AC Power
Always plug the unit into a properly grounded (earthed) outlet. Always use
the AC line cord that was shipped with the unit. Grasp the power cable by the
connector and never by the cord itself when connecting and disconnecting
it from the power source.
Do not expose the Pro64 device to moisture, rain, or excessively damp
environments.
AC Line Conditioning
Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes
and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning,
power outages, etc., can sometimes damage electronic equipment.
To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes
in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power
source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available
with built‑in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment.
Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC
line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an
uninterruptible power supply, or UPS).
Rack Mounting
Pro64 products are designed to be mounted in a 19‑inch equipment rack.
The rack ears on each side of the device are designed to support the weight
of the product without additional hardware. Each rack ear contains holes for
two screws per side. Always support the unit with all four screws to avoid
damage to the unit.
To rack mount the Pro64 product, position it in the equipment rack at the
desired location. Use standard rack‑mounting screws (10‑32 size) to attach
the unit to your rack hardware. Tighten all four screws firmly, but avoid
overtightening.
Aviom suggests the use of non‑metallic washers between the rack‑mounting
screws and the device’s finished surface to avoid marring the finish on your
Aviom products.
