SECTION 2

INSTALLATION

INTRODUCTION

2-2. This section contains instructions for installing the receiver and for making all

necessary cable interconnections before putting the system into use. Details on

storage and reshipment are also included.

2-3. UNPACKING

AND INSPECTION

2-4. The receiver is shipped from the factory in a fully assembled condition within

its environmental protective case for shipment. It is enclosed in a moisture-resistant

barrier material with desiccant and humidity indicator packed in a wooden box. The

gross weight of the receiver in its shipping container is 371 pounds. When removed

from the shipping container, the receiver weighs 260 pounds and should be trans-

ported by forklift to its operating site.

NOTE

The receiver case is marked to indicate position for the lifting forks.

The shipping container should be inspected for external damage, and if damage is

evident, the carrier should be notified.

2-5. To unpack the RCS-4B, remove the top of the shipping container. Care should

be exercised in removing nails and wood panels since the container is reusable. Roll

the shipping container over so the top is on the bottom. Lift the container straight

up off the RCS-4B. The receiver (now upside down) should be rolled upright.

Check all items against the packing list. The shipping container and associated pack-

ing material should be retained for possible use in reshipment or storage of the

receiver.

INSTALLATION

REQUIREMENTS

2-7. GENERAL. The receiver operates satisfactorily within temperature limits of

O to +50C and up to 85% non-condensing relative humidity. For long term operational

stability, the equipment should not be exposed to excessive shocks (exceeding 15 g's),

high dust levels or extreme fluctuations in temperature. The receiver has internal-

mounted cooling fans with intake air filters on the front of the 4028 unit and on the

rear of the 6025 unit. Adequate clearance must be allowed for the free flow of air.

2-8. RACK MOUNTING. All units have front panels designed for standard 19-inch

rack mounting. If rack mounted, the units should be adequately supported by either

rack slides or weight supporting brackets mounted between the rack and the rear

of the units. Refer to figure 2-1 for suggested mounting details.

2-9. BENCH MOUNTING. For bench mounting, the units may be mounted one above

the other, or side by side, within the limits of the cable lengths supplied. When

mounted one above the other, the two units require a suitable packing shim (approxi-

mately 1/2 inch thick) to maintain proper alignment of the front panels.
