RACK MOUNTING
Because its toroidal transformer design has minimal magnetic leakage, the AR3600I
may be successfully installed in the same rack as other equipment. Though small for
a device capable of handling 30 amps, this leakage is not zero. It is wise to avoid
positioning the AR3600I immediately adjacent to equipment which handles low-level
signals, such as preamps, mike mixers, etc. Power amps or other high level devices
would make better “rack neighbors.” If excessive hum or buzz is present in the audio
signal, you may be able to reduce or eliminate it by leaving more empty spaces next
to the AR3600I.
Suggested rack locations would be near the top or bottom, with the bottom preferred
due to the AR3600I weight. Because the AR3600I generates considerable heat,
leaving at least one empty space above and one below is recommended to aid in
convective cooling. As with any rack-mount equipment, be sure to use 10-32
machine screws for mounting in the rack’s tapped holes. In particular, beware of 10-
24 screws, which may fit, if forced, but will strip the threads. To avoid marring the
front panel finish, use plastic washers under the screw heads.
OPERATION
FRONT PANEL FEATURES
INPUT VOLTMETER: Large size 7 segment 3 digit LED display, indicate the input
voltage in either of two ranges. The appropriate range is selected automatically.
OUTPUT AMMETER: Large size 7 segment 3 digit LED display with decimal,
indicates the output current.
OUTPUT VOLTMETER: Large size 7 segment 3 digit LED display, indicates the
output voltage.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE LED INDICATORS: This display indicates whether the output
voltage is within 5% of nominal 120V. It will light green when IN REGULATION, &
yellow if 5% OVER or 5% UNDER.
The yellow lights come on only when the input voltage is extremely far from normal.
However, that doesn’t necessarily mean your equipment won’t work (even 10%
below 120V is 108V, which is still adequate for most 120V equipment.)
INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE SELECTION: The AR3600I will detect the different of the
input voltage and automatically switch over to the appropriate operating voltage
range 80~134V (Low range) or 170~264V (High range).
