MACHINERY PROTECTION SYSTEM (MPS)
1.2.4 Instructions for locating and mounting
A POPULATED VM600
Mk2
/VM600 SYSTEM RACK (ABE04X) WITH MODULES/CARDS
AND
RACK POWER SUPPLIES INSTALLED IS A HEAVY OBJECT.
D
EPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF MODULES/CARDS AND RPS6U RACK POWER
SUPPLIES
INSTALLED, A VM600 SYSTEM RACK CAN BE TOO HEAVY TO LIFT, LOWER
OR
OTHERWISE HANDLE MANUALLY BY A SINGLE PERSON AND THERE IS THE RISK OF
INJURY
DURING INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL.

EE ALSO HEAVY OBJECTS AND THE RISK OF INJURY ON PAGE XI.
The positioning of the VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack shall allow easy access to the
on/off switch for the main supply.
A fully equipped VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack can weigh 23 kg, so the following
instructions apply:
• Two people are required to carry or mount the rack in its cabinet.
• Shelves, guide rails and other devices used to support the rack must be
strong enough to bear the weight of the rack.
For the standard version (PNR: 204-040-100-0xx), separate-circuits version
(PNR: 204-040-100-1xx) and rear-mounting version (PNR: 204-042-100-0xx)
of the VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack, deflection plates (barriers) must be installed
both above and below the rack.
The barriers installed above and below a VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack are
required to prevent unintentional access to the equipment in order to help
reduce the risk of electrical shock.
In addition, the barrier installed below a VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack is also
required in order to help prevent the spread of fire in the unlikely event that
one should occur. Accordingly, the barrier below the rack must be a
non-flammable separation barrier made of metal or a UL94 V-1 rated (or
better) material.

LECTRICAL SAFETY AND INSTALLATION ON PAGE X.
When inclined plates are used with a VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack in order to
deflect airflow and prevent warm air flowing into a rack, an inclined plate
can also function as a required deflection plate (barrier) if it is made from
an appropriate material. See 1.2.1 Ventilation.
