2.1.4 Rack Cabinet Installation
Install the Transmitter by first installing the rack cabinet in its intended location. It may be necessary first to
remove modules from the rack cabinet in order to reduce cabinet weight or to fasten the cabinet to the floor.
2.1.4.1 Module Removal
a) Remove the modules starting with the top module and proceed towards the bottom module. Work
only with one module at a time - keep all other modules secured in the rack cabinet while removing
a module.
b) To remove a module, start by removing the retaining screws that secure the module front panel to
the rack cabinet. After removing all the screws, slowly pull out the module until the rack slides are
fully extended and locked in this position.
c) Disconnect all the cables (coaxial and control cables and ground wires) from the rear panel of the
module (see para. 2.1.4.3)
d) Disengage the locking mechanism on both of the slides by pushing in the “locks”. Then pull the
module slowly out and away from the slides.
e) When removing a PA module (weight = 74 lbs./34 kg) or a Power Supply module (weight = 65
lbs./30 kg), two man lift is recommended to facilitate handling.
f) When removing the Power Supply module, observe the following:
WARNING:
The rack cabinet must be stable while removing modules. Failure to secure the rack cabinet to
prevent it from tipping over may cause serious injuries or death
DANGER:
Before removing AC connections from
the Power Supply terminal block, make
sure that the
AC LINE voltage has been removed
