A “Warning” identies conditions and actions that pose a hazard to the user.
This power supply and its associated hardware (enclosure, cabling) may contain
equipment(s), or parts which have accessible hazardous voltage or currents.
To avoid injury:
• This power supply and its associated hardware must be serviced by authorized
personnel only.
• Verify AC line power is de-energized prior to installation or service.
• Remove all conductive jewelry or personal equipment prior to servicing equipment,
parts, connectors, wiring, or batteries.
• Read and follow all installation, equipment grounding, usage, and service instructions
included in this manual.
Enclosure, equipment or parts may be damaged or cause damage if used or
installed improperly.
To avoid damage:
• An agency-approved service disconnect switch with overcurrent protection must be
provided by the installer. It shall be connected between the power source and the
power supply. Subject to local codes, the service disconnect switch shall be in an
outdoor enclosure rated @ 120Vac with a noninterrupted neutral termination and
shall have a 15A circuit breaker. Due to the ferroresonant transformer, the circuit
breaker should be a high inrush magnetic type that will withstand short duration
inrush currents
• Overcurrent protection and disconnecting means for the AC output are to be
supplied by the installer as required by local codes.
• Use #16AWG minimum Copper, 75C, for all utility input wiring. Prior to installation,
verify that the output voltage from the enclosure or its equipment match the voltage
requirements of the connected equipment (load).
• Verify the enclosure which houses the power supply has sufcient ventilation to
maintain the power supply in its specied operating temperature range (-40°C to
+55°C).
• Do not operate the power supply in an environment containing corrosive or
conductive gas, vapor, liquid, or dust.
• When servicing the power supply, use only specied replacement parts.
• Servicing is to be performed only by authorized personnel.
