Be sure to use the power cord that is applicable to places
in the area.
To avoid a fire or an electric shock, be sure to use the
designated power cord.
.Do not damage the power cord a otherwise fire or
electric shock may result.
For customers in the U.S.A. and Canada

1-1. Operating Environment
Operating guaranteed temperature : +5 dC to +40 dC
Performance guaranteed temperature : +10 dC to +35 dC
Operating humidity : 10 % to 90 %
Storage temperature : _20 dC to +60 dC
Mass : Approx. 18 kg
(with all options
installed)
Prohibited locations for installation
.Areas where the unit will be exposed do direct sunlight
or any other strong lights.
.Dusty areas
.Areas is subject to vibration.
.Areas with strong electric or magnetic fields.
.Areas near heat sources.
.Areas subject to electrical noise.
.Areas subject to static electricity.
Ventilation
The inside of the DCU-8000 is cooled by a fan (both sides
on the rear).
The power supply can be damaged if the exhaust vent
(both sides on the rear) and air intake (front panel) are
blocked or the fan is stopped.
Therefore, leave a blank space of more than 10 cm in the
front and back of the DCU-8000.
1-2. Power Supply
1-2-1. Power Specifications
A switching regulator is used for the power supply of this
unit. A voltage within the range of 100 V to 240 V can be
used without changing the supply voltage.
Power requirements : AC 100 to 240 V ±10 %
Power frequency : 50/60 Hz
Current consumption : Maximum 1.4 A
n
As the inrush current at turn-on is a maximum 20 A (at 100
V)/60 A (at 230 V), the capacity of the AC power must be
commensurate with this source load.
If the capacity of the AC power is not adequately large, the
AC power source breaker will operate or the unit will
abnormally operate.

1-5. Rack Mounting
The DCU-8000 installs in a 19-inch standard rack.
To mount the DCU-8000 in a rack, use the specified rack
mount kit and follow the procedure described below.
Specified rack mount kit : RMM-10
n
If a rack mount kit other than the specified one is used, the
unit may not correctly install in 19-inch standard rack.
Parts of the RMM-10
.Rack tools 2 pcs
.Right rack mount adaptor 1 pc
.Left rack mount adaptor 1 pc
.Rack tool attaching screws 6 pcs
(B4 x6 : 7-682-560-09)
.Rack tool attaching screws 6 pcs
(B4 x10 : 7-682-560-10)
1. Precautions for rack mounting
w
.To prevent the rack from falling or moving, fix the rack
on a flat and steady floor using bolts or others fixings.
If the rack falls due to the weight of the equipment, it
may cause death or injury.
.Be sure to use the specified rack mount kit.
If not, injury may result and the equipment may fall due
to insufficient strength.
.After rack mounting, be sure to tighten the screws on the
rack angle and fix the unit in the rack.
If the screws on the rack angle are not tightened, the unit
may slip from the rack and fall, causing injury.
c
When mounting the unit in the rack, note the following:
.Be sure to mount in the rack with two persons or more.
.Be careful not to catch your fingers or hands in the rack
mount rail or others.
.Mount in the rack in a stable position.
n
If several units are mounted in a rack, it is recommended
that a ventilation fan is installed to prevent temperature rise
inside the rack.
2. Rack mounting procedure
This section describes the rack mounting procedure using
the RMM-10 rack mount kit.
n
Tighten the screws to the following torque.
Tightening torque : 120 x10_2N.m {12.2 kgf.cm}
1. Attach the rack tool to the side of the equipment using
the specified six screws.
n
Use B4 x6 screws.
2. Loosen the screws on the rear of the right and left
adaptors and adjust the length of the adaptor according
to the depth of the rack.
(The illustration below shows the left adaptor.)
