3.0Installation

Before installing the equipment, please note the following UL/CSA60950 product safety listing requirements.

1)The external power supply for 24VDC units shall be a Listed, Direct Plug In power unit, marked Class 2, or a Listed ITE Power Supply, which has a suitably rated output voltage (i.e. 24VDC), and suitably rated output current.

Mounting Instructions -

A)Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B)Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C)Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D)Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E)Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

F)Replacement of fuses should be only by qualified service personnel.

G)A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.

H)When connected to a 48 V centralized dc source, this product is to be installed only in Restricted Access Areas (Dedicated Equipment Rooms, Electrical Closets, or the like) and shall be provided with a Listed 5 A DC fuse or circuit breaker in the supply circuit.
