INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The IndustryAmp is designed to be mounted in a standard
19" equipment rack. The front panel is fitted with
rackmount ears for this purpose. The IndustryAmp occupies
3U of vertical rack space.
Note that due to the weight of the amplifier (over
20 kg), the use of additional rear supports is
strongly recommended. The rear of the unit has additional
mounting points to facilitate this.
Ventilation
The IndustryAmp is forced-air cooled by two internal
temperature-controlled fans. This ventilation method
should ensure that amplifier remains within its operational
temperature range under most circumstances, but if it is
to be installed in a location of high ambient temperature,
and/or in a rack containing a significant quantity of other
heat-generating equipment (see below), consideration
should be given to climate-controlling the room in which
the equipment rack is situated.

AXYS
Do not install the IndustryAmp in a 19" rack
immediately above or below another item of
equipment generating a significant amount of heat (e.g.,
another power amplifier). Plain 1U blank panels should be
used as spacers. Note that slotted or perforated ventilation
panels should not be used, as these will reduce the effect
of forced-air cooling. Also, be aware of the rear-to-front
direction of airflow of the IndustryAmp; it is not good
practice to install equipment employing forced-air cooling
with different directions of airflow in the same enclosed
rack.
Airflow is via the grilles at the rear (intake) and
front (exhaust) of the amplifier. Ensure that both
sets of grilles are completely clear of any obstructions
within 100 mm (4") in order to maintain the necessary
airflow.
