Page 12: Installation
Installation Rear Panel Connectors Figure 2-1: ScreenSHAPER Rear Panel Rack-Mount Installation ScreenSHAPER units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-mount hardware. Rear rack- mount brackets are available as a kit and are recommended for use when units are mounted in transit cases. When rack mounting the unit, remember that the maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C. -
Page 13: Video In And Video Out Connectors
Video In and Video Out Connectors Two DVI-I female connectors are located on the rear panel of the ScreenSHAPER. One is used for VIDEO IN and one is used for VIDEO OUT. Adapters are supplied to connect HD-15 cables to the DVI-I connector for analog devices. -
Page 14: Power Cord/Line Voltage Selection
Power Cord/Line Voltage Selection The ScreenSHAPER is rated to operate with the following supplies: Input Power: 98-264VAC, 47-63 Hz Power Consumption: 45 watts maximum The ScreenSHAPER performs line voltage selection automatically. No user controls are required for line voltage selection. When the ScreenSHAPER is used with 230-volt supplies, a UL listed line cord rated for 250 volts at 15 amps must be used. - Page 15 Connect ScreenSHAPER to AC power using the power cord supplied with the unit. Locate the power switch on the power entry module at the rear of the unit and turn the power on. While the main board is initializing, “please wait” will be displayed and the front panel keys will be turned on and off.
