Strata CTX100 Installation
The AC outlet is recommended to be dedicated and unswitched, with a solid third-wire ground. (See
“AC Power and Earthing Requirements” on Page 2-4 .) This eliminates interference from branch
circuit motor noise or the like, and to prevent accidental power-off. To avoid accidental power turn-off,
Toshiba recommends that you do
not use an On/Off wall switch on this dedicated AC circuit.
For the Strata CTX100, a reserve power source (two or four customer-supplied 12VDC batteries) may
be connected to the system to serve as a power failure backup.
Cabinet Size and Weight
The wall that will support the CTX100 should be able to support 15.9kg (35 lbs.) The weight of each
cabinet is shown in
Table 1-1 on Page 1-2 .
Clearance and Location
The minimum clearance requirements for the Strata CTX100 Base and Expansion cabinets are shown
in
Figure 2-1 .
Consider the following conditions when selecting a location for the Cabinet(s):
The location must be :
◆
Dry and clean
◆
Well ventilated
◆
Well illuminated
◆
Easily accessible
The location must not be :
◆
Subject to extreme heat or cold
◆
Subject to corrosive fumes, dust, or other airborne contaminants
◆
Subject to excessive vibration
◆
Next to television, radio, office automation, or high frequency equipment
If reserve power is to be installed for the Strata CTX100, the batteries will require a well-ventilated
location close (within 2.74m or nine feet) to the CTX100 (the optional Toshiba-supplied battery cable
is 2.74m/9ft in length).
