Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Installation

To set up your EC1000 / EC2004 Energy Box installation, refer to the installation diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbered steps), and do the following:

1.Use a grounding wire to ground the Energy Box by connecting one end of the wire to its grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.

Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or static electricity.

2.For each Energy PDU you want to connect, use an RJ-45 cable included with the package to connect the Energy Box to the Energy PDU.

3.Plug the cable that connects the Energy Box to the LAN, into the LAN port.

4.(Optional) If you are using environmental sensors with your Energy Box installation, connect them to the rear environmental sensor ports, and see Securing the Sensors, page 17 for sensor installation.

Note: Sensors are optional. Please see Optional Accessories, page 6.

5.(Optional) If you are using a door sensor with your installation, connect it to the 4-pin dry sensor port on the unit’s rear panel (EC2004 only), and follow the installation instructions provided with the door sensor.

Note: See Door Sensor, page 6, for further information

6.Connect the power adapter to an AC power source.
