6� LPS36 System Installation
This chapter is provided for qualified personnel to install an LPS36 system.
6�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.
6�2 Safety Precautions
WARNING!
The DC input to the modules (and the converter system) – though not dangerous in volt-
age – has a high short circuit current capacity that may cause severe burns and electri-
cal 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 work
-
ing on them.
Before working with any live power system, take the following precautions:
•
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.
Installers should follow all applicable local rules and regulations for electrical and battery installations; e.g., CSA, UL,
CEC, NEC, OSHA, and local fire codes.
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 con-
nected 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 pro
-
tection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
WARNING!
CXCI+ controller Ethernet port is not designed to withstand lightning and AC power
cross surges according to the NEBS requirements in GR-1089-CORE. Ensure that any
Ethernet cable used (not provided by Alpha) does not exceed a maximum length of 6
meters.
