To ensure reliable operation the unit should not be exposed to corrosive agents or
excessive moisture, heat or dust.
If the unit has been stored at a low temperature or in an environment of high humidity,
it must be allowed to reach ambient conditions before being powered up.
The unit must not be used in an explosive environment.
Caution
Do not operate the unit if it is not installed in a 19” rack. The unit is not
designed to be used free standing.
When the RBD201 is installed in a 19" rack cabinet, it should be supported on
a tray or shelf inside the rack. Do not mount the module using the front panel
only as this will cause excessive shear stress. Due to the weight of the module
and the additional pulling force of its cabling the RBD201 must be supported
from underneath and/or along its side walls.
When siting the unit, it should be positioned so as not to impede the
operation of the front panel power supply switch.
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained to the unit. Do not cover the fan
inlets on the front panel or the ventilation holes in the rear panel. The
direction of air flow is front to rear.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the rack system is loaded
in such a way that its stability is maintained.
Warning
Operation outside the following environmental limits may adversely affect
operator safety.
