5.3 Installing the Frame
The console is designed for indoor use in a dust-free environment.
The studio version comes ready for table-top mounting. The OB-Van version is designed for mounting onto a
crossbar (not supplied). Note that a separate OB-Van mounting kit is not required, as the screw threads are
integrated into the frame.
The frame must be mounted so that the faders work in a horizontal manner. It is forbidden to use the device in
any other position, due to the convection airflow through and along the device.
All plug-in connectors are located on the front buffer and rear panel. Therefore, when installing, please leave
enough room for the cables. You must also make sure that there is sufficient airflow around the device for cooling.
Dimensions and Weight
The dimensions and weight vary depending on the frame variant.
Mechanical drawings and data sheets for all frame variants are available from the Lawo Download-Center (after
login).
Temperature and Cooling
Proper operation of the control surface can only be guaranteed at an ambient
temperature between 10° C and 40° C and a relative humidity between 15%
and 85% (not condensing).
To keep the control surface cool in extreme conditions, the front panel is
fitted with slow turning low noise fans which are temperature controlled.
When relying on convection cooling, it is vital to observe the minimum
distances around the frame. The sticker on the rear of the frame summarizes
the requirements.
ALWAYS observe the minimum distances around the console frame to allow for ventilation and cable ducting.
Take care that no devices or cables obstruct the flow of air and, thereby, hinder cooling.
