3.2 Rack Mount Enclosure w/ Direct Drive to DC Motors
This section describes the mechanical and electrical interfaces of the RC4500 in a rack mount enclosure.
3.2.1 Mechanical Mounting
The RC4500 enclosure is available as a standard rack mount chassis that occupies two rack units (2U).
The front panel is mounted via four (4) 10-32 screws. Due to the length and weight of the RC4500, much
strain can be put on the faceplate. To help alleviate stress on the front panel mounting, additional
mounting points accepting 10-32 screws are provided on each side of the unit. The user may use any of
these additional mounting points to provide support for the RC4500 via strapping, shelving, etc. The
mounting points on the sides may also accommodate a rack slide.
CAUTION: support of the back of the RC4500 chassis is a requirement. RCI’s warranty does not
cover repair to units with ripped faceplates.
The RC4500’s LCD is optimized for viewing from a 6 o’clock position. The optimum position to mount the
unit would therefore be above the operator’s eye level.
The following diagram shows the typical dimensions (in inches) of the RC4500.
