Part 1, Installation

Orientation

The G2912A ALS controller is designed to be installed in a horizontal
orientation as shown in

. If mounted in the incorrect vertical

orientation, the probability of tipping increases with the possibility of injury
to personnel.

Electrical requirements

Grounding

To protect users, the cabinet is grounded through the three-conductor power
line cord in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
requirements.
