2.3
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RX1524 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility.
It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in)
rack, 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or directly on a panel.
NOTICE
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware
installed, refer to
"Dimension Drawings (Page 32)"
2.3.1
Mounting the Device to a Rack
For rack mount installations, the RUGGEDCOM RX1524 can be equipped with rack
mount adapters pre-installed at the front or rear of the chassis. Additional adapters
are provided for added stability.
NOTICE
Vibration hazard – risk of damage to the device.
Always use four rack mount adapters (two at the front of the device and two at the
rear) when installing the device in high-vibration or seismically active locations.
NOTICE
Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device.
Before installing the device in a rack, make sure of the following:
• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware that
the operating ambient temperature of the rack may be higher than the
ambient temperature of the room. Make sure the rack is installed in a suitable
environment that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature generated
by the rack.
