Unpacking and Inspection

The TRD was carefully packaged at the factory to withstand the normal 

rigors of shipping� However, you should carefully inspect the box and 

contents to confirm that no damage has occurred in transit. Most 

shipping carriers require notification of shipping damage within twenty-

four hours of delivery, and it is the responsibility of the recipient to 

inspect the shipment immediately upon receipt�

4.0  Installation

Installation

Installation of the TRD kit is typically performed as a retrofit for existing 

DCX Series battery disconnect systems in communications battery 

rooms or similar -48VDC power plants� Orders direct to the factory for 

new systems where the TRD option is specified on the order are factory 

installed prior to shipment. This procedure defines the retrofit process 

to install the TRD kit in an existing DCX Series disconnect system�

4.1  Installation Preparation

Installation Preparation

When selecting an installation location, ensure that all of the following conditions are met before proceeding.

4.1.1 

4.1.1 Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If you install the product in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack 

environment may be greater than room ambient� Therefore, take care to install the equipment in an environment 

compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA) specified in Section 6.

4.1.2 

4.1.2  Reduced Air Flow

Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the 

equipment is not compromised�

4.1.3 

4.1.3  Mechanical Loading

Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven 

mechanical loading�

4.1.4 

4.1.4  Circuit Overloading

Circuit Overloading

Give consideration to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits 

might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring� Use appropriate consideration for equipment nameplate ratings 

when addressing this concern�

4.1.5 

4.1.5  Reliable Earthing

Reliable Earthing

Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment� Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct 

connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

4.1.6 

4.1.6  Disconnect Device

Disconnect Device

A readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated in the building installation wiring�
