2.2.5 Reliable Earthing
Proper mains earth grounding of the electronic rack system and rack mounted equipment should be maintained. To ensure
proper and reliable grounding of the XDS-PRO Receiver, the electronic rack system shall employ either permanently wired
mains connection or use pluggable equipment type B type wiring in a restricted access location with proper equipotential
bonding applied. The XDS-PRO Receiver includes a rear panel grounding stud for connection to the electronic rack ground
rails.
The XDS-PRO Receiver must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.
Laite on liitettävä suojakoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan
Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt
Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag
Warning! Make sure all rack mounted equipment and the electronic rack system is properly
grounded.
2.2.6 Circuit Overloading
The XDS-PRO receiver can draw up to 1.5 Amps at 120 VAC as indicated on the back of the receiver. When adding the
receiver to an already existing rack setup, take care to ensure the maximum current rating of the circuit is not exceeded.
2.2.7 Foreign Objects
Warning!
Inserting any type of foreign object into the ventilation holes of the receiver can result
in shock or serious injury of the operator.
If a foreign object is inserted into the receiver, immediately power down the receiver and contact ATX technical support. Do not
open the receiver, as doing so will void the receiver’s warranty.
2.3 Physical Installation of the Receiver
The following section will guide you through the physical installation of the XDS-PRO receiver.
2.3.1 Rack Mounting the Receiver
The XDS-PRO receiver has been specifi cally designed for installation and operation in an EIA standard 19-inch equipment
rack. When mounting it in the rack, use pan or round head screws and fl at washers in all four front panel mounting locations.
Caution!
Do not paint mounting ears as it hinders the grounding path from the receiver to the rack
.
2.3.2 Uneven Loading of Rack
When installing the XDS-PRO receiver in a free standing or unsecured rack, make sure to place heavier pieces of equipment
on the bottom and lighter pieces on the top.
Caution!
Uneven loading may cause the rack to be unstable and hazardous.
2.4 Connecting the Receiver to a Satellite Dish
This section contains information required for connecting your XDS-PRO receiver to a satellite downlink.
2.4.1 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
Before attempting to install the XDS-PRO receiver, make sure the antenna and cable system is properly grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm) aluminum, No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad steel or bronze
wire or larger, as ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet
(1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house.
d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode where other types of electrode systems do not exist. Refer to
