Inserting Front Blank Panels
Blank panels contain cooled air in the appliance. Use the blank panels to close open slots.
To insert a blank panel at the front:
1.
Insert the blank panel into the open slot.
2.
Tighten the two thumb screws.
Note
- Rear blank panels are preinstalled on the Chassis.
Connecting DC Power
Connect the DC PEMs in the 61000 Security System to an external battery power source. You must
have a mains DC power supply system that includes batteries and a branch circuit breaker of 125A
for each PEM.
The DC PEM is described in
DC Power Entry Modules (PEMs)
(on page
Required Tools and Parts:
•
4 DC wire leads for each PEM that connects to the DC power supply. Use 6AWG wires. There is
no standard for DC wire color coding. There is no standard for DC wire color coding. Use the
color codes on the DC power source (battery) for the DC wire leads.
•
4 lugs (Panduit LCD6-10A-L) for each PEM connect he wire leads to the PEM terminal blocks.
•
Crimping tool to connect the wire leads to the lugs.
•
Wire cutters.
•
Hexagonal-head socket wrench, or nut driver for tightening nuts to terminal studs on each
PEM.
To connect DC power:
Note
- These instructions assume that the PEMs are installed in the 61000 Security
System Chassis.
1.
Set the branch circuit breakers at the mains to OFF.
2.
On the PEM, set all the circuit breakers to OFF.
3.
Remove the protective plastic cover.
4.
Where the PEM is marked
-48/-60 VDC
and
Return
,
remove the nuts from the terminal studs.
Use a socket wrench or nut driver.
5.
Connect the 48/-60 VDC cables to the battery:
a)
Using the crimping tool, connect two 6 AWG wire leads to two lugs.
b)
Attach the two wired lugs to the
-48/-60 VDC
terminal studs on the PEM. Use the socket
wrench or nut driver.
c)
Connect the other ends of the two wires to the -48/-60VDC battery terminal.
