PERMANENT POWER
INSTALLATION
Permanent power can be installed at various points
in the overall installation process; however it must
be installed by a qualified electrical contractor in
compliance with local codes and regulations. Power
must be a dedicated circuit connected through a
2-pole fused and lockable disconnect. Fuse should
be a minimum of 15A.
Route wiring from disconnect to tower as directly as
possible and enter tower through most convenient
knock-out in tower side panels. Inside the tower
enclosure route wires from knockout to internal
junction box along the back panel of the enclosure.
Use the back side of the wire channel if the junction
box is at a different level than knockout. Be sure all
wiring is routed clear of the moving carriage and
roller wheels inside the tower. See Figure 4-14.
