Install the PowerMonitor 5000 Unit
Only qualified personnel can install, wire, service, and maintain this equipment.
Refer to and follow the safety guidelines and pay attention to all warnings and
notices in these instructions.
Mounting Considerations Mount the PowerMonitor 5000 unit in a suitable protective enclosure. Select an
enclosure that protects the unit from atmospheric contaminants, such as oil,
water, moisture, dust, corrosive vapors, and other harmful airborne substances.
Make sure the enclosure protects against personal contact with energized circuits.
The ambient temperature within the enclosure must remain within the limits
listed in
Appendix B , Technical Specifications . Select an enclosure that provides
adequate clearance for ventilation and wiring for the power monitor and other
equipment to be installed within the enclosure.
See PowerMonitor 5000 Unit Dimensions on page 18 for dimensions and
spacing guidelines for the power monitor.
When installed within a substation or switchgear lineup, we recommend that the
power monitor be mounted within a low-voltage cubicle, isolated from medium
and high-voltage circuits. Be sure that the mounting panel is properly connected
to a low-impedance earth ground.
Mount the enclosure in a position that allows full access to the unit. Install the
unit with the ventilation slots in the bottom and top of the unit unobstructed to
assure adequate free convection cooling of its internal electronic components.
ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or
semiconductors. Follow these guidelines when you handle the module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist strap grounding device.
• Do not open the module or attempt to service internal components.
• Use a static safe work station, if available.
• Keep the module in its static shield bag when not in use.
