Verify Conformance to Clearance Specifications
Make sure that the selected location provides enough space to accommo-
date the BCU minimum clearances (see Figure 5 on page 18). The clear-
ances are for ventilation, electrical conduit access, and sufficient human
access for the installing contractor, operator, and service technician:
• The top clearance allows for ventilation and entry of conduit for the
120 Vac power supply, low-voltage communications links, and
input/output wiring.
• The bottom clearance allows for the alternate entry of conduit for low-
voltage communication links and input/output wiring. It also allows
for ease of access while making wiring connections. In addition, the
bottom clearance specifies the optimum mounting height for BCUs
with operator displays.
• The left clearance allows for the alternate entry of conduit for the
120 Vac power entry.
• The right clearance allows for entry of conduit for low-voltage commu-
nication links and input/output wiring.
• The front clearance allows for operation and service access.
