2.1 Equipment Mounting
This section describes the physical mounting requirements for the RC3050 and optional sensor units.
Wiring requirements are discussed in section 2.2.
2.1.1 RC3050 Antenna Controller
NOTE: The RC3050 unit should not be installed in the rack until the final step of the Initial
Configuration (section 2.3) because access to the interior of the unit may be necessary prior to
that procedure. The cables may be run through the chosen location in the rack and connected to
their respective components.
The RC3050 enclosure is a standard rack mount chassis that occupies two rack units (2U). The front
panel is mounted via four (4) 10-32 screws. Due to the length and weight of the RC3050, much strain
can be put on the faceplate particularly in a mobile unit. To help alleviate stress on the front panel
mounting, additional mounting points accepting 10-32 screws are provided on each side, back and
bottom of the unit. The user may use any of these additional mounting points to provide support for the
RC3050 via strapping, shelving, etc. The additional mounting screws on the back of the unit may be
also used to provide strain relief for cabling.
CAUTION: support of the back of the RC3050 is a requirement. RCI's warranty does not cover
repair to units with ripped faceplates.
The RC3000's LCD is optimized for viewing from a 6 o'clock position. The optimum position to mount
the unit would therefore be above the operator's eye level.
