5.2 Mounting the Alpha FXM
The Alpha FXM can be placed on a shelf with no other parts needed. Any version of the FXM can be rack or wall
mounted or secured to a shelf, such as on an outdoor enclosure shelf, with the optional mounting brackets as
shown in the figure below The brackets and the screws to attach them to the Alpha FXM case are available from
Alpha Technologies (part number 740-697-21).
CAUTION!
Terminal block covers and the battery harness restraining bracket MUST be used and
are available from Alpha Technologies (part number 740-698-21). If the Alpha FXM end
application is mounted inside an enclosure or in an area restricted to authorized per-
sonnel, then the covers and bracket may or may not be needed.
To meet NEBS Level 1 specifications when you are installing this unit in a rack or frame, do the following:
1. Before installation, clean all attachment points on the Alpha FXM, rack and mounting brackets and bring
them to a bright finish. Then coat them with an anti-oxidant such as Sanchem Inc. No-Ox ID “A-Special
Electrical Grade” or equivalent.
2. Attach the mounting brackets with the thread forming screws and the paint piercing washers provided with
the brackets to insure adequate grounding between the Alpha FXM chassis and the rack.

racks.
For the FXM 1100/2000 units only, the control panel and the power connection panel can be rotated to suit
your needs. To rotate either one, unscrew the screws in each corner, remove the panel, rotate it and reinstall the
screws.
CAUTION!
Use care to avoid damaging or pulling out the wires or the ribbon cables when rotating
the panels.
