Physically installing the GW8600 SMG
2.1
Safety requirements
2.1.1
Ensure cables are away from the high voltage end of the PSU
The safety certification for the GW8600 SMG is invalid if cables are wired over
or infringe on the high voltage end of the PSU. Do not wire cables over or near
the high voltage end of the PSU.
Figure 1 shows the high voltage end of the PSU in the GW8600 SMG and an example of
the correct wiring of the unit. We recommend that you tie cables to the points that are
shown in Figure 1. If you cannot support the cables at the points that are shown in
Figure 1, ensure the wiring is supported from another appropriate point or by an
appropriate group of cables.

2.1.2
Connect cables through access points
Connect cables to the GW8600 SMG through the access point in the upper left of the box,
which has a removable PVC faceplate, or through the 20mm knockout holes on each side
of the box. Ensure that external cables enter the box through PVC conduit.
We recommend that you always use the cables that are provided with the GW8600 SMG.
These cables maximise the performance of the SMG and make it compliant with the
statutory approval requirements.
