RACK MOUNT INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
CHASSIS SLIDE RAILS ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN INSTALLING THE
ULTRAVOLT
HV RACK
®
SYSTEM IN AN INDUSTRIAL RACK. THE
HV RACK
POWER SUPPLY SHOULD NOT BE MOUNTED OR SUPPORTED BY THE FRONT
PANEL ALONE IF SUBJECTED TO HIGH VIBRATION OR SHOCK AS MIGHT
OCCUR IN A MOBILE ENVIRONMENT, OR DURING TRANSPORT.
CAUTION:
THE SLIDE RAILS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE SHOULD BE OF A TYPE
OBTAINED THROUGH OR RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY ULTRAVOLT. USE OF
INCORRECT SLIDE RAILS OR HARDWARE CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY.
CAUTION:
ULTRAVOLT’S
HV RACK
POWER SUPPLY MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED AND
OPERATED IN A LOCATION WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS ASSURED.
Should the end user decide to install the
UltraVolt HV Rack
power supply in an industrial 19” rack, UltraVolt
recommends using slide rails. The slide rails and mounting hardware should be of a type obtained through or
recommended for use by UltraVolt and correctly sized to support the weight of the
UltraVolt HV Rack
power
supply. Additionally, the screws used to attach the slide rails to either side of the
HV Rack
power supply must
be of the correct length to prevent contact with internal components.
Each slide kit contains 1 pair of slides for the left and right side of the chassis. The slides are symmetrical and
individual components can be used interchangeably. Each slide kit consists of four brackets, two slide sections
(including two chassis inside sections), and hardware (figures 1, 2 and 3).
1) Fully extend each chassis slide assembly, pulling the chassis inside section (item 1) outwards until the
chassis and the intermediate sections (item 2) lock into place.
2) Remove the chassis section by grasping the slide assembly and pressing the button lock on the outside of
the chassis inside section. Pull the chassis inside section free.
3) UltraVolt’s
HV Rack
system is equipped with PEM nut-mounting patterns on both sides to mount the
rack slides’ chassis sections. Mount the chassis inside sections to each side of the
UltraVolt HV Rack
power-supply chassis with four (4) each of the supplied 10-32x1/4 pan-head machine screws (item 10).
When doing so, ensure the button stop on the end of the chassis inside section is oriented towards the rear of
the system (figure 1).
4) Assemble the front-end brackets (item 4) to the outside of each slide (item 3) with four (4) supplied 10-
32x1/2 pan-head machine screws, four (4) flat washers (item 15), and four (4) 10-32 locking nuts (item 21).
Before tightening, ensure the two sections are aligned straight with one another and that the distance
between the forward end of the front bracket and the forward end of the slide measures 3.89”, as indicated
(figure 2). Tighten all hardware.
5) Install the rear-end brackets (item 4) to the outside of each slide (item 3) with four (4) supplied 10-32x1/2
pan-head machine screws, four (4) flat washers (item 15), and four (4) 10-32 locking nuts (item 21). Do not
tighten at this time.
6) Determine the height at which UltraVolt’s
HV Rack
system is to be positioned in the industrial rack.
Position and hold the previously assembled slide section with two attached end brackets in place, with the
right angle slotted flange towards the inside edges of the industrial rack. Slip a 10-32x1/2 screw (item 11)
through the front of the industrial rack-mounting edge and through the front slotted end flange. Secure with
a split ring locking washer (item 16) and a nut (item 20), capturing the slotted flange between the nut and
industrial rack-mounting inside edge. Repeat this for the rear bracket. Double up the fasteners on both the
front and rear mounting screws; two screws in front and two in back for each side. Tighten all hardware.
7) Fully extend and lock the slide into place. With the help of an assistant, lift the
UltraVolt HV Rack
power supply, aligning the chassis inside sections with the extended slide sections and slip into place. Then,
