  • Page 15: Chapter 2: Installing The Encoder

    Preparing the Encoder You need a Phillips-head screwdriver to mount the encoder in a standard 19-inch rack. Harmonic ships the necessary rack-mount screws and rack rails with the optional rack- mounting kit. The encoder comes in a specially designed shipping container that ensures the integrity of your encoder hardware during shipping and handling.

    CAUTION: Rack mount the encoder using the screws that came with your Harmonic rail kit. If you did not purchase a Harmonic rail kit, use a rack-mount screw with a head no larger than 0.4 inches in diameter and 0.14 inches in height to avoid damaging the front panel of the encoder. (Some encoders may come with a peel-away sticker that advises on the correct screw size.) Using only the bottom two...
