Installing in a Rack or Panel Mount
Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 55
4.10 Installing in a Rack or Panel Mount
The controller can be mounted in a rack or panel by using the mounting brackets that are
shipped in the accessories kit. The brackets can be attached at the rear of the controller for
panel mounting or they can be attached to the front of the controller for rack mounting.
NOTE:
To maintain compliance with EN 60204, the mounting of the
controller and all terminations at the controller must be performed in
accordance with this standard.
Space Around the Chassis
When the controller is installed, you must allow 50 mm (2 inches) at the front of the
chassis and 25 mm (1 inch) at the top of the chassis for proper air cooling. The chassis
should be mounted in a vertical position for proper cooling flow.
CAUTION:
The air filter must be kept clean so the forced air cooling
system can work efficiently. See Chapter 14 for details on cleaning the
filter.
Most service operations (filters and fuses) require access to the front of the controller.
However, to replace fuses F1, F2, and F5, qualified personnel will need to remove the
controller top cover. The controller may need to be removed from its mounting for this
procedure. Alternatively, you may choose to leave sufficient space above the controller, or
to install it on slide mounts.
Panel Mounting
To panel mount either the Adept MV-8 or MV-19 controller, install one bracket on each
side near the back of the controller. Use the screws and washers from the accessories kit.
See Figure 4-6.
Rack Mounting
To rack mount the Adept MV-19 controller in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, you
must use the mounting brackets, screws, and washers from the accessories kit. The
brackets can be installed in two positions for rack mounting: flush and set-back. See
Figure 4-6 for details.
To rack mount the Adept MV-8 controller in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, you must
first install the mounting brackets, then build an extender panel and attach it to the
bracket on one side of the controller.
The Adept MV-8 controller can be joined to an Adept PA-4 power chassis and mounted in
a rack. Refer to the documentation that comes with the PA-4 for information.
