INSTALLATION
ZPU-5000 units are usually delivered pre-installed and pre-cabled inside a cabinet. ZPU 5000 units can also
be ordered separately as an addition to an existing installation. When ZPU-5000 units are added to a standard
cabinet from VibroSystM, pre-wired harnesses are available.
2.1 Installing the ZPU-5000 in a cabinet or enclosure
The following guidelines will help you plan your equipment cabinet configuration:
• Allow sufficient clearance around the cabinet or enclosure for maintenance;
• Make sure the internal temperature inside the enclosure does not exceed 50°C [122°F];
• Cables must be kept away from electrical noise sources, such as power lines and fluorescent lighting
fixtures.
• Keep signal cables separated from power cables;
• The unit must be kept away from electrically conductive dust, water or moisture;
• When mounted in an enclosed cabinet, it is suggested to allow a space of at least 5 1/4” (3U) above each
component for ventilation;
• Side support angles are required to install the unit in a cabinet.
2.1.1 Connecting the power cord and chassis grounding wire
Warning - Danger Caution
• The ZPU-5000’s power supply and grounding connection should be installed in accordance with national
and local electrical norms.
• To ensure protection, the chassis grounding wire (protective conductor terminal) must be of a gauge
heavier or equal to the gauge of the AC input wires.
The protective conductor terminal must be connected to a grounding point
in compliance with local regulations. Grounding is essential for safety
purposes as well as to provide better efficiency against ESD and EMI
disturbances.
For safety purposes, a 15A circuit breaker should be included in the circuit supplying power to the ZPU-5000.
Several instruments may be connected to a circuit protected by a circuit breaker, but each instrument must
have its own disconnect device.
