The Alpha FXM is suitable for installations in network telecommunication facilities and locations where the Na-
tional Electrical Code applies.
Grounding: The Alpha FXM is suitable both for installation as part of a common bonding network and an iso-
lated bonding network.
For installations above 1400 m (4500 ft) elevation, additional cooling may be needed to reduce the operating
temperature of the Alpha FXM. The maximum allowable operating temperature must be reduced by 2°C for
every 300 m (1000 ft) above 1400 m (4500 ft).
3.1 Safety Precautions
• Install the Alpha FXM on a surface that can support its weight. See "Specifications".
• The input wiring must reach a suitably grounded power outlet and the load wiring must reach the
Alpha FXM’s output terminal blocks.
• The Alpha FXM should be placed at a properly sheltered location or inside a weather-proof enclosure to
protect the electronics from water, dust and other possible contamination.
• Alpha Technologies offers a wide range of outdoor enclosure systems. Visit our website at www.alpha.ca,
or call customer service for more information.
