4 Installation
4.1 Preparations
The VIP X1600 B base is designed for installation in a switch cabinet. Mounting the unit in a
19-inch rack using the installation material supplied is a quick and easy operation.
It is also possible to operate this as a desktop unit. The four elastic bumpers included in the
scope of delivery ensure a non-slip support.
Please ensure the following installation conditions:
– Do not install the unit close to heaters or other heat sources. Avoid locations exposed to
direct sunlight.
– Allow sufficient space for running cables.
– Ensure that the unit has adequate ventilation. Bear the total heat output in mind,
particularly when installing multiple units in a switch cabinet.
– When making connections, use only the cables supplied or use appropriate cables
immune to electromagnetic interference.
– Position and run all cables so that they are protected from damage, and provide
adequate cable strain relief where needed.
– Avoid impacts, blows and severe vibrations, as these can irreparably damage the unit.
4.2 Installing Modules
Installation of the different modules in the VIP X1600 B base is described in the relevant Quick
Installation Guides and the Installation and Operating Manuals. It is also possible to install,
remove and exchange modules during operation.
!
CAUTION!
The unit is designed for indoor operation.
Select a suitable location for installation that guarantees to meet the environmental
conditions. The ambient temperature must be between 0 and +50 °C (+32 and +122 °F). The
relative humidity must not exceed 95% (non-condensing).
The VIP X1600 B generates heat during operation. During installation, please note the
maximum heat value of 170 BTU/h. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and enough
clearance between the unit and heat-sensitive objects or equipment.
!
CAUTION!
Ensure that Slot 1 is always populated by a module, even when modifying the installation.
Malfunctions may occur when the VIP X1600 B is switched on without a functional module in
Slot 1.
