Grounding
Maintain reliable grounding of this product.
Pay particular attention to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than
directly to the branch circuit.
Install DC-rated equipment only under the following conditions:
-
Connect the equipment to a DC supply source that is electrically isolated from the AC
source and reliably connected to ground, or connect it to a DC (SELV) source.
-
Install only in restricted access areas (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets or
the like) in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
-
Route and secure input wiring to terminal block in such a manner that it is protected from
damage and stress. Do not route wiring past sharp edges or moving parts.
-
Incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device, with a 3 mm minimum contact gap, in
the fixed wiring.
-
Provide a listed circuit breaker suitable for protection of the branch circuit wiring and rated
60 VDC minimum.
Fuses
For protection against fire, replace the power-input-module fuse with the same type and rating.
Rack
If rack mounted units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, they may require further
evaluation by Certification Agencies. The following items must be considered:
Do
not
install the unit in a rack in such a way that a hazardous stability condition results
because of uneven loading. A drop or fall could cause injury.
The ambient temperature (Tma) inside the rack may be greater than the room ambient
temperature. Make sure to install the SLC console manager in an environment with an
ambient temperature less than the maximum operating temperature of the SLC device.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)
because of the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
Before operating the SLC console manager, make sure the SLC unit is secured to the rack.
