6 Installation and Wiring
6.1 Mounting
The FP-6000 is shipped with the Outer Enclosure assembled with
a backing plate between the enclosure housing box and the front
latching frame. This factory assembled outer chassis allows for
panel thickness variations, minor panel distortions and has
relaxed panel cutout tolerance requirements for easy faster panel
mounting. The panel footprint outline is equivalent to the Eaton
DT3XXX and MP3XXX draw-out designs. However it differs from
most Eaton IQ style panel mounts in that:
•
The panel cutout is slightly larger.
•
The enclosure is mounted from the front user side of the panel.
•
Four mounting studs/nuts are used for panel mounting.
The following paragraphs describe the mounting of the FP-6000
relay.
Mount the unit vertically on a flat panel. The location should be
as free as possible of water, chemicals, dust, and excessive heat
and vibration. The panel should protect the user from accidental
contact with live terminals on the back of the FP-6000. A 0.125 in.
(3.18 mm) steel panel or door, solidly grounded, is
recommended.
