Installation Instructions

Secure Racking

If Secure Racked units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, they may require further

evaluation by Certication Agencies. The following items must be considered.

1. The ambient within the rack may be greater than room ambient. Installation should be such
that the amount of air ow required for safe operation is not compromised. The maximum
temperature for the equipment in this environment is 45°C. Consideration should be given to the
maximum rated ambient.

2. Installation should be such that a hazardous stability condition is not achieved due to uneven
loading.

Input Supply

Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that could have an eect
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Grounding

Reliable earthing of this equipment must be maintained. Particular attention should be given to
supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct connections to the branch
circuit.

No Serviceable Parts Inside; Authorized Service Personnel Only
