Rack Installation (Cont.)

Rack-mount Considerations

A. Elevated Operating Ambient

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient tempera-

ture of the rack environment may be greater

than room ambient. Therefore, consideration

should be given to installing the equipment

in an environment compatible with the maxi-

mum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by

the manufacturer (see “Specifications” infor-

mation in this document).

B. Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should

be such that the amount of air flow required

for safe operation of the equipment is not

compromised. Do NOT stack other equipment

on the top of the PCS100R unit.

C. Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the con-

nection of the equipment to the supply circuit

and the effect that overloading of the circuits

might have on overcurrent protection and

supply wiring.

D. Reliable Earthing

Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted

equipment. Particular attention should be

given to supply connections other than direct

connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of

power strips).

E. Mains Outlet Earthing

The apparatus with Class I construction must

be connected to a mains socket outlet with a

protective earthing connection.
