MOUNTING AND VENTILATION
The 4400 and 4800 Series Automatic Mixers are designed for rack mounting in a stan-
dard EIA 19 inch equipment rack. When rack mounting these mixers, there are several
considerations which must be kept in mind.
Physically, each mixer requires one EIA rack space (1.75) inches. However, adequate
ventilation space must be provided for heat removal. For this reason, one empty EIA
rack space must be left between mixers. Do not cover the empty rack space with a solid
panel. Use a perforated or louvered vent panel.
If they are not mounted in a rack, do not stack mixers directly on each other. Space them
1.75 inches apart, allowing for the free flow of air between them. Do not block the louvers
in the tops.
Rack mounting is usually accomplished with four 10-32 flat head machine screws and
cup washers. This prevents scratching of the front panel when appearance is important.
but it does not provide grounding. If grounding to the rack is required, it is recom-
mended that a grounding strap be added. If appearance is not critical, then the use of
four round head or pan head screws with lock washers, but no cup washers, will provide
grounding.
