WARNING
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS DEVICE MAY EXPOSE HAZARDOUS
VOLTAGES. REFER TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
The INV 2500 series inverters are designed to be installed in a standard 19" relay
rack or EIA type enclosure. The front panel has a set of “ears” provided for this
purpose. The mounting holes are designed to conform to EIA rack standards.
Mount the unit in a suitable location as not to block the flow of cooling air at the front,
rear, and sides of the inverter chassis. This device will pull in cool air from the front
and sides and exhaust warm air from the rear. It is recommended that a minimum
clearance of 3 inches be provided at the front and rear and 1 to 2 inches on the
sides. Enclosures must be vented.
When rack mounting,
DO NOT
mount the inverter by the mounting ears only. If
the unit is intended for use in a mobile or other high vibration application the use
of additional support for the rear of the chassis is mandatory.
2.2 WIRING
Wiring to the inverter will vary depending on input voltage and any options ordered.
In addition local electrical codes must be considered for permanent installations. The
NEC (National Electrical Code) requires that separately derived AC sources such as
back-up generators, inverters, etc., must have one output conductor tied to a
protective earth. This may be accomplished with the 2500 series by following the
recommended hook up diagrams provided here.
!
WARNING
ALL INSTALLATIONS AND VERSIONS OF THIS DEVICE REQUIRE THE USE OF
THE SAFETY EARTH CONNECTION TO THE CHASSIS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
CREATE A SHOCK HAZARD. THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT PRODUCED BY THIS
UNIT CAN BE LETHAL.
