Safety
Safety Statements
Read and follow all safety statements, precautions and warnings before installing, maintaining, or repairing the
equipment.
See the Specifications section for installation and environmental limitations.
• Grounding
• Connect the equipment chassis directly to ground. In enclosed equipment cabinets connect to the cabinet ac
service ground bus. In huts, vaults, and central offices connect to the system bonding network.
• Ground per National Electrical ode, local building codes, and customer standards, preacices, and requirements.
• Load outputs are hazardous
• current limited +/-190V
• Automatically re-energize within 4 seconds when ground faults or short circuits are cleared.
• Do not install this equipment over combustible surfaces.
• Follow all national and local rules and regulations when making field connections.
• Compression Connectors
• U. S. or Canada installations - use Listed/Certified compression connectors to terminate Listed/Certified field-
wire conductors where required.
• All installations - apply the appropriate connector to the correct size conductor as specified by the connector
manufacturer, using only the connector manufacturer’s recommended or approved tooling for that connector.
• Torque electrical connections to the values specified on labels or in the product documentation.
• Dress cables to avoid damage to the conductors and undue stress on the connectors.
• Size protectors (fuses or circuit breakers) as required by the National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes. Refer
to the equipment ratings to assure current does not exceed:
Continuous Load (List 1) - 64% of protector rating
Maximum Load (List 2 - typically end of discharge) - 80% of protector rating.
• Field-wired Conductors - Follow all National Electric Code (NEC) and local rules and regulations when making field
connections.
• Size field-wired conductors based on listed recommendations, National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes
based on 70°C ampacity.
• Insulation rating: 90°C minimum; 105°C (minimum) if internal to enclosed equipment cabinets.
• Provide accessible AC and DC input disconnect/protection devices to remove input power in an emergency.
• Provide external current limiting protection for alarm contacts. Rating 60V, 0.5A unless otherwise noted.
• Use only specified fuses and circuit breakers.
• Use only GMT fuses provided with safety caps.
