5� LPS36 Compact System Installation
• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during installation.
Use insulated metallic tools.
The installer should follow all applicable local rules and regulations for electrical and battery installations; e.g., CSA,
UL, CEC, NEC, OSHA, and local fire codes.
This chapter is provided for qualified personnel to install an LPS36 Compact system.
5.1 General Instructions
This chapter provides cabling details and notes on cable sizing for DC applications.
Connections to the converter system must comply with all the local codes and ordinances.
5.2 Safety Precautions
WARNING!
The DC input to the modules (and the converter system) – though not dangerous in
voltage – has a high short circuit current capacity that may cause severe burns and
electrical arcing.
The DC output is a potentially dangerous voltage. Do not touch the output connections
when under power. Ensure that power has been removed from the outputs before
working on them.
WARNING!
The intra-building ports (Ethernet, CAN, alarm relays) of the equipment or
subassembly are suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or
cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These
interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4
ports) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary
Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically
to OSP wiring.
Before working with any live power system, take the following precautions:
