Ventilation
CAUTION
Temperatures inside a closed mounting
area can be significantly higher than the
ambient temperature. Always allow
adequate ventilation.
• If possible, install the MTX5000 IDU in a climate-
controlled area.
• Installation should allow adequate air flow around the
equipment. Air flow should be circulated and mixed with
room air, not trapped in a closed space.
• When mounting the MTX5000 IDU in an enclosed rack
with other equipment, it is good practice to allow spaces
at the top and bottom of the rack, and to fill those spaces
with grillwork instead of blank panels.
Moisture
WARNING
Indoor equipment is not designed to
withstand water or moisture. If water does
penetrate the chassis, it could cause
equipment damage and/or create a safety
hazard.
• Locate the equipment in an area protected from dripping
water or excessive humidity.
Cabling
In mobile installations, wiring is subject to extremes of
temperature, humidity, and vibration. MRC recommends the
following general practices be performed in all installations.
