2.1
Making The AC Power Connection
•
For the main cabinet’s AC power connection, employ a dedicated 117 VAC 15 AMP circuit, with a third-wire
ground, supplied to a standard electrical outlet (NEMA 5-15R). Remember, this electrical outlet must be
located within four feet of the common equipment cabinet. Remember also, you must supply two dedicated
electrical outlets if you plan to later install expansion cabinets.
NOTE: If you install the optional battery back-up assembly, you can use this same outlet to supply AC power to
that assembly’s battery charger.
•
To provide protection against surges and spikes that may appear on the AC line, install a plug-in power line
surge protector between the AC power cord of the installed equipment and the AC outlet..
CAUTION
DO NOT attach or secure the line cord to the surface of the mounting location in any manner.
