The primary building block to a Series 5000 system is the rack frame. The RFR 5014 is a 2RU rack mount chassis which can accommodate up to 10 low power Series 5000 card modules, plus a rack controller with primary and redundant power supplies. Each module has its own associated rear connection panel so a mixture of low power modules can be accommodated.

The RFR 5014 has no forced cooling (fans). It is only recommended for low power modules like distribution amplifiers.

The RFR 5014 front cover is hinged for easy access and can be easily removed for system installation and maintenance.

All plug-in modules, plus the primary and redundant power supply are hot swappable. They can easily be accessed from the front of the rack. Module alarm LED’s are visible with the front panel closed.

The rack is pre-wired for the optional Lynx APPolo Control system, and includes the termination panel. Field upgrades to add the control system are fast and simple, its just a case of plugging in the rack controller and making the connections to the termination panel. The termination panel also includes several GPO alarm outputs.

The construction is extremely robust, suitable for studio installations and the most demanding mobile applications. The frame is constructed from non magnetic stainless steel and is fully compliant with EMC / FCC RFI interference emission regulations.
