CAUTIONS

A “Caution” identifies conditions and actions that may damage the power
supply or associated equipment.

NOTE

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 sufficient ventilation to
maintain the power supply in its specified 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 specified replacement parts.

• Servicing is to be performed only by authorized personnel.
