• Installation
•
The permissible ambient temperature range for operation of the semiconductor components is 13 to 158°F
(-10 to 40°C) (commercial temperature range for operation).
•
The air flow through the installation must allow exhaust air to remain cooler than 70 °C at all times.
•
Average temperature increase of the cooling air shall be about 20 °C, allowing for an additional maximum 10
°C increase at the hottest components.
If the cooling function of the installation must be monitored (e.g. for illumination with spot lamps), the
exhaust air temperature must be measured directly above the modules at several places within the enclosure.
Grounding and Power Supply
Grounding of units with mains supply (class I equipment) is performed via the protective earth (PE) conductor
integrated in three pin Phoenix connector. Units with battery operation (< 60 V, class III equipment) must be
earthed separately. Grounding the unit is one of the measures for protection against electrical shock hazard
(dangerous body currents). Hazardous voltage may not only be caused by defective power supply insulation,
but may also be introduced by the connected audio or control cables.
This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the avail-
able power source at installation. If the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified per-
sonnel.
Power Requirements and Mounting
Flexible mounting allows the FP1004E to be rack shelf mounted or used in a standalone configuration. Up to
3 FP1004E units can be mounted on a TDR-01 shelf and powered by a single, integral cable. Alternately, the
FP1004E can be used in a standalone application when paired with the included DC wall adapter.
Redundant Power
Both the wall adapter and Phoenix connector can be connected simultaneously. The two power inputs are
diode combined for load balancing. Hitless redundant powering is achieved when both power connections are
utilized.
Standalone
For standalone applications, the FP1004E comes with 4 peel-and-stick rubber feet. Simply peel the paper back-
ing from the rubber foot and affix to four corners of the FP1004E.
Surface Mount
Surface mounting on a wall, desk, or other vertical surface can be accomplished by using either the supplied
peel-and-stick Velcro pads, or by using the integrated keyhole mounts with the supplied wood screws (see
To use the wood screws:
1.
Mark the surface using the supplied template
2.
Screw the #2 ½-inch wood screws into the surface at each mark
3.
Leave a small amount of thread to accommodate the thickness of the FP1004E case
4.
Put the large part of the keyhole over the screw head and pull to engage
