6.0 Making The AC Power Connection
•
For the main cabinet’s AC power connection, employ a dedicated 15 AMP circuit, with a third-wire ground and
supplied to a standard electrical outlet. Remember, this electrical outlet must be located within four feet of the
common equipment cabinet. Remember also, you may need to supply two 15 AMP dedicated electrical outlets,
each protected by its own circuit breaker, 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.
