For a location near you, visit them online: www. mcmastercarr. com Safe Suspension The Crown VRack is equipped with integral suspension hardware and should only be suspended using the supplied equipment. The system is designed to facilitate the suspension of the VRacks by a qualified person familiar with suspension hardware and industry practices. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death. Working Load Limit The working load limit (WLL) for any group of VRack products is noted on the appropriate VRack Array Frame. page 8 Operation Manual Setup VRack Power Distribution Overview The VRack Power Distribution panel offers worldwide use capabilities as well as multiple AC operations when used with 120VAC input. This power distribution system allows 120VAC input to 120VAC output, 120VAC input to 208VAC output, 220VAC ­ 240VAC input to 220VAC ­ 240VAC output. It also features a 32A per circuit, 3-pole, single-throw breaker as well as an LCD readout that indicates AC Voltage. Also, built-in +5V and +12V outputs power the VRack's built-in network switch and rear rack lighting features. Combine this worldwide capable power distro with the I-Tech HD's Universal, Power-Factor-Corrected Power Supply and the VRack can be used anywhere in the world without the need to re-configure anything in the rack. Hubbell L21-30 U. S. Operation Hubbell L21-30 12 120VAC Operation Switch position "Input Twistlock, Output US/120" provides the user with 120V operation to the I-Tech HD amplifiers in the rack. From an external power distribution system, send 3 phase 120VAC power to the X, Y, and Z pin of the Hubbell connector and the VRack will operate in 120V mode. Each I-Tech HD amplifier will see a dedicated X, Y, or Z phase to the line input, neutral, and Ground connection. Amp 1 = X, Neutral, and GND Amp 2 = Y, Neutral, and GND Amp 3 = Z, Neutral, and GND Hubbell L21-30 208VAC Operation Switch Position "Input Twistlock, Output US/208" provides the user with 208VAC operation to the I-Tech HD amplifiers in the rack. [. . . ] The idea behind VDrive is to connect your VRacks in a ring topology, feed AES3 into the first rack and select the switch of which AES3 stream (1/2 or 3/4) to send via the CAT5 connection to the next VRacks in the network ring. On the VRACKs after the first rack, select via the VDrive switch which AES stream to pick off and send to that rack (SEE DIAGRAM BELOW).
