Instrument Location and Rack Mounting Requirements
Instrument Location and Rack Mounting Requirements
Locating the instrument
Make sure that the fan inlet and exhaust vent areas on the sides of the
instrument are not obstructed. The minimal required clearance is 2 inches.
Airflow restrictions cause additional airflow noise and cause the fans to speed
up so they can draw in enough air for the required cooling. This results in
excessive audible noise.
Cooling and rack mounting
Do not rack mount the receiver side-by-side with any other instrument with
side-by-side ventilation. Make sure the exhaust air from the first instrument is
directed away from the inlet of the second unit. If the pre-heated air from the
first instrument is directed into the second instrument, it can cause excessive
operating temperatures in the second unit and can cause instrument failures.
The instrument draws air in from the left side and exhausts air from the right
side.
Safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the
assembler of the system.
When installing the product in a cabinet, the convection into and out of the
product must not be restricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet)
must be less than the maximum operating temperature of the product by 4° C for
every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the
cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced convection must be used.
