Installing transmitters in a rack
| NOTICE | |
|---|---|
Rack mounting poses risks!
When installing the device in a closed 19" rack or multi-rack assembly, please consider that, during operation, the ambient temperature, the mechanical load and the electrical potentials will be different from those of devices which are not mounted into a rack.
Make sure that the ambient temperature within the rack does not exceed the permissible temperature limit stated in the specifications. See XSW IEM SR.
Ensure sufficient ventilation; if necessary, provide additional ventilation.
Make sure that the mechanical load of the rack is even.
When connecting to the power supply system, observe the information indicated on the type plate. Avoid overloading the circuits. If necessary, provide overcurrent protection.
When mounting in a rack, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the individual power supply units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the permissible limit value. As a remedy, ground the rack via an additional ground connection.

Mounting a single transmitter in a rack
To mount the transmitter in a rack, you will need the GA 1- XSW 2 rack mount kit (see Accessories for rack mounting).
- Unscrew and remove the two recessed head screws (M4x8) on each side of the transmitter.
- Secure the left and right mounting brackets to the sides of the transmitter using the previously removed recessed head screws.
- Secure the blanking plate to one of the two mounting brackets using two recessed head screws (M6x10).
-
Connect the rod antenna to the ANTENNA socket on the rear side of the XSW IEM SR. In this case, cover the antenna holes with the covers.
ORFor more information on mounting antennas on the rear of the device, see Connecting rod antennas.
- Attach the antenna front mount kit and mount the rod antenna on the blanking plate.
- Slide the transmitter with the mounted blanking plate into the 19" rack.
- Secure the mounting bracket and the blanking plate to the 19" rack.
- Align the mounted antennas in a V-shape.
Mounting two receivers side by side in a rack
- Place both transmitters upside down and side by side on an even surface.
- Secure the jointing plate to the transmitters using the six recessed head screws (M3x6).
- Secure the mounting bracket to the 19" rack.
