3.7
This section provides guidance on locating and installing an equipment rack to house the
LD6 including ventilation, securing the unit and instilling measures to limit vibration. It
also details what may optionally be pre-installed in the rack.
Rack specification will vary for each installation to suit the application.
The 'Scope of Supply' and 'Equipment Packing List' documentation will detail what is
provided. Use in conjunction with guidance in this section.
3.7.1
LD6 units may be supplied pre-installed in small (usually 6U) racks.
The rack is secured on an aluminium base plate using high quality anti-vibration mounts.
The user must securely anchor the base plate to the deck using the fixing slots provided.
Typically shipment will include coaxial tails for attaching the GNSS and L-band inputs to
the rear of the LD6.
The location of the rack must be selected using the same criteria as previously described
for the LD6, with particular consideration for ventilation and access.
Before securing the rack base plate check that the LD6 rear connectors and switches
are easily accessible in the chosen location.
Ventilation slots and apertures must not be obscured.
Earth connection on the rear of the LD6 must be connected to ship's ground. The rack
frame and base plate should be individually grounded.
Power supply for the units should be taken from a clean-power source as detailed in the
'Scope of Supply' or 'Equipment Packing List' documentation. Typically this is derived
from an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system.
To prevent problems such as overheating or interference, no additional
equipment should be mounted in this rack without first consulting VERIPOS.
