Abstract

This chapter contains all available specifications of the RM4200D. In addition, you find also information about the CAN bus and the operation of the system within a computer network.

Environmental Conditions

  • Storage Temperature: -25 ... 85˚ Celsius

    [Warning] Warning

    Make sure the RM4200D has the operating temperature before switching it on. Also, the relative humidity must not be exceeded. Above all, no humidity must condense on or in the device!

  • Operating temperature: 5 ... 35˚ Celsius (depending on mounting conditions)

  • Relative air humidity: 20 ... 85%, not condensing

  • Ventilation: The RM4200D is passively cooled by convection. Air flows through the bottom and top of the rack unit (DSP frame).

    [Warning] Warning

    In a 19"-rack, you need to leave at least one height unit (NU) above and below the DSP frame empty , to allow the air flow to cool the device. If there are more devices mounted in the rack that emit heat and/or the DSP frame is equipped with many cards, you may need to leave more space for ventilation. Do not cover the perforated metal plates in bottom and top of the case. Also avoid to operate devices loosing a lot of heat directly next to the DSP frame.
