Recombiner B, without an asterisk, ships with sections bolted together .
The drawing supplied with the Recombiner will indicate the correct
orientation of sections by section number . Each section will have
a rating label designating “Recombiner Section ___ of ___ .” The
manufacturer will fill in the blanks prior to shipment . An example:
The first section on the left of a three- section Recombiner will
read “Section 1 of 3 .” Section 2 of 3 would be mounted to the right
adjacent per the manufacturer’s drawings .
Multi-section Recombiners are designed to be front and rear
aligned . Drawings provided by the manufacturer and located in the
Recombiner will show footprint details . Orientation, as shown on
the drawings, must be maintained (see
Figure 9
) .
Figure 9. Example of front- and rear-aligned Recombiner
Sections may contain factory cross bus and/or cable to connect
power between Recombiner structures and other components .
Installers should note the location and orientation of all splice plates
and/or cables as reference for installation once sections are joined .
If supplied, remove splice plates and associated hardware, again
noting the orientation for reinstallation once Recombiner is in place .
If additional hardware is needed to complete these connections,
extra hardware will be provided . For shipping purposes, it will
typically be secured inside one of the structures . Keep bus and
hardware in a clean and protected environment to guard against
damage until reinstallation . Protect any factory-installed cables (wire)
used to connect components between sections from damage when
moving Recombiner sections into place .
An outdoor multi-section Recombiner will ship with uninstalled
intermediate roof cap(s) for each joint between sections . Remove
roof cap(s) prior to moving sections into their permanent positions .
Retain roof cap(s) and associated hardware for reinstallation .
Keep roof caps and associated hardware in a clean and protected
environment to guard against damage while awaiting reinstallation
The standard outdoor Recombiner uses a flat roof design, which
does not require any sealant when the intermediate roof cap is
correctly installed in the field .
Use caution and appropriate equipment and practices when
moving Recombiner into its final position.
WARNING
RECOMBINER IS TOP-HEAVY. USE CARE IN HANDLING.
Exercise caution while maneuvering top-heavy Recombiner sections
into place . Recombiner sections must always remain in the upright
position during installation . Use care when moving the Recombiner
so as not to damage the section, including the structural base and
frame . Some Recombiners house sensitive components, which can
be damaged by rough handling .
Prior to moving the Recombiner sections into their permanent
position, make note of all obstacles including conduit stubs .
Implement a plan for safe transition and appropriate means to
accommodate these obstructions . Take note of conduits entering
through the bottom of the Recombiner, the rear of the Recombiner,
and at the top of the Recombiner to ensure appropriate clearances
from chassis, structure, cross bus, ground, and components .
Provide space for a minimum 1/2-inch clearance from the back of
the Recombiner and any wall for front-accessible Recombiners
installed indoors .
Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for required
Recombiner clearances .
