Observe the following installation constraints:
Do not hang the PCS from the loose panel mounting hardware.
Support the PCS weight from underneath while tightening the
panel mounting hardware.
• Observe the environmental limitations starting on page 7-3.
• Do not install the PCS where it may come into direct contact with
water or high concentrations of dust.
• The PCS may be mounted in a shock isolating 19-inch instrument
rack if one is available. The PCS occupies two rack units of space in
a 19-inch (48.3 centimetre) instrument rack.
• Do not mount the PCS to a vibrating surface or one that may
experience severe shocks.
• A minimum of 15 cm (~6 in) clearance is required behind the PCS
cabinet for cable connection and ventilation. Do not restrict the airflow
intakes located on each side of the cabinet. If necessary, provide
additional fan ventilation inside the instrument rack to prevent
overheating.
• Provide sufficient cable lengths to allow easy connection to the ports
on the PCS rear panel.
Rear Panel Electrical Connections
The rear panel of the PCS provides connections for power and
communications with sensors and other devices, see
