2.4 Mounting the Device

The RUGGEDCOM RX1400 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility.

It can be equipped with brackets that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in) rack,

35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail, or directly on a panel.

NOTICE

Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it

is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the

device to allow for some convectional airflow.

Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduc-

tion of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment

mounted in the rack space.

Note

For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware in-

stalled, refer to "Dimension Drawings (Page 39)".

2.4.1 Mounting the Device to a Rack

For rack mount installations, the RUGGEDCOM RX1400 can be equipped with rack

mount adapters pre-installed on the chassis.

CAUTION

Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device.

Before installing the device in a rack, make sure of the following:

• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware the operat-

ing ambient temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient tempera-

ture of the room. Make sure the rack is installed in a suitable environment that

can withstand the maximum ambient temperature generated by the rack.

• Make sure each device in the rack is separated by at least one rack-unit of space,

or 44 mm (1.75 in), to promote convectional airflow. Forced airflow is not re-

quired. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient

temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in

the rack space.

• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified

by the rack manufacturer.

• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and pow-

er supply ratings specified by the rack manufacturer.

• Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection.

Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than direct connec-

tions to the branch circuit (e.g. power strips).
