3.02 Site Selection
Select a clean, dry location with good ventilation and ad-
equate working space around all components.
NOTE
Review Important Safety Precautions (Section 1)
to be sure that the selected location meets all safety
requirements.
The power supply is fan cooled by air flow through the
side panel to the front and rear panels. Air flow must not
be obstructed. Provide at least 2 feet (0.6 m) in the rear
and at least 6 inches (150 mm) on each side for clearance.
Provide sufficient clearance in front of the unit to allow
access to the front panel controls (min. 6 inches or 150
mm).
CAUTION
Operation without proper air flow will inhibit
proper cooling and reduce duty cycle.

age during shipping.
1. Unpack each item and remove any packing material.
