Preparing Your Site for Installation
Preparing Your Site for Installation
This section describes the requirements that your site must meet for safe installation and operation of
your ACS SE. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.
Environmental
When planning your site layout and equipment locations, remember the precautions described in this
section to help avoid equipment failures and reduce the possibility of environmentally caused
shutdowns. If you are experiencing shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment,
these precautions will help you to isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems.
Use the following precautions when planning the operating environment for your ACS SE:
• Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described in Preventing EMI, page 2-5, to avoid
damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment
failure.
• Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis allows cooling air to flow effectively within it.
An open chassis allows air leaks, which could interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from
internal components.
• Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool
equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room
in which you operate has adequate air circulation.
Choosing a Site for Installation
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where
access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or
other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
For optimal installation, choose a site:
• With a dry, clean, well-ventilated and air-conditioned area.
• That maintains an ambient temperature of 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F).
Grounding the System
Warning Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed
ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are
uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
