RackPack

Scope Of Delivery

•  The RackPack frame including all blind panels and the front panel (if modules are not fit-

ted already). Please note that all modules are shipped without the aluminum front panel.
You need it when you fit a module into the frame. Therefore make sure that you handle
the aluminum front panels with the same care and prudence as any other unit surface.
 All 
screws holding front and rear blind and front panels are needed for the fitting of modules. 
Two additional screws are shipped with every module.

•  The external power supply including the cable for connection to RackPack

•  The AC power cord to feed the IEC-spec, 3-prong connector

•  This manual

•  4-mm-Allen key required for the fitting of the module

Please save the original packaging. In service cases the original packaging ensures a safe 
shipping  and  handling.  It  is  also  useful  for  your  own  transports  if  you  don’t  use  a  special 
housing or rack. 

Placement

Place the unit on a level and stable surface.  The  unit’s  enclosure  is  EMC-safe  and  effec-
tively  shielded  against  HF  interference.  Nonetheless,  you  should  carefully  consider  where 
you place the unit to avoid electrical disturbances. It should be positioned so that you can 
easily reach it, but there are other considerations. Try not to place it near heat sources or in 
direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. It should also 
be  kept  away  from  transformers,  motors,  power  amplifiers  and  digital  processors.  Always 
ensure sufficient air circulation by keeping a distance of 4-5 cm/2 inches to other units and to 
the sides of the unit.

Rack Mounting

Be sure that both above and below the machine you maintain a distance of 4-5 cm/2 inches 
in order to eliminate electromagnetic or high frequency interference from other equipment. 
Moreover, this will ensure adequate air circulation to prevent overheating. Do NOT locate
other machines that produce excessive heat below the unit.
  The rear side of the machine 
should be properly supported – especially when transport is involved.

Placement Of The External Power Supply

Do not place the external power supply on top of the RackPack. Place the external power 
supply  on a level and stable surface  only. We recommend a distance of at least 50 cm/20 
inches  to  avoid  any  interferences  between  the  external  power  supply  and  the  RackPack 
frame or other devices.

Choose a place that is easily accessible so that you can switch off the external power supply 
quickly in case of an emergency.

Please mind the notes under “Power Connection” and “On And Off” on the next page.
