ASTAT-XT RVSS PANEL
INSTALLATION Determine conduit entry and exit locations on the enclosure before mounting.
See the appropriate Outline drawing for recommended conduit locations.
Allow for input and output power wiring to be located in separate conduit.
No conduit holes are provided in the enclosure except knockouts for Type-1
Enclosures; therefore the customer must install all conduit holes. Place a
protective covering over the components of the panel while installing the
conduit holes to prevent metal shavings or chips from landing on part or
electronic boards.
For NEMA 12 and 3R enclosure types, liquid tight conduit (UL listed rain tight
conduit hubs) and fittings must be installed to maintain the enclosure
integrity.

Each panel contains a grounding lug with provisions for connecting a field-
grounding conductor.
All field wiring shall be copper and have a minimum insulation rating of 75

C
(167


Size grounding conductors according to local and national codes.
Grounding methods must comply to local and national codes.
POWER WIRE
(Greater than 120 VAC)
All field wiring shall be copper and have a minimum insulation rating of 75
