7.1 Mounting Methods
BP85 models are available for mounting on a horizontal shelf or
vertical panel, or for installation into a standard 19 inch rack.
Your choice of a mounting method should provide access for observing
the front panel indicators. You should also provide access to the unit’s
rear panel for setting the switches, connecting the cables, and
servicing.
7.1.1 Horizontal or Vertical Mounting
Models for horizontal or vertical mounting are fitted with pads on their
bottom surface, and are supplied with mounting brackets. The
brackets can be used to secure the unit to the horizontal shelf or
vertical panel.
No additional hardware is needed for attaching the brackets to the
BP85. You will have to furnish hardware for bolting the brackets to
your panel or shelf. Four bolts are required. Typically, standard 1/420
(10 mm) bolts or equivalent will be satisfactory.
7.1.2 Rack Mounting
Rack-mount models are designed for installation into a standard
19-inch rack. You must furnish the hardware for bolting the unit to
your rack. Four bolts are required.
The BP85 unit can support itself in the rack by its front mounting
bolts. It is light enough that you do not have to provide rear support
within the rack.
