A/R MegaPAC “Quick Install” Instructions 

(For Mechanical Drawing, see page 13)

Mounting the Autoranging MegaPAC 

n

 

The Autoranging MegaPAC can be mounted on any of four sides.

n

 

Use #8-32 or 4mm mounting screws.

  Maximum penetration should not exceed 0.15" (3,8mm).

n

 

Maintain 2" (5,1cm) clearance at either end for airflow.

n

 

Maximum allowable torque is 20 lb-in.

Input Connections

Input Power J9

n

 

Input AC power is applied to terminal block J9 using a pressure screw terminal. 

n

 

Maximum torque is 10 lb-in. 

n

 

A fuse or circuit breaker in the input line is required for safety reasons.

n

 

Use a maximum wire size of 10 AWG with soldered terminals.

n

 

The connector manufacturer recommends the wires not be tinned.    

 

 

  A  ferrule (Phoenix P/N  32-00-58-0, purchased from other sources) can 
  be used to prevent fraying.

Output Connections

Power Connections

 

Installing ring lugs and/or bus bars on output studs:

n

 

The upper stud is Positive and the lower stud is the Return.

n

 

Remove outer nut. Do not remove or loosen inner nut. 

n

 

Place ring lug over output stud.

n

 

Replace and tighten outer nut to a maximum torque of 45 lb-in.

  Do Not Over-Tighten Nuts.

n

 

Verify all output nuts are properly installed before turning on supply.

Installing power connectors on DualPACs (J1A and J1B):

n

 

Use Molex mating receptacle #39-01-2060 with #39-00-0039   

 

 

 

  terminals provided.

n

 

Pins 1 and 4 are Positive, while pins 2 and 5 are the Return. 

n

 

Attach terminals to 18-24 AWG stranded wire using Molex tool #11-01-0197.
