5. Installation
Note: It is important in all installations that the amplier mains

Contact your amplier re-seller for more information.
5.1 PowerZone 252 Mounting
The PowerZone 252 amplier is shipped without rack mount
hardware attached but can be congured for rack installation
using one standard rack ‘ear’ and one half-rack extension piece
as illustrated in Diagram 3a. The installation and equipment
rack should be congured to provide appropriate ventilation
airow space around the sides and rear of the amplier as
illustrated in as illustrated in Diagram 1a. Ventilation airow
space of at least 25 mm (1 in) should be maintained along at
least one side of the amplier at all times. Ventilation apertures
are also located on the rear panel of the amplier and must
not be obstructed. It is important to retain at least 80 mm (3.1
in) free space for airow behind the amplier rear panel.
In addition to rack mount ears, optional rack mount rear
support hardware is available and can be attached to the
amplier. Rear support hardware may be appropriate if
the amplier is to be used in a mobile rack or potentially be
subject to signicant movement. Diagram 3b illustrates the
use of rack mount rear support hardware.
Multiple PowerZone 252 ampliers can also be mechanically
connected using accessory connecting plates. Diagram 3c
illustrates the use of connecting plates.
