Location, Mounting and Ventilation
Ventilation
Requirements
The power supply may be used in rack mounted or benchtop applications. In either
case, sufficient space must be allowed for cooling air to reach the ventilation inlets
in the top and on each side of the unit and for the fan exhaust air to exit from the rear
of the unit.
Rack
Mounting
The power supply is designed to fit in a standard 19 in. equipment rack. Bolt holes
in the chassis sides are provided for rack mount slides such as the ZERO #C300S18
slides. When installing the unit in a rack, be sure to provide adequate support for the
rear of the unit while not obstructing the ventilation inlets on the sides of the unit.
Bus Bar
Cover
An optional busbar cover is available for bench-top power supplies. This will guard
against injury from the exposed bus-bars at voltages above 42 Vdc. Rack mounted
supplies are already protected.
