Installation Information
Atmosphere
The units should be installed in an area that is not subject to excessive temperature
variation (<0°C, >50°C), moisture, dust or vibration.
Electromagnetic Radiation
The cover is connected to earth by means of the fixing screws. It is essential to maintain
this earth ground connection to ensure a safe operating environment and provide
electromagnetic shielding.
Fitting Redboxes
Redboxes can be fixed to the underside of a mixing desk, or other surfaces using 4.2mm
holes in the sides and fixed with 2 x M4 screws or 2 x No. 6 countersink wood screws.
They can also be rack-mounted, with either the front, or rear of the Redbox positioned at
the front of the rack:
Rear Mounting The RB-DMX4: The RB-RK3 1U rear panel rack kit can be used for large
Redboxes such as the RB-DMX4.
Fig D: RB-RK3 Large Redbox Rear Rack-mount Kit
Note: When fitting the rear-mounting rack-kits, a notch has been left on the inside of
the right-hand rack-piece for the mains cable to pass through. Make sure that the mains
cable has been put through the notch before attaching the right hand rack-piece.
Installing the Optional Video Sync Boards
There are 2 optional video sync boards which can be used to synchronise the outputs of
the RB-DMX4 to a 48kHz sample rate from an analogue or digital video signal:
RB-SYA - The Analogue video sync board will accept a composite signal of NTSC (525), PAL
(625) & SECAM (625) signals covered by SMPTE-170-M (NTSC) and ITU-R BT.470-6 (PAL &

covered by SMPTE-259-M-C (SD) and SMPTE-292M (HD).
Opening the RB-DMX4

disconnected before attempting to open the unit. Removal of the cover can expose
dangerous voltages.
