Safety Statements
Please read and follow all safety instructions and warnings before installing, maintaining, or
repairing the equipment. Refer to individual equipment product manuals for additional safety
statements specific to other equipment being installed, removed, or replaced.

Installation Area Limitations
•
Environmental Limitations
•
Do not install this equipment over combustible surfaces.
•
For installations in the U. S. or Canada, use Listed/Certified compression connectors to terminate Listed/
Certified field
-
wire conductors where required. For all installations, apply the appropriate connector to the
correct size conductor as specified by the connector manufacturer, using only the connector manufacturer
’
s
recommended or approved tooling for that connector.
•
If the proper connector for the country of installation is not provided, obtain appropriate connectors and follow
manufacturer
’
s requirements and all local requirements for proper connections.
•
Follow all national and local rules and regulations when making field connections.
•
Torque electrical connections to the values specified on labels or in the product documentation.
•
DC output cables must be dressed to avoid damage to the conductors (caused by routing around sharp edges or
routing in areas where wires could get pinched) and undue stress on the connectors.
•
External protectors (fuses or circuit breakers) must be sized as required by the National Electric Code (NEC)
and/or local codes. Refer to the equipment ratings to assure current does not exceed:
Continuous Load (List 1)
-
64% of protector rating
Maximum Load (List 2
-
typically end of discharge)
-
80% of protector rating.
•
Insulation on field
-
wired conductors must be rated no less than 90° Celsius. Size conductors based on listed
recommendations. Wiring internal to enclosed equipment cabinets must be rated at 105° Celsius (minimum).
Provide an accessible AC disconnect/protection device to remove AC power from the equipment in
the event of an emergency. This device must open all poles and be connected together.
•
Alarm contacts are not fused within the equipment. Current limiting protection for these contacts must be
provided by external circuits. Exceeding these maximum ratings could result in fire or damage to the unit. See
the Specifications section for alarm contacts ratings.
•
In enclosed equipment cabinets, the equipment chassis must be connected directly to the cabinet AC service
ground bus. For applications in huts, vaults, and central offices, the equipment chassis must be connected to the
system bonding network.
