Installing receivers in a rack

This chapter describes how to install a single receiver or two receivers side by side in a rack.

You can also set up the receiver without installing it in a fixed location. You can find more information about setting up the receiver under: Setting up the receiver.

NOTICE

Danger due to high temperature, mechanical loading or electric leakage currents

When rack mounted, a receiver can be damaged by excessive heat or mechanical stress.

Make sure that the temperature within the rack does not exceed the permissible temperature limit specified in the specifications.

Make sure that the receivers in the rack are not subject to mechanical stress.

Make sure that circuits are not overloaded by providing overcurrent protection if necessary.

Make sure that the sum of the leakage currents of all power supply units do not exceed the allowable limit values by grounding the rack via an additional ground connection, if necessary.

You need the GA 4 mounting kit to install the receiver in a rack, see GA 4 mounting kit.

Fastening the mounting angles (to install a receiver)

Unscrew and remove the two recessed head screws on each side of the receiver.
Secure the mounting angles to the sides of the receiver using the previously removed recessed head screws.
Make sure that the angled ends of the mounting angles point forward.

Installing the receiver in a rack

Use the two supplied recessed head screws to secure the blanking plate from the GA 4 mounting kit to the mounting angle of the receiver as shown.
Make sure to use the correct side (the one with the round holes) of the blanking plate to secure it to the mounting angle.
Only insert the two small covering caps into the antenna holes if you do not wish to install the rod antenna at the front of the rack.
Slide the receiver with the attached mounting accessories into a 19" rack.

Mounting the rod antenna to the front of the rack

Connect the included antenna cables to the antenna sockets at the rear of the receiver.
Pass the other ends of the antenna cables through the antenna holes in the blanking plate and screw them to the rod antenna as shown.

Mounting the jointing plate and fastening the mounting angles (to install two receivers side by side)

Unscrew and remove the two recessed head screws on the outward-facing sides of the receiver.
Secure the mounting angles to the outward-facing sides of the receiver using the previously removed recessed head screws.
Place the two receivers side by side upside-down onto a flat surface.
Secure the jointing plate to the receiver using the six recessed head screws as shown.

Connecting the AWM 2 / AWM 4 remote antenna to the receiver

Instead of the supplied rod antenna, you can also connect a remote antenna to the receiver. For more information, see AWM 2 / AWM 4 remote antennas.

Pay attention to the notes about antenna installation under Recommendations on antenna mounting.
