AMP2A-10S User Guide

Installation Recommendations

Mounting

The unit is designed to install into a standard 19" rack mounted at eye

level for best visual observation of the monitor screens.

Please refer to the system interconnect block diagram Figure 1–5 on

page 14 for clarification of the general signal paths into and out of the

AMP2A-10S unit.

Heat Dissipation

The ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure should not

exceed 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit). Adjacent devices can be rack

mounted (or stacked) in proximity to the unit if the above temperature

is not exceeded. Allow a 1RU (1.75”/44.45mm) space above and below

the unit for air circulation.

Mechanical Bracing

Even though the unit is fairly heavy, the chassis is securely attached to

the front panel at eight points along its surface, not just at the four

corners of the chassis ears. This feature will reduce or eliminate rear

bracing requirements in many mobile/portable applications. The

weight of internal components is distributed fairly evenly around the

unit.

Note:

Be sure to set the level meter input level gain calibration and

VU/PPM display mode DIP switch (accessed through the

top cover) before installing the unit into an enclosed rack or

console.

Important:

To reduce noise, the monitor does not have any fans. As a result, the

heat generated by the power amplifiers, power supplies, and other

components is vented by slots in the side of the unit. Therefore, as a

safety precaution, we advise you to be sure to allow proper ventilation

on both sides of the unit.
