Typical PCS150R Rack Installation
1. Carefully slide the chassis into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
2. Use all four mounting screws to secure the chassis to the rack.
Rack-mount Considerations
A. Elevated Operating Ambient
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer (see Specifications information
in this document).
B. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should
be such that the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised. To ventilate the system nor-
mally and avoid overheating, leave at least 1
inch (2.5 cm) on each side (including top and
bottom) of the PCS150R. Do NOT stack other
equipment on the top of the PCS150R unit.

C. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the con-
nection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring.
D. Reliable Earthing
Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips).
E. Mains Outlet Earthing
The apparatus with Class I construction must
be connected to a mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection.
