Department for further information at 1-800-289-9266, x 450. System Power It is a good idea to use isolation transformers on the incoming AC power line to the 9457. An isolation transformer is especially desirable in cases in which heavy equipment is likely to intro- duce noise onto the AC line. -
Page 39: Excessive Heat
The machine ground should be connected to the enclosure and to earth ground. Excessive Heat The 9457 is designed to withstand temperatures from 0º to 50º C (32º to 122º F) and is cooled by two fans which draw a vertical column of air upward over the surface of the components. -
Page 40: Installing The System Into A Panel
Metal enclosures also help minimize the effects of electromagnetic radia- tion that may be generated by nearby equipment. The 9457 is designed to be installed in one of two basic ways. The most common and most compact configuration entails mounting the computer module directly beneath the monitor module in a panel installation. - Page 41 16.47 (418.3) Figure Chapter 3 -11. 9457 Monitor Module Cutout Dimensions When panel mounting the 9457, if you intend to mount the computer module beneath the monitor module, you must allow at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) additional clearance be- neath the monitor module.
