  • Page 16: Rack Mounting

    Defeating the ground may result in operator Injury or damage to the system. Rack Mounting The RCS11 is designed so that it can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The RCS11 is 1-3/4 inches (1U) high. To allow for the easy installation of cables and adequate air circulation through the units, a minimum of six inches of clearance must be provided at the sides and rear of the units.

    5.2.2 Backup If an online MOD fault is sensed, and the off-line MOD is not also faulted, the RCS11 will switch to the MOD without the fault. The Fault Signal has a small debounce delay to prevent false triggering. If the faulted MOD has its fault cleared, it stays off-line unless the other MOD has subsequently faulted.

    RCS11 1:1 Redundancy Switch 5.2.2 Fail-safe If the RCS11 has a non-recoverable internal fault, the MOD and DEMOD both revert back to Modem A, the Switch Fault LED is illuminated, and the Switch Fault Relay switches to a faulted state.
