Installing the NAE/NIE Technical Bulletin

Installation Considerations
General Notes: All Installations
Consider the following before installing the NAE:
•
Do
gather the tools you need:
-
four fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface (the holes
in the mounting feet are sized for #8 screws)
-
screwdriver for tightening mounting screws
-
screwdriver for securing communication wires in the terminal
blocks
•
Do
transport the NAE using only the original container to prevent
vibration and shock damage to the unit.
•
Do
allow sufficient space for cable connections. The actual
mounting area required for the NAE is approximately 408 mm
(16.1 in.) wide, 303 mm (11.9 in.) high, and 148 mm (5.8 in.) deep.
See Figure 9.
•
Do
provide slack in the wires so that you have enough room to
make connections to the NAE. Keep cables routed neatly around
the NAE to promote good ventilation, LED visibility, and ease of
service.
•
Do
make sure the mounting surface can support the NAE and the
added weight of the enclosure (if used). The NAE weighs
approximately 2.8 kg (6.3 lb).
•
Do
refer to
Correct Mounting Orientations
and
Mounting the NAE
for mounting details. Mounting orientations vary depending on the
mounting technique you use.
•
Do
make sure the mounting surface for a wall-mount installation is
even. If you must mount on an uneven surface, be careful to not
over tighten screws and crack the unit. If necessary, use shims or
washers to make sure the unit is secure on the mounting surface.
•
Do
make sure you have all the parts shipped with the NAE
(Figure 8). The data protection battery and NAE unit ship together
but are packaged separately.
•
Do
not
mount in areas with corrosive vapors in the atmosphere and
respect the environmental limitations listed in Table 5.
