Sorensen SGI Series Installation
M550221-01 Rev U 2-3
2.3.1 Rack Mounting
The SGI Series models are designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack compliant to EIA-310. If additional instrumentation is mounted
in the rack, no additional clearance is required above or below units of the SGI
Series.
Support the unit by using appropriate L-brackets or rack mount slides; suggested slides
are listed as follows:
Rack Mount Slide Kit:
5–15 kW units: AMETEK P/N K550212-01
20–30 kW units: AMETEK P/N K550213-01
Secure the front panel of the unit to the rack using the screws provided.
2.3.2 6U Chassis Removal from Rack
WARNING!
A minimum three-person lift is required for the 6U SGI Series
unit, which weighs up to 160 lb (73 kg) depending on the model.
The slides have a front disconnect feature and lock at full extension. To
disconnect and remove the chassis from the rack, depress the flat steel spring
(located on the slides) inward, and pull the chassis forward. To return the
chassis back into the rack from full extension, depress the flat steel spring
(located on the slides) inward, and push the chassis back.
When the chassis is at full extension, the flat springs are located
approximately 1” behind the front EIA RETMA rails. Access the springs with a
flat blade screwdriver or similar device to release from lock-out or to remove
the chassis from the rack. The slides can be mounted to the chassis with this
spring oriented on the top or the bottom of the slide.
