INSTALLATION
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
As soon as the equipment is received, inspect carefully for any ship-
ping damage. If damage is suspected, notify the carrier at once, and
then contact Inovonics.
We recommend that you retain the original shipping carton and
packing materials, just in case return or reshipment becomes neces-
sary. In the event of return for Warranty repair, shipping damage
sustained as a result of improper packing for return
may invalidate
the Warranty!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
that the Warranty Registra-
tion Card found at the front of this Manual be completed
and returned. Registration may also be completed online
at www.inovon.com. Not only does registration assure
coverage of the equipment under terms of the Warranty
and provide a means of tracing lost or stolen gear, but
registration also ensures that the user will automatically
receive any service or modification instructions.
MOUNTING
Rack
Requirement
The Model 261 mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and
requires only 1¾ inches (1U) of vertical rack space. We recommend
screws with plastic washers to protect the painted finish around the
mounting holes.
Heat Dissipation
Consuming less power than a fish-tank air pump, the 261 itself gen-
erates negligible heat. The unit is specified for operation within an
ambient temperature range extending from freezing to 120°F/50°C.
Be aware that adjacent, less efficient equipment may radiate sub-
stantial second-hand heat, so be sure that the equipment rack is
adequately ventilated to keep its internal temperature below the
specified maximum ambient.
AC (MAINS) POWER
Fuseholder
The fuseholder is at the far left of the front panel. Apply downward
pressure and pull the cap outward to access the 5mm mains fuse.
Note that the cap has space for a spare fuse as well. The cap is re-
