LOCATION, MOUNTING, AND VENTILATION
Electronic load is designed for rack-mounted or bench top applications.
RACK MOUNTING INTALLATION:
1- Use the integral rack-mount ears at both sides of the front panel to install the electronic load in a rack mount
application.
2- Provide adequate support for the rear of the instrument without obstructing the ventilation inlets on the sides
and rear of the unit. Use a support bar at the bottom or rear of the unit. Follow the rack-mount
manufacturer’s instructions to install the support bar.
VENTILATION:
Whether you place the electronic load in a rack or on a bench, allow cooling air to reach the ventilation inlets on the
sides of the instrument and allow 4 in. (101.6mm) of unrestricted air space at the rear of the unit for the fan exhaust.
Any ventilation space at the top and bottom of the supply will further lower internal operating temperatures.
