Before Installing on a Rack

5 Installing on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing on a rack and how to rack mount.

How to Rack Mount

Before installing on a rack, be sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade

Operating humidity range

Storage temperature range

Storage humidity range

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the room ambient temperature.

Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the

machine.

The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal

position.

You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips), and that you use only the power cord that is supplied with the machine.

5 to 65% RHL, non-condensing

-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade

5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing



CAUTION!!

To rack-mount a machine:

Attach both ear brackets to the machine. To do so, remove the screws from each side of the machine (3 on each side), and replace those screws through the ear brackets.

Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the proper screws (not provided) through each of the four holes in the rack ears.

Note that:



In some models, the front panel may feature built-in rack ears

Detachable rack ears can be removed



10 CVG-724xl Communication Protocol

This protocol includes two types of commands: 3 bytes and 4 bytes.

In the 3 bytes command type, the scaler operates in a fast mode because it does not save the information immediately. The sent command is executed immediately, but the status of the scaler is saved in the non-volatile memory only after 30 sec of no activity.

In the 4 bytes command type, the scaler executes the save process immediately after each command. This operation consumes more time (adding about 2 sec).

Set and Get command:

Set Command: YControl_TypeFunctionParamCR

 Reply: ZControl_TypeFunctionParamCRDone>CR

Get Command: YControl_TypeFunctionParamCR

Reply: ZControl_TypeFunctionParamCR

Example:

1. "Y 1170-127CR" -> set Contrast value. (4th byte is between 0 and

127). "Z1170-127CR>" --> Reply value "DoneCR" --> command setting success

2. "Y4210-17CR" -> get current output resolution. (4th byte is between 0 and 17). "Z4210-17CR>" -> Reply value

3. "Y035CR" -> Volume down. Each time we apply this command will decrease the volume level by one step. "Z035CR>"-->Reply value "DoneCR" --> command setting success

Definition:

: ASCII Code 0x20

CR: Ascii Code 0xD or 0xA

After set type Command setting, system will respond a string as "Done"
