Rack Mount Safety Instructions

Temperature

If Vision800 systems are to be installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the installation should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. The op-
erating ambient temperature of the rack environment should be maintained below 35 degrees centigrade
under all conditions. Appropriate cooling arrangements should be built into the cabinet to ensure that this
specification is maintained.

Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the mains supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the supply might have on any overcurrent protection or supply wiring. Appropri-
ate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing

Reliable earthing of all rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).”
