An Introduction to An Introduction to the R3 19 inch Rackthe R3 19 inch Rack

The R3 control system comprises a number of

different plug in modules, each of which is dedicated

to a particular function within the complete control

panel.

Modules cover all requirements -

Fire detection

Alarm signalling

Gas detection

Extinguishing

Data transmission

Plant control

The modular approach means that the system is

inherently reliable, easy to install and commission and

easy to maintain, repair and fault find.

ConstructionConstruction

Modules are located within a 3U high sub

rack.

A legend plate may be located underneath

each sub rack.

Cabinet sizes are flexible within the

constraints of the 19 inch rack.

From 380mm high x 600mm wide x 369

deep for a single rack to 2000mm high x

800mm wide x 600mm deep for a system

containing 10 racks.

Planning the DesignPlanning the Design

Up to fourteen 19inch racks may be incorporated

into a system, subject to cabinet size limitations.

When planning the design of the R3, the following

should be considered -

• all racks, identification plates and special

switch plates need to fit

• all internally mounted equipment, terminals,

power supplies, special equipment etc. need to

be fitted.
