2.2.2 Environmental Requirements
Item
Requirement
Required Dimensions
When installing the device on an equipment rack, the distance
between 2 rows of equipment should be 1.2~1.5m while the distance
from walls should be no less than 0.8m.
Datacenter
Electrically Isolated & Dust Free environment required.
Resistivity of ground anti-static material: 1X107~1X1010Ω，Grounding
current limiting resistance: 1M (Floor bearing should be greater than
450Kg/㎡)
Environment
Temperature
5~40(Sustainable)，0~45(Short term)
Installing an air-conditioning system is strongly recommended.
Relative Temperature
20%~80% Sustainable - 10%~90% Short term.

2.2.3 Grounding Requirement
Good grounding practices will ensure the proper function and long-term reliability of
the device. This will provide protection from power surges and interference. It is
imperative the unit is used only when properly grounded.
Coaxial cable’s outer conductor and isolation layers should keep proper electric
conduction with the device's metal housing.
Grounding wires must contain copper conductors in order to reduce high frequency
impedance. The grounding wire must also be as thick and as short as possible.
Users should make sure the two terminations of their grounding cables are properly
secured. Current pass-through should be tested. Anti-rust should be applied on all
relevant connections.
Do not include any other devices in this unit's grounding circuit.
The minimum contact patch area between the grounding wire and the device’s frame
should be no less than 25mm2.
2.2.4 Frame Grounding
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The grounding
wire should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The minimum contact patch area
between the grounding wire and the device’s frame should be no less than 25mm^2.
2.2.5 Device Grounding
Connect the device’s grounding point to the rack's grounding pole with copper wire.
2.3!Wire’s!Connection!
The grounding wire conductive screw is located on the device’s rear panel adjacent to
the AC Plug connector.
Connecting Power Cord
User should insert one end into power supply socket and the other end into device’s
AC power source.
Connecting Grounding Wire

If possible, connect the device's grounding wire in an unshared circuit. If the
grounding circuit is to be shared with other devices, the grounding resistance should
be equal to or less than 1Ω.
Caution:
Before connecting a power cord to UC-350E+ Encoder, user should first ensure
the device power switch is set to “OFF”.
2.4!Signal!Cable!Connections!
The signal cable connections consist of input and output signal cables. Descriptions of
the possible connection types follow below:
2.4.1 XLR Interface Input Cable Connection
Users can find the XLR interface input connector on the device's rear panel. If in doubt,
