Solution |
|
| Often enough the location of an
installation is not easy accessible |
Many MAP products are shipped flat and can be mounted
within minutes. Single parts can be transported more easily to areas of a
building which are difficult to access. With many MAP products, housing
and carrying system can be mounted separately from each other. This way,
the racks can be preinstalled at the workshop. Afterwards, the final setup
can be done quickly and easily on the location. |
  |
| Frequently, space is limited and free access to the back of
the equipment for installation is difficult or even impossible |
For installations where space is limited, there are racks
from MAP which slide out and rotate. This allows an easy access to the
back of the equipment during installation and service |
  |
| The multitude of signal and power connections can result in
a chaos of loose and tangled cables |
A cleverly devised cable management system keeps your
cables ordered and ensures a quick and safe installation. This becomes
especially important when equipment has to be added to a rack at a later
date or when servicing the rack |
 |
| Amplifiers and especially satellite receivers develop an
enormous heat which has a negative influence on the operation of the
equipment in the rack and can reduce its life span |
An elaborate thermal management concept from single
component coolers to high end temperature controlled enclosure cooling
solutions increases the life span and performance of the equipment in the
rack. Temperature is always kept at an ideal 29,5 °C. Research has shown
that a temperature increase of only 5% will reduce the life span of a
device by 40% |
 |
Often consumer equipment which is not fit
for 19” mounting has to be integrated into a rack. This causes
difficulties regarding proper thermal management and equipment which is
put loosely on shelves will give the rack an unprofessional
look |
For consumer devices, MAP offers shelves
with customized face plates which are laser cut to fit perfectly around
any device. The MAP database stores the dimensions of 10000 devices and is
growing with every day. The customized faceplates contribute to a
professional look of the rack and support a perfect thermal management |
 |
| Working with cage nuts when installing the
equipment can be a pain for the technician. Having to recognize towards
the end of an installation that the installed equipment is offset for one
cage hole is even more annoying |
MAP racks have threaded rack rails instead
of cage nuts. In combination with the pilot head screws, installation
becomes fast and simple offering enormous time saving potential. The rack
units are numbered and marked on the rack rails, saving even more
installation time and avoiding an offset installation of devices |
