For wall mounting, allow at least 2 inches clear space on the sides, above and below for adequate air flow.
Allow at least 6 inches from the control panel to the wall for cable clearance and access to switches.
The site should provide a stable environment. The operating area should be clean and free from extremes
of temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration.
Relative humidity should stay between 0 and 95%. Do not operate the unit at an altitude greater than
10,000 feet.
Note: Temperature should be kept below 40 C (104 F). A thermal protection device will interrupt
unit operation at temperatures over 40 C (approximate) until temperature is reduced.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The Access BankTM channel bank can be installed as a desk-top unit, wall mounted, or mounted in a 19
inch rack. The four wall-mount "L" brackets have been attached to both sets of screw holes in the sides
of the Access Bank for your convenience. The power converter cube can also be mounted to the wall in a
convenient location.
The Access Bank and AB-115 POWER should be mounted to the wall in accordance with appropriate
fasteners for mounting heavy objects. Masonry anchors, #8 or larger wood screws or expansion bolts
should be used as appropriate for the wall surface.
For mounting in a 19" rack, two brackets can be attached in the forward position for a standard five inch
offset mounting typical of telecommunications equipment. The factory installed brackets must be
removed from the Access bank, rotated 90 and re-attached to four holes on each side of the Access
BankTM channel bank with screws provided.
WARNING
The Access Bank is suited for horizontal mounting over a non-combustible surface only. If you must
install over a carpeted, wooden or otherwise combustible surface, place a metal plate that is at least 18 x
18 inches (45 cm) beneath the Access Bank.
