Unpacking Tips
q
Before fully unpacking the enclosure(s), examine the shipping
box(es) for any signs of damage. If a box is partially crushed or any
sides have been broken open, notify the shipping agency
immediately and contact your AutoPatch Salesperson or
Representative.
q
Once unpacking is complete, closely check the physical condition of
the enclosure(s).
q
Collect all documentation and envelopes.
Note: AutoPatch is not responsible for damage caused by insufficient
packing during return shipment to the factory. Upon request, AutoPatch
will supply new shipping boxes at cost.
1.1 Front of the Enclosure
Enclosures are the structural basis of a Modula Distribution Matrix.
Since AutoPatch matrix switchers are custom-built for each installation,
factors such as control method, signal type, and potential switches affect
the appearance and weight of each enclosure.
An enclosure can have either a blank front panel or various local control
panels (front panels produced by AutoPatch for controlling the system’s
inputs and outputs). Although a local control panel is optional, we
recommend one on at least one enclosure in the system for system
verification, redundant control, and troubleshooting. Local control panels
can be attached as needed and then removed.
