Mechanical Installation
The iK42/iK81 Series Amplifier system is designed to be mounted in a standard 19" rack
enclosure.
Where the amplifier is used in a fixed installation, as long as the bottom unit is supported and
there are no gaps between units, it is acceptable to use only the front panel 19" rack holes when
fitting it in a standard rack enclosure. If the amplifier is mounted in a mobile rack it is important
that the rear is supported with a rear rack mounting kit (part number IKRACK). Damage caused
by insufficient support is not covered by the warranty.
To prevent damage to the front panel it is recommended that plastic cups or washers are fitted
underneath the rack mounting bolt heads.
It is possible to mount multiple iK42/iK81 Series amplifiers without ventilation gaps between
them but it is essential that an unobstructed flow of clean air is available from the front of the
unit to the rear. It is important that neither the air intakes on the front of the unit or the exhaust
vents at the rear are covered. Steps must be taken to ensure that hot air does not continually
circulate through the amplifiers from the back of the rack to the front.
The amplifier should never be exposed to rain or moisture during operation or storage. If the unit
does come into contact with moisture, remove the AC power cable immediately and leave it in a
dry and warm location to dry out.
Note that when any equipment is taken from a cold location into a hot humid one, condensation
may occur inside the device. Always allow time for the equipment to attain the same temperature
as its surrounding environment before connecting the AC power cable.
Important: It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that dirt, liquids and vapour from theatrical
smoke and fog machines is not ingested by the amplifier. Damage so caused is not covered by
the manufacturer's warranty.
