page 23.
6. If installing multiple wireless controllers, repeat steps 1 to 4 to mount the units
following your rack plan.
Unit Cooling Requirements
Wherever the wireless controller is located, be sure to pay close attention to
cooling requirements. The location should be well ventilated and provide
unrestricted air flow at the front, back, and sides of the wireless controller. If the air
flow is insufficient, it may cause the wireless controller to overheat and possibly fail.
Rack Cooling When mounting the wireless controller in an enclosed rack or cabinet, be sure to
check the following guidelines to prevent overheating:
◆ Make sure that enough cool air can flow into the enclosure for the equipment it
contains.
◆ Check that the rack or cabinet allows the hot air to exit the enclosure (normally
from the top) without circulating back into equipment.
◆ If the enclosure has sides or doors with ventilation holes, make sure they are
not blocked by cables or other obstructions.
◆ Route cables within the rack or cabinet to maximize the air flow.
◆ When possible, do not completely fill the rack or cabinet with equipment, allow
some unused space within the enclosure for better air flow.
