Section 5 - Installation
5.1 Location
For best performance, the CPC series should be installed within fifty (50) wire feet maximum of the protected load. Refer to the dimensional information shown in the specifications sheet accompanying this document. Allow six inches of free space on all sides of the CPC series to provide for proper air circulation. The unit is designed to operate at high efficiency and is convection cooled. If the unit is installed in a facility that has a raised flooring system, ensure that the flooring system can support the weight of the ETA power conditioner. Consult the specification sheet found in Section 10 of this manual for dimensions and weights.
The power conditioner is not weatherproof and must be installed in a dry location.
During winter months, the transition from cold temperatures to a warm indoor 
climate may result in significant condensation. Make sure that the power
conditioner has been given enough time to acclimate to its environment and that condensation has evaporated before installing and energizing the conditioner.
5.2 Conduit Landings
The power conditioner is designed to accept conduit landings on the top panel, rear panel and on the unit bottom (for raised floor applications). It is not possible to land conduits on the side panels due to interference with the ventilation slots and/or the internal frame components.
5.2.1 Top Feed
Conduit holes may be punched or cut anywhere in the top panel except within 3” of any edge. It is important to avoid landing conduits within 3” of the panel edges to prevent interference with the frame of the power conditioner. Consult the specification sheet in Section 10 of this manual for additional guidance.
5.2.2 Rear Feed
Consult the specification sheet in Section 10 of this manual for allowable rear conduit landing locations.
Prior to drilling or cutting any top or rear panel, the panel must be removed.
Drilling or cutting conduit access holes with panels mounted on the conditioner 
may result in metal shavings or other debris falling into or on the transformer or
other system components resulting in damage when power is applied to the system. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by improper or careless installation. Please take proper precautions by removing panels before drilling, cutting, or punching conduit access holes. Failure to follow this precaution will void the product warranty.
5.2.3 Bottom Feed
Consult the specification sheet in Section 10 of this manual for allowable bottom conduit landing locations.
