1.2 Bench Top use
The XDS Series DC Supply may be used as a bench top unit provided adequate provisions are
made to protect the end-user from touching the output terminals. To this end, output covers are
provided on all XDS units. These covers must be installed during use and may only be removed
when the unit is not in use and disconnected from AC mains.
Adequate air flow must be maintained at all times so care should be taken not to block the front,
top and side air intakes or the rear air exhaust. Leave at least 4" of clearance at the back of the
unit to allow proper airflow.
1.3 Equipment Rack use
The XDS Series uses a 19" cabinet with rack ears and can be installed in a standard equipment
rack. Due to the weight of the unit however, it must be properly supported by either a shelf or L
brackets on both sides. The rack ears are not designed to support the full weight of the XDS unit
when installed in a cabinet but only to prevent it from sliding out.
Contact Argantix customer support (
) for information on rack mount kits for
specific cabinets depths.
Proper airflow must be maintained in the instrument cabinet and the rear of the cabinet should
not be closed off by a door but rather a perforated screen allowing adequate airflow. It is also
important to leave enough clearance above each unit as some of the air intake is on the top
cover.
Note:
For optimal cooling, it is recommended to leave a 1.75" (1 U) space above
each XDS unit.
This space may be covered by a louvered cover plate to allow some air intake from the front of
the cabinet. When planning cabinet space, allow for 4U per DC supply.
If insufficient rack space is available, the top vents may be blocked off by stacking units directly
on top of each other but maximum power may not be available at maximum ambient temperature
due to over temp fault.
