Safety Statements
Please read and follow all safety instructions and warnings before installing, maintaining, or
repairing the system:
•
The Pulsar Edge controller platform is Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Listed per Subject
Letter 1801, DC Power Distribution Centers for Telecommunications Equipment.
•
Install only in restricted access areas (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets, or the
like) in accordance with articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the U.S. National Electric
Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA No. 70, and pursuant to applicable local codes.
•
This equipment is to be used in controlled environments (an area where the humidity is
maintained at levels that cannot cause condensation on the equipment, the contaminating
dust is controlled, and the steady-state ambient temperature is within the range specified).
•
This equipment has been evaluated for continuous use in ambient temperature from -40°C
to 75°C when used with the CP, EP, NE or other Lineage Power System rectifier families.
•
This equipment must not be installed over combustible surfaces.
•
For installations in the United States, Listed compression connectors are to be used to
terminate Listed field-wired conductors where required. For all installations, the
appropriate connector is to be applied only to the correct size conductor as specified by the
connector manufacturer, using only the connector manufacturer's recommended tooling or
tooling approved for that connector.
•
If the proper connector for the country of installation is not provided, obtain appropriate
connectors and follow manufacturers and all local requirements for proper connections. All
national and local rules and regulations must be followed when making field connections.
•
The main input voltages (48V) meet SELV requirements.
•
Insulation on field-wired conductors must be rated no less than 90° Celsius. Wire conductor
size must be sized per electrical codes for 75° Celsius wire, and based on the ampacity of
the associated protection device.
•
Torque electrical connections to the values specified on labels or in the product
documentation.
•
Alarm contacts from the Pulsar Edge are not fused within the controller or power shelf;
therefore, current limiting protection for these contacts must be inherent in or provided by
external circuits that use these contacts. Maximum ratings for alarm connections are 60Vdc
and 0.5 amperes. Exceeding these maximum ratings could result in fire or damage to the
unit.
