OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
T
HERMAL CONSIDERATIONS IN RACK MOUNTING
You can mount the LX20 in an equipment rack (taking up 3 rack spaces) or place it on
a table or shelf. When you install it, note that heat is the major enemy of electronic
equipment. Please observe the following:
• The LX20 is designed to perform properly over a range of ambient temperatures
from 10° C to +40° C (50° F to 104° F), in up to 80% non-condensing humidity.
These are not absolute limits, but Alesis cannot guarantee that the LX20 will
meet its published specs or remain reliable if operated outside of these ranges.
• Always allow adequate ventilation behind the LX20. Do not seal any enclosure
that holds the LX20. It is not necessary to leave an empty rack space above or
below the LX20 unless it runs hot enough to affect equipment above or below it.
If your environment is unusually warm and not air conditioned, space between
units will help the units run cooler and may lessen tape oxide shedding.
• Do not mount the LX20’s rack at a an angle. The LX20 should not be angled back
or mounted vertically.
