You Must Follow Approved Safety Procedures
DANGER! Performing the following procedures may expose you to hazards. These procedures should
be performed by qualified technicians familiar with the hazards associated with this type of equipment.
These hazards may include shock, energy, and/or burns. To avoid these hazards:
a) The tasks should be performed in the order indicated.
b) Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
c) Prior to contacting any uninsulated surface or termination, use a voltmeter to verify that no voltage
or the expected voltage is present. Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters prior to
making contact.
d) Wear eye protection.
e) Use certified and well maintained insulated tools. Use double insulated tools appropriately rated for
the work to be performed.
Voltages
AC Input Voltages
DANGER! This system operates from AC input voltage capable of producing fatal electrical shock. AC
input power must be completely disconnected from the branch circuits wiring used to provide power to
the system before any AC electrical connections are made. Follow local lockout/tagout procedures to
ensure upstream branch circuit breakers remain de-energized during installation. DO NOT apply AC
input power to the system until all electrical connections have been completed and checked.
DC Output and Battery Voltages
DANGER! This system produces DC power and may have a battery source connected to it. Although
the DC voltage is not hazardously high, the rectifiers and/or battery can deliver large amounts of current.
Exercise extreme caution not to inadvertently contact or have any tool inadvertently contact an output
terminal or battery terminal or exposed wire connected to an output terminal or battery terminal.
NEVER allow a metal object, such as a tool, to contact more than one termination or battery terminal at a
time, or to simultaneously contact a termination or battery terminal and a grounded object. Even a
momentary short circuit can cause sparking, explosion, and injury.

Specific Safety Precautions
DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, GENERAL
All ground connections must be installed and verified prior to connecting any power cables (AC or DC)
and turning-up of enclosure.
When connecting any discrete power connection, make the connection first with the ground/return and
break last with ground/return.
Do not install equipment showing any physical damage.
DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AC
Proper actions, include, but not limited to:
a) Verify before contacting the enclosure that no current leakage or ground fault condition is present.
b) Verify a proper ground is in place.
c) Verify for AC hook-up, all enclosure circuit breakers are OFF and the utility incoming feed is OFF.
Use a trained licensed electrician.
DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The DC bus is powered by DUAL power sources – Rectifiers and DC Batteries.
To properly work on the system, de-energize by disconnecting BOTH power sources. Even with the
batteries turned off by using a local battery (circuit breaker) disconnect, batteries are still “LIVE” and
hazardous, including a voltage >50 VDC, and a source of high short circuit current.
Use extreme caution around the batteries and terminals.
Do not smoke.
DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OSP CABLES
If joint buried cables are used, check the cable sheath for voltage in accordance with local standards. If
voltage is detected, do not proceed with the installation. Contact the supervisor and do not proceed
until the voltage hazard is eliminated.
DANGER! RISK OF CHEMICAL EXPOSURE
A battery can present harmful chemicals. Refer to the Battery Installation Manuals and MSDS supplied
with the batteries. Work in a ventilated area and follow all safety procedures.
At a minimum, wear safety glasses and gloves when working with batteries.

Wire Pair Identification
The feeder (in) and distribution (out) pairs are identified separately on the face of the enclosure blocks by color
code. The binding posts or IDC clips are given terminal pair identification, starting with one and proceeding to
the last pair number for that particular type of pair. Therefore, each has a feeder (in-green) pair number one
and a distribution (out-blue) pair number one, etc. Terminal blocks are numbered horizontally (EXAMPLE: Row
1, pairs 1-5; row 2, pairs 6-10; on RLS: Row 1, pairs 1-10; etc.).
Feeder Pairs
All standard pole-mounted cross-connect enclosures of 600 pairs and larger are configured for a feeder to
distribution ratio of 1 to 2. Engineering design may dictate different counts. Feeder pairs are located in the left
column for 100-pair to 400-pair enclosures; in the center column for 600-pair to 900-pair enclosures and in the
two center columns for 1200-pair to 2700-pair enclosures. Refer to Figure 4.
