5.2 Mounting the Alpha FXM

The Alpha FXM can be placed on a shelf with no other parts needed. Any version of the FXM can be rack or wall

mounted or secured to a shelf, such as on an outdoor enclosure shelf, with the optional mounting brackets as

shown in the figure below The brackets and the screws to attach them to the Alpha FXM case are available from

Alpha Technologies (part number 740-697-21).

CAUTION!

Terminal block covers and the battery harness restraining bracket MUST be used and

are available from Alpha Technologies (part number 740-698-21). If the Alpha FXM end

application is mounted inside an enclosure or in an area restricted to authorized per-

sonnel, then the covers and bracket may or may not be needed.

To meet NEBS Level 1 specifications when you are installing this unit in a rack or frame, do the following:

1. Before installation, clean all attachment points on the Alpha FXM, rack and mounting brackets and bring

them to a bright finish. Then coat them with an anti-oxidant such as Sanchem Inc. No-Ox ID “A-Special

Electrical Grade” or equivalent.

2. Attach the mounting brackets with the thread forming screws and the paint piercing washers provided with

the brackets to insure adequate grounding between the Alpha FXM chassis and the rack.

Figure 7 — Mounting the Alpha FXM Mounting brackets position for rack mounting. Rotate to fit either 19" or 23" racks.

For the FXM 1100/2000 units only, the control panel and the power connection panel can be rotated to suit

your needs. To rotate either one, unscrew the screws in each corner, remove the panel, rotate it and reinstall the

screws.

CAUTION!

Use care to avoid damaging or pulling out the wires or the ribbon cables when rotating

the panels.
