Installing the PGP-60 or PGP-20
These products may require a licensed electrician to be involved.
Don’t be disappointed if your local building inspector doesn’t care
to hear how many racks you’ve wired, or that you toured with KISS.
Furman cannot take responsibility for improperly installed or wired
products, and is giving you due warning to do it right and be safe.
1. Choose an adequately sized junction box before
beginning. Depending on your application, we suggest the Furman
PGP-S, or other models of 8'' x 8'' x 4'' in size or similar from such
manufacturers as Milbank, Thomas and Betts, Wiegmann, and
others too numerous to mention. The PlugLock-PRO provides an
opening for a 3/4'' nipple. To facilitate a neat and professional job, the
shortest nipple practical will be the best choice. Our decision on
wire lengths should be adequate once installed to the junction box.
Carefully plan your installation, paying particular attention to the
locations of internal frame members in your rack. In addition,
be sure that your junction box will allow the PlugLock-PRO to be
mounted flush to the rack surface. If this is an issue, we’ve found that
an offset nipple works well to get the surfaces in the same mounting
plane (Thomas and Betts Model HO222 works well).
2. Before mounting the PGP, you must remove its endplate (the
wired end) to mount the appropriate nipple and to feed the wires
from the outlets through it. Remove three panhead phillips screws
from the top and side surfaces, and one flathead phillips screw from
the mounting surface side. Pull the wires out of the end plate and
remove the plastic bushing that protects the wires. Slip the locknut for
the nipple over the wires, the wires through the endplate, and feed
one group of wires (3 wires) at a time through the nipple to avoid a
logjam due to the wire markers that are attached to each group. Once
all wires are through the nipple, tighten nipple and locknut as securely
as possible without perforating a finger. Reinstall the endplate.
3. Mount the junction box to the rack or to the PGP first,
depending on your particular installation. Finally, attach the PGP to
the rack members and wire the circuits to the incoming power wires,
being sure to use the proper size wire nuts.
IMPORTANT: Remember that the “extra” green wire connects to the
chassis of the PGP, and needs to be bonded to the incoming ground
wire from the main service panel.
4. Test each outlet in each circuit for continuity, proper voltage
under load, and proper phasing. Call, mail, or e-mail us with
descriptions and photos of your install, and we’ll share them (and your
name) with the industry, and on our website.
Thanks for using Furman!
