3.2 RACK INSTALLATION
The ST Power Supply is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch electronic
instrument rack. Any suitable place on a vacuum system that has a standard 19-inch-
wide opening may be used.
The ST Controller could, for example, be set directly on a system cabinet top for easy
access or be mounted in a 19-inch, 1U high, electronic instrument rack. The HVPS
requires an opening that is 5U high.
For maximum operating ease, the controller should be mounted at approximately eye
level. The HVPS should be placed at the bottom of the 19-inch rack.
If the HVPS is mounted in a rack containing other heat generating equipment, care
should be taken that there is adequate ventilation to assure that the ambient
temperature does not exceed the ST Power Supply’s temperature rating.
The temperature of the environment.
Exceeding the allowable temperature of the device
may damage the unit. Chassis supports must not
block air passages located on the unit’s side panels.
A fan located on the left side panel pulls air in through
a heatsink located on the right-side panel. Intake air
temperature must stay below 30°C/86°F!
Make sure that the maximum permissible ambient
temperature is not exceeded, and that air can
circulate freely through the ventilation slots.
The HVPS must be placed in a level 19-inch rack or
other suitable cabinet that can support a minimum of
70 lbs. (32kg.). The module(s) must be secured in the
cabinet before electrical connections are made.
