All received equipment has been verified against the packing list to ensure completeness
a.
Contact Flash Technology technical support if items found to be missing
Site installation drawings have been consulted for placement, mounting and wiring details
A main power disconnect switch or a circuit breaker has been installed
a.
A 20 AMP breaker should be used for the controller (FTC 270)
b.
Consult site wiring diagram for sizing of circuit breakers for tower circuits
The external ground lug of the controller is connected to the site grounding system.

b.
Bend radius of ground wire is greater than 8”
c.
All exposed ground conductors are coated with a corrosion inhibitor
Junction boxes have been installed to drain condensation properly
Controller has been mounted and positioned to allow adequate clearance to open the cover
Controller has been mounted upright
All screws within the internal controller hardware are hand-tight
Wiring connections have been terminated according to site drawings and equipment info-cards
The input AC power and frequency matches the voltage specified on the unit’s data label.
Electrical connections have been double-checked for tightness
All latches are secured to avoid moisture intrusion
No holes have been punched or drilled to the top or sides of the enclosures
The photodiode has been located where it has an unobstructed view of the polar sky.
