
