The UX48 Series Processor must only be operated when mounted in a standard 19”rack enclosure.

UX48 Owners Manual

Where the processor is used in a xed installation, as long as the bottom unit is supported and there are no gaps
between units, it is acceptable to use only the front panel 19”rack mounting points when tting it in a standard
rack enclosure. If the processor is mounted in a mobile rack it is important that either the rear is supported
or that it is positioned directly between other supported units. Damage caused by insucient support is not
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
To prevent damage to the front panel it is recommended that plastic cups or washers are tted underneath the
rack mounting bolt heads.
IMPORTANT
General
The UX48 should never be exposed to rain or moisture during operation or storage. If the unit does come into
contact with moisture, remove the AC power cord immediately and leave it in a dry and warm location.
Note that when any equipment is taken from a cold location into a warm humid one, condensation may occur
inside the device. Always allow time for the equipment to attain the same temperature as its surrounding
environment before connecting the AC power cord.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that dirt, liquids and vapour from theatrical smoke and fog machines
is not ingested by the unit. Damage so caused is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Cooling
It is important that the air intake on the left side of the chassis and the exhaust vents on the right side are not
obstructed. Steps must also be taken to ensure that hot air does not continually circulate through the rack.
It is possible to mount multiple UX48 processors without ventilation gaps between them but it is essential that
an unobstructed ow of clean air is available from the left side of the chassis to the right-front of the unit to
the rear.
AC Power Connection
The UX48 Series Processors are designed to operate from an 85V to 254V 50/60Hz mains supply and utilise
a standard C14 IEC mains power connector. Use only a C14 IEC power cord correctly terminated with a plug
suitable for the territory where the product will be used. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that all wiring
is performed by a qualied person in accordance with all local regulations.
