INSTALLATION

3.1

General

Amplifier models that are very heavy have a caution label on the top cover.
Appropriate lifting practices should be observed during transportation, installation, or
removal of the amplifier from its mounting position. When mounted in a rack, the
amplifier must not be supported by the front panel fixing holes alone. For easier
installation and removal, we recommend that the amplifier is positioned with its top no
more than 1.4 metres above ground level.
CAUTION!
Do not support the whole weight of the amplifier with the front panel handles
(See Section 12)
These should only be used for sliding the amplifier in and out on the rack.
Note: The amplifier may be lifted using the rear protection handles.
(See Section 12).
The amplifier is designed to be mounted in a 19" fixed rack installation. When mounted
in a rack, use a support tray-slider-assembly, especially for heavy amplifier models.
See the section 12 of this manual for details of amplifier dimensions.
CAUTION!
Do not obstruct the airflow through the amplifier.
At least 200mm clearance should be allowed behind the amplifier, so that air flow and
connecting cables are not obstructed. An unobstructed area of at least 200mm should
be allowed in front of the amplifier front panel air-intakes.
CAUTION!
Even though the ambient air temperature may be within the amplifier's
specification, the internal temperature may rise above operational limits if it
is operated in direct sunlight.
The cooling airflow is drawn in through the front and exhausted at the rear. If this
airflow is obstructed, overheating of the amplifier may occur. For correct amplifier
operation, airflow through the unit must be maintained.
