4 Installation
4.1 Preparations
The VIP X1600 XF 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 XF 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 XF 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 XF is switched on without a functional module in
Slot 1.
