• Torque electrical connections to the values specified on labels or in the product
documentation.
• Battery input cables must be dressed to avoid damage to the conductors (caused by routing
around sharp edges or routing in areas where wires could get pinched) and undue stress on
the connectors.
• Alarm contacts on the office alarm board are not fused; therefore, current limiting
protection for these contacts must be provided by external circuits. Maximum ratings for
alarm connections are 60Vdc and 0.5 amperes. Exceeding these maximum ratings could
result in fire or damage to the unit.
• Fuse and/or circuit breaker loads must not exceed 80% of the fuse and/or circuit breaker
current rating. Distribute loads across the panel.
• The short circuit current capability of the battery input to the distribution panel must not
exceed 10,000A.
• AC branch circuits to this equipment must be protected with either fuses or circuit breakers
sized as required by the National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes. The maximum
size of the over-current protector is based on the type of shelf. Refer to the equipment
ratings to assure rating of equipment will not exceed 80% of the value of the protector
chosen.
• High leakage currents are possible due to contribution from simultaneous multiple AC
input connections. Earth ground connection is essential before connecting the ac source to
the shelf. This connection must be achieved by ensuring that the C.O. grounding stud is
connected as shown in the Installation Section, or quality service personnel shall ensure
that the rack system is bonded per the provision below.
• An accessible ac disconnect/protection device to remove power from the equipment in the
event of an emergency must be provided. Disconnect all AC branch circuits prior to making
AC connections.
• Installing fuses or circuit breakers not specified for use in these distribution modules may
result in injury to service personnel or equipment damage. Use only replacement parts
listed in this manual and on the equipment drawings.
• The telecom-type (e.g., GMT type) fuses can produce sparks during interruption or clearing
of a fault on a high energy circuit. Use only fuses provided with safety caps for this type of
circuit. Installing telecom-type fuses not equipped with safety caps may result in injury to
service personnel.
• While installing batteries, follow all safety precautions outlined in the appropriate battery
product manuals.
