Equipment Handling
1.1
Storing the SGC
If the SGC is to be stored for more than a few days after delivery, it should be stored within its shipping container.
The location chosen for storage should be within an ambient temperature of -40 to 185°F (-40 to 85°C) with a
non-condensing relative humidity of 5 to 95%. Storage should not exceed 2 years due to the limited shelf life of
the DC filter capacitors when they are not in service.
1.2
Moving the SGC
After careful inspection and upon verification that the SGC is undamaged, identify the enclosure style and weight
of the SGC charger (refer to table below).

Installing the SGC
2.1
Mounting the SGC
When mounting the SGC in any configuration, consider the size and weight of the charger. The wall, rack, and/or
floor must be able to support the weight of the charger, as well as an additional safety factor. Verify the weight
of the SGC charger and the method of mounting using the table below. The location chosen for the charger should
be within an ambient temperature range of -4 to 158
˚F (
-20 to 7
0˚C) with a non
-condensing relative humidity
no higher than 95%. The SGC should be mounted in an area free of flammable & explosive materials and away
from drips and splatter. To be mounted on non-combustible surface. The SGC utilizes convection cooling, so a
clearance of at least 6in of free air must be maintained on the top, bottom, and both sides for cooling air. Maintain
36in or more of clearance at the front of the charger in order to allow for operation and maintenance.

Case Type, Weight, and Dimensions
2.1.1 Wall Mounting the SGC
To wall-mount the SGC, install bolts on the wall rated to support the charger's weight plus a safety factor of at
least four times. Refer to the table above for charger weight specifications. Secure the charger on bolts, add
appropriate mounting hardware, and tighten securely. Refer to the figures on the next page for mounting
dimensions.
NOTE:
All dimensions are in inches. For further SGC enclosure information, see the outline drawings online at
