Physical Characteristics

340.0mm / 13.4"
Case dimensions are illustrated in the diagram above.
Red range units require 1U of vertical rack space. Allow an additional 75mm of rack depth behind
each unit to allow for cables. For installations in a fixed environment (eg., a studio), the front-panel
rack mountings will provide adequate support. However, if the units are to be used in a mobile
situation (eg., flight-cased for touring, etc.), it is recommended that side support rails or shelves are
used within the rack. The weight of each unit is shown in the table below.
Cooling is by fan assistance from side to side; the fans used are low-speed and low-noise. Do not
mount the unit immediately above any other equipment which generates significant heat, for example,
a power amplifier. Also, ensure that when mounted in a rack the side vents are not obstructed.
Note. The maximum operating environmental temperature is 40°C / 104°F.

Power Requirements

Red range units are mains powered and incorporate a 'Universal' power supply which can operate on
any AC mains voltage from 100 V to 240 V. The AC connection is via a standard 3-pin IEC connector on
the rear panel. Power consumption for each unit is listed in the table below.
A mating IEC cable is supplied with each unit – this should be terminated with a mains plug of the
correct type for your country.
Please note that there are no fuses or other user-replaceable components of any type in any unit.
Please refer all servicing issues to the Customer Support Team (see "Customer Support and Unit Servicing"
on page 42).
