Location Considerations
3.0LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The STS2 should be placed in a clean, cool and dry location. The STS2 requires only front access for installation and maintenance. Back or side access is not required. Adequate space is required above the unit for conduit (if configured as such) and cooling air flow. This section provides specific informa- tion for these considerations.
The unit is designed with top and bottom cable terminations to allow maximum flexibility in its installation. If bottom cable entry is used, sufficient cable bending space must be provided by a raised floor or a floor stand.
For dimensions of each unit, see Figures 5, 6 and 7 in section 7.0 - Installation Drawings on page 17. If your unit is equipped with an optional key lockout switch, see Figures 8 through 10 for location of that switch.
