Propane Safety Notes

1. Never overfill your LP-gas container. LPgas containers not
containing a fixed liquid level gauge must be filled by
weight to 80% of their total capacity. Propane expands

1.5% for each 10 °F increase in temperature. 20% of the
container must remain available for expansion. Some tanks
supplied by Alpha Technologies come equipped with auto­matic stop fill valves. Tanks must be filled in accordance
with manufactures, D.O.T, NFPA Code 58, state and local
regulations.

2. Do not use pliers to close the POL valve on your tank.
These valves are designed to be closed leak tight by hand or
screwdriver as appropriate. If pliers are needed to stop a

vi

leak , the valve needs replacement.

3. When tightening the POL Nut (left-hand thread) on the
service valve, draw it up snug with a proper wrench  do not
jam it. No thread sealant is necessary. Check for leaks
after connecting, by using a leak detection solution or soapy
water.

4. If you take your LP-gas tank to a LP-gas dealer for filling,
transport it in the proper position in which it is used (verti­cal for all Alpha Technologies supplied tanks), with the
valves closed and the POL plug inserted. Secure the tank
against falling or rolling.

5. The outside of the tank should be kept corrosion free by
periodic checks and a coat of paint should be used if needed
(light reflective color).

031-093-C0-001 © 3/99

Propane Safety Notes

6. Do not store LP-gas tanks indoors or in enclosed areas. Do
not expose the tanks to heat, relief valve may open. Al­ways store with the service valve closed tight and plugged.

7. Do not attempt to repair LP-gas containers or valves or
regulators.

8. When using make sure that the tank is level, securely fas­tened down, and vertical.

9. Check all tank and line connections periodically to be sure
they are tight. When testing for leaks use soapy water or a
leak detect solution. Do not use any open flame for leak
testing.

1. System Overview

1.1 Overview

The CE-X series of enclosures from Alpha Technologies has been
designed to meet the needs of todays outside plant powering requirements.
When an alternate fuel source is not available, the CEG propane natural gas
option can provide up to 16 hours of continuous operation.

The procedures described in this document describe the installation of a
CE-G Series Propane Enclosure. The installation procedures are identical for
the CE-3G and the CE-9G. The cabinet footprint (and mounting hole location)
is identical for each enclosure. The only physical difference between the
enclosures is that the CE-3G is 44 tall and the CE-9G is 52 tall.

2. Pre-Installation

2.1 Site Preparation

2.1.1 Site considerations

The site for the collocated CE-G will be predetermined by

the location of the CE-X enclosure.

The site for the remotely located CE-G should be planned so
that the enclosure will receive good air flow. If possible, in areas
of extreme heat, the enclosure should be positioned so that it
will be shaded from the afternoon sun. In areas of prevailing
winds, the enclosure should be located so that the side of the
cabinet face into the direction of the prevailing wind. This will
greatly reduce the amount of wind borne matter (dirt, snow, and
debris) which may enter the enclosure through the louvers or
vents.

In areas of flooding, the geographical site and concrete pad
should be located above the flood plane.

Place the front of the enclosure facing the street, where
component access will be curbside. In most instances,
landscaping such trees, shrubs, or wooden fences serve to
provide a more acceptable appearance in keeping with
surrounding neighborhood designs.

The enclosure should be placed where it will be free of
obstructions.

2. Pre-Installation

2.1 Site Preparation, continued

The illustration below shows the general dimensions for a poured
in place concrete pad. When placing the pad, allow at least 36
inches of clearance to allow the front and rear doors to fully
open.

3/8" diameter (4 places) bolts (which should extend
1"-1 1/2" above the surface of the pad). All mounting hardware
must be stainless steel to prevent corrosion.

A 25+ year continuous vapor barrier must be used between the

2

enclosure and pad to prevent moisture ingress and corrosion
caused by metal-to-concrete contact. The vapor barrier material
(such as 30 lb. felt, neoprene pond liner, or heavy grade tar
paper) should initially extend at least 6" in all directions around
the perimeter of the enclosure. After the enclosure is in place, the
material should be cut closer to the enclosure, using the
appropriate knife or cutting tool.

2. Pre-Installation

2.1 Site Preparation, continued

2.1.3 Enclosure Impact Protection

As described in the NFPA Technical Compliance Statement,
the cabinet must be protected by impact posts, placed in
strategic locations according to traffic patterns. The illustration
below shows the general arrangement of the 6 diameter,
concrete-filled posts. The actual positioning of the posts may
vary by location.

3.3 Installation Procedure

1. Install the CE-G enclosure so that the gas utility box of the CE-X

enclosure fits into the gas utility box cutout on the CE-G (dashed line) as
pictured below. Ensure the two cabinets are placed flush against each
other.

2. With the two cabinets sitting flush against each other, mark the anchor

bolt pattern onto the concrete pad using the four slotted anchor bolt
holes found in the corners of the base plate of the CE-G enclosure as an
template.

3. Also, mark the hole which will be used to bolt the cabinets together

(located at the lower left corner of the gas utility box cutout).

3. Slide the CE-G enclosure away from the CE-X enclosure.

4. Drill with a 1/4 hole through the wall of the CE-X enclosure where
previously marked.

NOTE:

5. With the anchor bolt pattern marked, drill holes for the installation of
anchor studs.

Tools required:

Stainless steel wedge-type stud anchor , 3/8" dia., 3-3/4" in length (4).
4 each, 3/8 flat washer, 3/8 lock washer, and hex nut.
Hand Drill or Rotary Hammer
3/8 Concrete or Masonry bit(s)
Hammer

Mounting bolt installation procedure:

1. At the points located in step 3 above, drill holes for the anchor studs.
Each hole should be at least 1-3/4 deep to properly secure the
enclosure to the pad.

2. With the hammer, tap the anchor studs into their respective holes.

3. Brush away any debris from the drilling prior to proceeding.

Before drilling through the CE-X cabinet wall,
ensure that the area behind the wall is clear
of any wires, gas hoses, or pipes.

3.3 Installation Procedure, continued

5. Lay down the vapor barrier material. With a utility knife, make small
cutouts in the material through which the anchor studs protrude.

6. Place the CE-G enclosure back into place over the mounting studs.

7. With CE-G enclosure in place and flush against the CE-X enclosure,
install the mounting hardware (flat washers, lock washers, and 3/8
nuts) on each mounting bolt. Do not tighten at this time.

8. Install the 1 x 1/4 x 20 bolt through the lower left side bolt hole of the
gas utility box cutout (drilled in Step 4). Secure the bolt using a lock
washer, flat washer and nut.

9. Once the two cabinets have been secured together, evenly tighten the
anchor stud mounting hardware.

7. CEG Enclosures Used In Remote Applications

The collocated CEG enclosure can be converted to be a remotely located
enclosure at distances of no more than 25 feet from the APU. This remote
operation requires the use of interconnecting buried gas pipe, between the
APU cabinet and the CEG cabinet. All pipe and pipe fittings running from the
CEX to the CEG will be installed in accordance with local code. All materials
used must meet approval of all local codes.
