General Directives

Safety Precautions

To avoid injury and prevent equipment damage, observe the following safety precautions:

 Do not move or ship equipment unless it is correctly packed in its original wrapping and

shipping containers.

 Only Harmonic trained personnel can undertake equipment service and maintenance.
 To prevent damage by lightning, ground the unit according to local regulations.
 Do not permit unqualified personnel to operate the unit.

Chapter 1

Ellipse™ 3000 Installation Guide

Power Supply to the Unit

To ensure correctly and safely operation of the unit, the following are required:

 Adding to the system a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) and an AVR (Automated Voltage

Regulator) is highly recommended.

 Installing the main power supply by a qualified electrician, according to power authority

regulations. Make sure all powering are wired with an earth leakage, according to local
regulations.

 It is recommended to install the encoder within 1.5m (approx. 5 feet) from an easily accessible

grounded AC outlet.

 When the encoder is rack-mounted, ensure that the rack is correctly grounded.

DANGER: Ensure that the rack is correctly grounded by a qualified electrician. Incorrectly grounded
equipment may result in electrical shock.

Inventory Check

Before installation, ensure that all the equipment and the attached parts are available and
undamaged, according to the following list:

NOTE: For rack installation, ensure that a designated 19" rack is fully prepared for installation. Ensure
sufficient space behind the rack for easy access for installation and maintenance.

The following sections detail the installation of an Ellipse 3000 unit in a 19" rack using the
dedicated mounting slides.

Installing the Brackets

To prepare the Ellipse for rack installation:

1. Fasten a pair of brackets to both side rails of the rack housing by using two flat washer screws

Installing the L Shape Slides

The Ellipse uses forced air ventilation, evacuating the air toward the left side panel (left wall) of
the 19" rack. To ensure smooth airflow, special L shape slides are provided for rack mounting. To
install the L shape slides:

1. Ensure that the brackets are fastened with appropriate screws to each side of the chassis’

ra

DANGER: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. Th
safety.

 This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
 If the rack will hold a number of units, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the

heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

 If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or

servicing the unit in the rack.

ATTENTION: Pour éviter toute blessure corporelle pendant les opérations de montage ou de réparation de
cette unité en casier, il convient de prendre des précautions spécia
Les directives ci-dessous sont destinées à assurer la protection du personnel.

 Si cette unité constitue la seule unité montée en casier, elle doit être placée dans le bas.
 Si cette unité est montée dans un casier partiellement rempli, charger le casier de bas en haut

en plaçant l’élément le plus lourd dans le bas.

 Si le casier est équipé de dispositifs stabilisateurs, installer les stabilisateurs avant de monter ou

de réparer l'unité en casier.

Chapter 1 Ellipse™ 3000 Installation Guide

NOTE: The maximum number of encoders per a 19"/42U rack is 35 (seven groups of five units).

CAUTION: Ensure that a sufficient amount of airflow enters the Ellipse 3000 from the left side (from the

front panel point of view).

NOTE: Consider if other devices in the rack use airflow in the opposite direction.

Installation Instructions

To mount the 19"/42U rack with the Ellipse 3000 units:

1. Verify using of appropriate brackets and L shape slides according to Installing the Brackets and

Installing the L Shape Slides.

2. Mount the Ellipse in groups of five units

3. Leave one-unit-space between each group of five units.

Electrical Power Installation

DANGER: To avoid electrocution ensure that the rack has been correctly grounded before switching on the
unit. When removing the unit remove the grounding connection on
unplugged.

VORSICHT! Zur Vermeidung von lebensgefährlichem Stromschlag muss vor Einschalten des Geräts
sichergestellt werden, dass das Rack vorschriftsmäßig geerdet wurde. Bei Entnahme des Geräts ist dieses
zuerst auszuschalten und von der Stromversorgung zu trennen, bevor der Erdungsanschluss entfernt wird.

DANGER: Pour éviter l’électrocution, assurez-vous que le rack a bien été mis à la terre avant de mettre
l’unité en marche. Lors du retrait de l’unité, retirer le
l’unité à l’arrêt et l’avoir débranchée.

CAUTION: This product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit (overcurrent)
protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 20 A U.S. (240 VAC, 20 A
international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
