System Installation Considerations
This section describes items that should be considered before installing the UXTM system.
6.1
Disconnect Device
The first load connector which plugs into load inputs 1, 3, 5 and 7 is the primary disconnect device.
Unplug this connector to disconnect power from the UXTM.
6.2
Equipment Location
Note:
Consider the placement of the equipment in the event service is required. For example,
access to the rear of the equipment or visual access to the status lights may be needed. The equipment
is convection cooled and no cooling fans are used. To maintain proper operating temperature, the
equipment must not be enclosed in another cabinet without proper ventilation.
6.3
Rack Mounting
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified in the
Product Description Guide.
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
6.4
Mounting Options
The equipment can accommodate two types of mounting: 19” rack mount or wall mount. If the rack
mount option is used, brackets (included) will need to be installed.
6.5
Wire Length
Note:
All sense lead harnesses come prefabricated to a 12’, or 25’ length and, in most cases,
should not require additional lengths. In fact, the sense leads are un-terminated on one end so they may
easily be shortened for a cleaner installation. If longer sense leads are required, the maximum sense
lead and/or load lead length of the cable can be up to 25 feet. The resistance load test-wiring limits this
length to the maximum distance the UXTM can be mounted from the battery string. This manual
describes all harnesses at the standard 12’ or 25’ length.
