The Telect dual-feed 600A per feed load center frames
provide high-capacity, -48V and ±24V power protection
for secondary power distribution and data, and
communications equipment. Telect load center frames
are also ideal for primary distribution in small central
offices and at remote sites.
Models 600CB10 and 600CB12 are open-frame
chassis providing excellent heat diss ip ati on and
overhead access to the load center’s BATT and RTN
terminals, vertical inputs.
Models 600CB10 and 600CB12 are white, 2RU, and fit
racks with either EIA or WECO spacing.
•Model 600CB10 contains 10 interrupter positions
on each side and fits a 19-in. rack (an adapter
kit can be purchased separately to mount the
600CB10 in a 23" rack).
•Model 600CB12 has 12 interrupter positions on
each side and fits a 23-in. rack.
Both accommodate AIRPAX
through quad-pole configurations. Each circuit breaker or fuse pole position accommodates a bullet-style, plug-in circuit
breaker or fuse holder up to 100A. With double-pole circuit breakers or TPW fuses, the maximum output load can be up to
200A. The triple-pole circuit breakers have a maximum load of 250A and the quad-pole circuit break ers have a maximum
load of 400A.
Sides A and B are electrically isolated except for the alarm card, which contains power, fuse and bay status relays with
dry, Form-C contacts. The contacts are connected to wire-wrap pins to switch on external power to visual/audio external
alarms. The alarm card also controls the three dual-color LEDs on the front panel.
All input, output and alarm terminals are within the open-frame chassis. All BATT and RTN inputs, outputs and ground
accommodate dual-hole lugs. Input and output terminals are studs and the ground terminals are bolt connections at the
sides of the load center near the rear corners. Only one ground connection is required.

1.2 Installation Guidelines
Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipm ent should be m ain tain ed. Att ent ion s hou ld be given to
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

ALERT! Only qualified technicians may install and maintain this product. Verify all connections meet
requirements specified in local electric codes or operating company guidelines before supplying power.
Protect this equipment with a fuse or breaker sufficient to interrupt power levels specified.
Install this product in locations accessible only to qualified personnel. The panel weighs more than 35 lbs.
(~ 16 kg); two persons may be required for handling and installing the Load Center Frame.
1.4 Installation Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully before beginning installation. If assistance is required, call Technical Support at
•Telect is not liable for shipping damage. If damaged, notify the carrier and call Telect at 509.926.6000 for
further recourse.
•Telect recommends that you install load straps before installing the load center on the rack. Also, install load
straps now for future add-on loads.
•Inspect equipment after unpacking and compare it to the packing list. Immediately report any shipping damage,
defects or missing parts to Telect at 509.926.6000. Keep all documentation that comes with your shipment.
1. Assign interrupter positions and install load straps for those positions before installing the load center in a rack
as follows:
a. Choose interrupter positions for breakers or fuses.
You may mix interrupter ratings and single- and multi-pole interrupters in the same load center. Telect
recommends not mixing fuses with circuit breakers.
• Avoid mixing non-mid-trip and mid-trip breakers.
• Avoid mixing TLS/TPS with TPC fuses. (TLS and TPS fuses are compatible but made by
different manufacturers.)
•Do not use multiple, single-pole breakers or fuses with multi-pole load straps.
b. Record interrupter position(s) and amperage of each intended interrupter.
•To mitigate heat buildup caused by heavy loads ≥ 100A, plan a space on one side of the interrupters.
c. Remove bottom screw holding circuit breaker cover to selected interrupter positions. Refer to Figure 2.
• Retain screw and cover if you intend to use circuit breaker
• Retain screw but discard cover if you intend to use fuses
• Remove corresponding screw in plastic load-strap support
• Slip receptacle(s) of load strap into plastic load strap receptacle holder and fasten with screw removed in the
2. Turn over the load center and check the jumper settings on the alarm board located on the underside of the chassis.
Refer to Figures 3 and 4. The jumpers are set up for REC-4 (non-mid-trip) circuit breakers and fuses. If you plan on
using RLS-4 mid-trip circuit breakers, change the jumper setting as indicated.
3. If you intend to install alarm wiring for load center
and/or bay alarms, consider doing so now before
installing the load center in the rack. The alarm
terminal is located near the top center of the load
center. Refer to Figure 5.
a. If you intend the alarm wires to exit at the back
of the rack, don’t forget to feed alarm wiring
from the back to the front of the rack before wire
wrapping the alarm pins.
b. It is possible to use a short, manual wire-wrap
tool to install alarm wiring after securing the load
center to the rack. If you intend to use a power
or larger manual wire-wrap tool, you must install
alarm wiring now.
ALERT! Only use components and crimping tools approved by agencies or certifying bodies recognized in your
country or region such as Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL), TUV, etc.
5. Use an approved crimping tool to attach approved, dual-hole compression lug onto suitable grounding wire.
(Size of ground depends on input interr upt ion de vice .)
6. If required, lightly coat antioxidant on lug and grounding surface on side of panel. Connect the lug using
flat washers and split washers provided, as shown in Figure 7. Tighten the bolt to 50-in./lb. (5.5 N•m).

/4-20 bolts,
Figure 7 – Ground Lug Connection
WARNING! Before connecting input power cables, make sure input power to the panel is turned off.
7. Make sure input power is off before connecting the panel’s input cables to PDU or battery.
8. For input wiring, crimp dual-hole compression lugs onto #1 AWG to 750 MCM copper wires. The choice of input
wiring depends on the following criteria:
• Input interrupt device rating affects size of input wiring.
• Ambient operating temperature affects the type of input wire insulation. Use the table on the following page
to choose the correct temperature-rated input wires. For further information, consult the National Electrical
Code (NEC).
9. Insulate the lug barrels with UL94 V-0 rated heat shrink tubing.
10. Clean terminals and lugs with a non-abras i ve, non-metallic pad.
11. If required, lightly coat antioxidant on lugs and input BATT and RTN terminals a nd then co nnect lu gs to input
terminals, as shown in Figure 8. Tighten lugs to 150-in./lb. (~17 N•m), max.
Figure 8 – Input Lugs
12. Make sure the breaker or fuse holder positions are either empty, off or
contain dummy fuses (phony, inoperative, all-plastic slugs).
13. Enable the fuse or breaker at primary distribution unit or battery
(750A max.) to turn on Feed A to Side A of load center and then
check voltage and polarity at input connectors of the panel.
Verify the following:
• A PWR LED on front of panel turns green
• B PWR LED turns red
14. With A PWR LED green (normal operation) – but with B PWR LED red
(off or failure operation) – test A PWR relay and contact alarm terminal:
• Expect continuity (0Ω) between Terminals C and NC
• Expect an open circuit (∞Ω) between Terminals C and NO
15. Also, test fuse alarm relay contacts at CB-F alarm terminals.
• Expect continuity (0Ω) between Terminals C and NC
• Expect an open circuit (∞Ω) between Terminals C and NO
16. Repeat Steps 13 and 14 to power up Side B. A PWR and B PWR LEDs must both be green.
17. Make sure input power is off again before instal ling out put w irin g to this devic e.
18. For output wiring, crimp dual-hole lugs onto one end of #10 to #2/0 AWG copper output wires, as required by NEC.
(Work with one output wire at a time.)
20. Clean the panel terminal and lugs with non-abrasive, non-metallic pad.
21. If required, lightly coat antioxidant on lugs and output BATT and RTN terminals and then connect lugs to terminals, as
shown in Figure 10. (NEC specifics only one lug and load at each output terminal.) Tighten nuts to no more than 50in./lb. (5.6 N•m), max. Then connect other end of output wire to load.
22. Install circuit breakers or fuses, as shown in Figures 11 and 12.
a. Use screws provided with circuit breaker or fuse
holder to attach cover to breaker or holder. (Use
the cover removed previously for circuit breakers.
The fuse holder requires a cover.)
b. Insert a breaker in the load center frame. (“Line”
is on top. Breaker is “upside down” so ON toggle
is up.) Or, insert holder in load center frame
(“Load” is on top.)
c. Fasten the cover to the load center using the
screw previously removed with the cover in Step 1.
