SECTION 3 INSTALLATION
3.1 LOCATION
A proper installation site is necessary for the power source to provide dependable service. A proper installation site permits
freedom of air movement through the unit while minimizing exposure to dust, dirt, moisture, and corrosive vapors. A mini-
mum of 18 inches (46 cm) is required between the side and rear panels of the power source and the nearest obstruction.
The selected site should also allow easy removal of the power source outer enclosure for maintenance. See Table 2-1 for
overall dimensions of the unit.
3.2 RECEIVING, UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT
A. Immediately upon receipt of the power source, inspect for damage which may have occurred in transit. Notify the
carrier of any defects or damage.
B. Remove the power source from the container. Remove all packing materials. Check the container for any loose
parts.
C. Check air passages at front and rear of cabinet, making sure that no packing materials that may obstruct air flow
through the power source.
D. Install the lifting ring furnished with the power sources into the top of the unit.
E. After selecting an installation site, place the power source in the desired location. The unit may be lifted either
by using the lifting ring or by forklift truck. If a forklift is used for lifting the unit, be sure that the lift forks are long
enough to extend completely under the base.
Do not use filters on this unit as they would restrict the volume of
intake air required for proper cooling. Output ratings on this unit are
based on an unobstructed supply of cooling air drawn over its internal
components. Warranty is void if any type of filtering device is used.
CAUTION
CAUTION
For lifting purposes and for keeping dust, moisture, and other for-
eign material from entering the power source, the lifting eyebolt
must be fully tightened with a tool.
