environment.
NOTE:
To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
5.1
Safety Precautions
WARNING
Hazardous voltages are present at the input of converter/rectifier systems. The DC output, from
the converters/rectifiers and the battery system, has a high short circuit current capacity that may
cause severe burns and electrical arcing.
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 battery or power system/distribution center, follow these 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 OSHA approved insulated hand 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.
CAUTION
The CSM46 is suitable for installation as part of the Common Bonding Network (CBN).
The CMS46 is suitable for connection to the (Central Office, NEC)
The CMS46 must be grounded via a copper ground conductor.
Before making connections all bare grounding connection points to the CMS46 must be cleaned
and coated with an anti-oxidant solution.
Before making connections all surfaces on the CMS46 that are un-plated must be brought to a
bright finish and treated with and anti-oxidant solution.
To ensure electrical continuity, all non-conductive surfaces on the LPS36 should be removed from
all threads and all connection points.
The CMS46 utilizes a 2-hole compression lug with a #6 AWG wire that utilizes 8.8 ft-lbs torque to
secure it to the frame and CMS46.
