Inspection

All Argus products are shipped in rugged, double walled boxes and suspended via solid polyure-
thane foam inserts to minimize shock that may occur during transportion. Packaging assemblies
and methods are tested to National Safe Transit Association standards.
Prior to uncrating of the unit, note any damage to the shipping container. Uncrate the unit and in-
spect the exterior. If any damage is observed, contact the carrier immediately.
Continue the inspection for any internal damage. In the unlikely event of internal damage please in-
form the carrier and contact Argus Technologies for advice on the impact of any damage.

Preparation/Mounting

The unit must be mounted in a clean and dry environment. Sufficient access to an uninterrupted air
source must also be allowed for in front of the unit. Allow at least 1.75 inches of free space above
the unit for cooling.
The unit should be mounted to the rack using two #12 -24 x 1/2" screws in each bracket. A captive
type of drive such as a Philips head is preferred to eliminate the possibility of slippage and scratch-
ing of the unit's exterior.
The unit has been designed for mounting in a 19" or 23" EIA standard relay rack. Mounting brack-
ets on this shelf are for 1-3/4" spacing and are reversible for 19" or 23" mounting configurations.
These brackets are shipped from the factory arranged for 19" centre mounting with a 5" offset. To
adapt to 23" mounting, remove the two attaching screws, then flip the brackets so that the large
flange is against the shelf chassis, re-attach with mounting screws. For flush mounting attach the
brackets to the cabinet via the mounting holes located near the front of the cabinet. See the outline
drawing in the back of this manual for details.
