Installation and Setup
Site Recommendations
When placing the enclosure, follow the recommendations and precautions in this section to reduce potential installation
and operation hazards.
Environment
Choose a clean, dust free, (preferably) air-conditioned location.
Avoid areas with direct sunlight, heat sources, or high levels of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).
To make control panel operations easier, mount the enclosure with the control panel in the rack at eye level.
Chassis Accessibility
Make sure the front and rear panels of the enclosure are accessible, so that you can monitor the LED indicators. Leaving
adequate clearance at the rear will also allow for easier cabling and service.
Power
The source’s electrical outlet should be installed near the router, easily accessible, and properly grounded. Power should
come from a building branch circuit. We recommend using a dedicated line for the system’s power. To avoid an
overload, note the power consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit breaker before applying
power.
General Hazard Precautions
These recommendations address potential hazards that are common to all installations:
Elevated Operating Temperature
The maximum rated ambient temperature for the HDMI UTPro enclosure is 113° F (45° C).
All equipment should be installed in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient
temperature. In a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the ambient room temperature.
Airflow Restriction
The HDMI UTPro enclosure is designed to adequately dissipate the heat it produces under normal operating conditions;
however, this design is defeated when high heat producing equipment is placed directly above or below the enclosure.
The previous statement also applies to the HDMI-UTPRO-RX Receivers.
Mechanical (Rack) Loading
When installing equipment in a rack, distribute the weight to avoid uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuits, be aware of the effect that overloading the circuits might have on
over-current protection and supply wiring.
Caution
:
To protect the equipment from overheating, do not operate in an area that exceeds 113° F (45° C)
and follow the clearance recommendations in the “Caution” below for adequate airflow.
Caution
:
To prevent overheating, avoid placing high heat producing equipment directly above or below the
enclosure or the Receivers. The enclosure requires a minimum of one empty rack unit above and below
(three empty rack units are recommended). The Receivers should not be stacked to allow for adequate
cooling. If mounting in a rack using some type of tray, a minimum of one empty rack unit above and below is
recommended. Verify that the openings on the sides of the enclosure and the front and back of the
Receivers are not blocked and do not have restricted air flow.
