Installation
The P3-100 System Controller is designed to be rack-mounted in a central control room for fixed installations
or flight-cased for touring applications. The 2U enclosure and 19” rack mounting complies with IEC 60297.
The unit has been qualified to operate in a dry environment within a temperature range of 0° C to 50° C
(32° F to 122° F). Do not allow it to become wet. Do not use it if the ambient temperature is outside the
specified range.
Particular attention must be paid to cooling; under no circumstances should the airflow to the heat sinks be
restricted and a rack fan cooling unit should be considered when multiple units are stacked together to
maintain the correct ambient temperature.
Before applying power to the P3-100:
• Carefully review “Safety Information” on page 3.
• Check that the local AC power voltage is within the ranges listed on the serial number label and in
“Connecting to power” below.
