Operation location requirements
The VSDxx has an IP 40 degree of protection against dust and humidity (according to IEC529).
You have to ensure a mounting or operation location, where no danger of entering fluids will exist.
Furthermore you must ensure compliance with the specified environment conditions (see chapter 8.2), es-
peciually temperature and relative humidity.
2.4
Setup and mounting
You can operate VSDxx „desktop“ on a shelf or tabletop, by sticking the four rubber stickers to each corner
of the bottom of the VSDxx unit. With that stickers, small roughness of your table is compensated and the
unit will not slide away on flat surfaces.
Alternatively, you can mount the VSDxx into a 19-inch rack, using the brackets supplied. The mounting of
the brackets is simple, you just need a screwdriver (size PH2). Start on the left hand side of the unit (front is
the side with the buttons, top is top when reading the front panel tags correctly) and unmount the two
front and the two middle screws completely. Take the one bracket with the center cutout and attach it to
the left hand side of VSDxx, using the longer M4x5 screews contained in the bracket’s bag. After that, the
ventilation cutout of the VSDxx chassis should not be blocked significantly by the newly attached bracked.
Repeat procedure on the right hand side, using the remaining bracket.
When operated desktop or rack-mount, please ensure that nothing will cover the ventilation cutouts on
the lefthand side of the unit.

Electrical connections
2.5.1
mains connection
Please attach mains cord (supplied with shipment) into the IEC-320 connector of the VSDxx. This connector
is located on the back side of the unit. Now plug the mains plug into the wall outlet of your installation.
The VSDxx has no power switch, it will immediately start operation when plugged into a “hot” wall outlet.
The unit will boot and ready for operation after 10..15 seconds.
The blue LED of the power button (caption: O/I, rightmost front button) will be permanentely on, when
unit is powered and active. Each time, the main power fails and returns, the VSDxx will return to the
ACTIVE state!
As the unit has no main power switch, it will be ON after attaching the unit to a powered wall out-
let. To have the VSDxx de-energised, please detach mains power cable!
Never expose any cables to mechanical stress like strong bending or pull. This can damage cables
and impact security!
