Installation and Operation, cont’d

Installation and Operation

Mounting the BUC 102

The BUC 102 can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, mounted under a desk or table, or installed on a projector mount.

Tabletop use

The BUC 102 comes with four, self-adhesive rubber feet (not attached). For a tabletop installation:

1. Attach the rubber feet to the underside of the BUC 102 near

the corners of the unit.

2. Place the BUC 102 unit in the desired location.

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the BUC 102 in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in

a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the BUC 102 in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that

the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack

so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the

supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable

grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

BUC 102 • Installation and Operation

Rack installation

The BUC 102 can be rack mounted using either the RSF 123 VersaTools 19" 1U rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-20), the RSB 123 basic VersaTools rack shelf (Extron part #60-604-20), the RSU 129 standard universal 1U rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-01), or the RSB 129 1U basic rack shelf (Extron part #60-604-01). Figure 1 shows the VersaTools rack shelf, and Figure 2 shows a standard rack shelf. On the standard rack shelf, there are eight mounting locations at the front of the shelf or eight at the rear of the shelf.

installed.

2. Mount the unit on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16"

screws. These screws go into holes on the underside of the unit near the left-front and right-rear corners.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted on a VersaTools rack shelf.

3. Install blank panels (included with Extron part #60-190-xx,

optional with Extron part #60-604-xx) or other units on the rack shelf.

Installation and Operation, cont’d

Back of the rack installation

The BUC 102 can be conveniently mounted on the rear of a rack by using the MBB 100 Extron back of the rack mounting kit (Extron part #70-367-01). The back of the rack mounting kit allows the BUC 102 to be vertically positioned.

1. Attach the back of the rack mounting brackets, one bracket

at a time (see note below), to the sides of the BUC using the two cover screws on each side of the BUC.

The four side cover screws also fasten the top cover, so install the brackets one side at a time.

2. Mount the unit on the rack using the two included rack

screws. The BUC 102 can be vertically mounted facing in either direction, as shown here.

3. Attach the BUC 102 to the furniture. a. Hold the unit against the underside of the table or

other furniture, and mark the locations for four screws (two screws per bracket) on the mounting surface.

b. At each mark, drill a 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot hole

approximately 1/4" (6 mm) deep in the mounting surface.

c. Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten

each screw into the mounting surface until just less than 1/4" (6 mm) of the screw protrudes.

d. Align the bracket slots with the wood screws and place

the unit against the mounting surface.
