4.3 Installation Preparation
4.3.1 Safety considerations before installation
Review safety notes in section
•
When using a 19" rack, rails suitable for the width of the housing and the weight of the unit are to
be used. (see
8. Model Specifications Appendix
)
•
Before connecting to the mains ensure that the connection is as shown on the product label. Over-
voltage on the AC supply can cause equipment damage.
4.3.2 Mounting the unit
•
Select the location for the equipment so that the connection to the load is as short as possible.
•
Leave sufficient space behind the equipment, minimum 30 cm (1 ft), for ventilation.
•
The unit is not stackable.
•
Do not put anything with a total weight of more than 1 kg (2.5 lb) on top of the unit.
With all models, mounting brackets are included to mount the unit in a 19” rack. A rackmount installation will usually
mount the power supply on suitable weight-rated rails (not included), and installed in 19” racks or cabinets. The depth
of the power supply and rack, and its weight must be taken into account when selecting rails. The handles on the front
are for sliding in and out of the cabinet. Slots on the mounting brackets of the front panel are for securing the unit to the
rack’s vertical rails to prevent inadvertent movement on the slides.
If the unit will be used in a table top setting, the brackets may be removed, and self-adhesive feet attached to the bottom
of the unit.
Acceptable and unacceptable installation positions relative to a table surface.
