4. INSTALLATION
Requirements for installation
General placement requirements
- Ambient temperature: 0 ℃ ~ 60 ℃ (32 ℉ ~ 140 ℉)
- Relative humidity: Up to 85% RH
- There must be a minimum of 5 cm free space on the top, bottom, front and rear of RE40K to
ensure adequate ventilation.
- No excessive dust
Placement requirements for installation in a 19” equipment rack
- Never stack other units directly on top when mounting RE40K in an equipment rack; the
mounting brackets are not designed to support more than 1 unit.
- RE40K must be grounded to the same ground as the equipment rack.
- The equipment rack must be braced and bolted to the floor.
Requirements for power connection
- The correct AC power for your country is used.
- RE40K is intended for indoor use only.
- To prevent the risk of electrical shock when in contact with the unit casing, only
earthed/grounded power cords should be used to power RE40K.
- Protection against over-currents, short circuits and earth faults should be provided in the
building installation.
- If a foreign object is accidently dropped into the video encoder rack, always disconnect
power before attempting to remove the object.
- To turn off power to RE40K, both power supplies must be turned off.
Requirements before inserting encoder blades
- Input termination should be disabled by setting the corresponding hardware switch off to
connect a video encoder in parallel with other equipment. Failure to do so may affect the
image quality negatively. Please refer to each blade model’s installation guide for the detail.
- Front cover plates should be used on all empty slots.
- Please refer to the installation guide of each encoder blade for detailed hardware
information.
