Note: Do not remove the door of the Controller during the
installation.
!
To avoid overheating, mount the Controller vertically.
!
Install with the power OFF.
The Controller power must remain disconnected during the
installation of the system and when adding a Line Cartridge or a
Software Cartridge to the controller.
To mount the Controller, follow these steps:
1. Position the mounting bracket.
Hint: Use a level and draw a pencil line to align the mounting
bracket of the Line Modules and Base Station Modules with the
Controller's mounting bracket.
Allow for the following clearance around the mounting bracket:
Top: Leave about 15 cm of space above the screw holes of the
mounting bracket. This clearance gives you enough room to lift
the Controller on and off the bracket, and provides space for
venting the heat from the Controller.
Bottom: Leave at least 15 cm of space between the bottom of
the cable trough and the floor, or any object that may block the
flow of air from the bottom. This prevents the Controller from
overheating.
Left and right: Leave enough room to open the door of the
Controller and to run cabling out to the side.
Note: The space between two modules hung on the mounting
brackets is approximately 3 mm.
2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the wall using four 19-mm
screws as shown in the following illustration.
3. Slide the Controller down onto its mounting bracket.
