Surge Protective Devices

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection

1.Inspect the shipping crate(s) for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the unit.

2.Remove any securing bands and cardboard packing and inspect the unit for any obvious shipping damages.

3.Ifany damageasa result ofshipping is observed,immediately file a claim with the shipping agency and forward a copy to your local Liebert Sales Representative.

Handling Considerations

Larger units are bolted to a shipping pallet to facilitate handling by forklift or pallet jack. Check the size and weight. Refer to the cabinet data furnished with the unit.

Storage

The unit should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Storage temperature range is -55ºC (-67ºF) to +85ºC (+185ºF). Care should be taken to avoid condensation. All packing and shipping materials should be left intact until the unit is ready for final installation. If the unit has been stored for an extended period of time, the unit should be cleaned and carefully inspected before placing into service.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

For optimum transient surge protection, coordinated surge suppression should be applied at the service entrance and all other electrical connections to the building (telephone, CATV, etc.), at known surge generating loads within the building (large motors, arc welders, switched capacitors, etc.), as well as at sensitive electronic loads (such as computers, electronic appliances, solid state motor drives, etc.). For interconnected electronic loads (such as by way of data cabling), transient surge suppression should also be applied to the interconnecting wiring (data cables).

Environment — Unit is designed for operation indoors in ambient temperatures of -40ºC (-40ºF) to +60ºC (+140ºF) with a relative humidity of 0% to 95% (non-condensing).

The unit is provided in an industrial use enclosure, which is dust-tight and drip-tight and should not be installed in areas with excessive dust, corrosive vapors, flammable materials or explosive atmospheres.

Audible Noise — The audible noise of the unit is less than 40 dB at 5 feet, which allows its placement within almost any room if desired.

Service Clearances — Service clearance is needed for units with hinged doors on the front that are capable of being opened. Thirty-six inches (36 in/914 mm) minimum is recommended.

Mounting — Unit is intended to be wall mounted. Refer to installation instructions for mounting dimensions and weight.

Warnings Defined —

Danger: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations.

Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
