APPROVED FLOOR GROUNDS

! CAUTION:

If the approved ground is inside a dedicated equipment room, then these connections must be made by a qualified electrician.

Floor grounds are those grounds on each floor of a high-rise building that are suitable for connection to the ground terminal in the riser closet and to the cabinet single-point ground terminal. Approved floor grounds may include:

■Building steel

■The grounding conductor for the secondary side of the power transformer feeding the floor

■Metallic water pipes

■Power-feed metallic conduit supplying panel boards on the floor

■A grounding point specifically provided in the building for the purpose

Uninterruptible Power Supply

An optional UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) may be used for power holdover. The type of UPS depends on the holdover requirements. Holdover times vary from less than 10 minutes to up to 8 hours. The UPS must provide surge protection for all connected cabinets.

1.Connect the UPS to an electrical outlet capable of handling the power requirements of all cabinets:

a.For 100 VAC, multiply 4.5 Amps times the number of cabinets. b. For 120 VAC, multiply 3.8 Amps times the number of cabinets. c. For 200 VAC, multiply 2.3 Amps times the number of cabinets.

d. For 220-240 VAC, multiply 2.0 Amps times the number of cabinets.

2.Be sure that Cabinet A (control carrier) is connected to an “unswitched” or “always on” electrical outlet on the UPS.
