Preparing for
Installation
Once you select a location for the PA PowerStation, you will need to
create a cutout for the unit.
If you plan to operate the PA PowerStation using AC power, and you
purchased CTC’s optional AC Power Supply, you will need to prepare
a location for the Power Supply also.
Procedures for creating the cutout and preparing a location for the AC
Power Supply are described below. If you already have an appropriate
cutout and are using DC power, continue with Installing the PA
PowerStation on page 33.
Creating the Cutout
The PA PowerStation comes with a template that is designed to
simplify the task of creating a cutout for the unit. Be sure to follow the
cutout dimensions on the template precisely so that the PowerStation
will properly seal in its enclosure.
Create a Cutout
To create the cutout, complete the following steps:
1.
Attach the template securely to the mounting surface.
2.
Cut out the shaded area on the template referred to as the "Panel
Cutout Area." To maintain the flatness of the mounting surface,
CTC recommends that if you punch out the mounting hole, you
should maintain proper surface flatness and edge quality.
The cutout dimensions for the PA PowerStation are shown in the
following table:
3.
Debur the edges of the cutout area, removing dirt and debris that
might come in contact with the unit.
4.
More information is available on the CD that comes with the PA
PowerStation. Be sure to refer to the dimensional drawings found
on the CD when creating your cutout.
