IPCP Pro Series • Hardware Features and Installation 15
This receiver accepts infrared signals from 30 kHz to 300 KHz. The IR remote control must be
pointed directly at the receiver for best results. The front panel diagrams (see the bottom of
figure 6 on page13 and the right side of figure 7 on page14) indicate the best distances
and angles (15 degrees off axis from the receiver) at which to hold the remote control.
Reset Features
Reset button and LED — Pressing this recessed button causes various product settings
to be reset to the factory defaults. The green power LED blinks depending on the selected
reset mode (see Resetting the Unit on page44 and the reset modes table starting on
page44 for details).
Mounting the IPCPProSeries
Mounting Options
Rack and furniture mounting
Optional 1U high rack shelves and a variety of rack mounting bracket kits and furniture
mounting kits are available for use with most of the IPCPPro models. Visit the product-
specific page on the Extron website (www.extron.com) for a list of compatible accessories
for mounting your control processor or call a support representative to find out which kit
to order for your installation. Read the instructions that are included with the rack shelf or
mounting kit for installation procedures and see the UL rack mounting guidelines below for
safe installation.
DIN rail mounting
The IPCPPro350DR and IPCPPro355DR mount to a standard 35mm “top hat” DIN rail
(EN50022, IEC60715, USTS35) system that uses rails that are 35 mm high x 7.5 mm
deep. See Rear Panel Features of DIN Rail Models on page16 to identify mounting
features, and see Mounting an IPCP DIN Rail Unit to a DIN Rail on page16 for
mounting instructions.
UL Rack Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of
IPCPProSeries control processors in a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the IPCP in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified
by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the
effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
