UL requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements
pertain to the installation of the IR 102 Rx into or onto a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient — If the equipment is
installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider
installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specifi ed
by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced air fl ow — Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air fl ow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing
of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as
the use of power strips).
Rack mounting instructions
1. If rubber feet were previously installed on the bottom of
the remote receiver, remove them.
2. Mount the remote receiver on the rack shelf, using two
4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to
secure the remote receiver to the shelf.
3. Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.
4. Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf
with those of the rack.
5. Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine
screws. This shelf can be mounted in the front or in the rear
of the rack.
