Enclosure Installation

5.1

Site Considerations

The information in this section is intended as a guideline only; there may be site-specific
requirements and other factors that will require individual attention, such as jurisdictional codes
and construction covenants.

5.1.1

Site Selection

The supporting structure must be designed to support a fully configured enclosure. This will require a concrete
slab and any existing structures to be properly reinforced to support the floor loading. In addition, the mounting
site must be designed and installed in accordance with local building practices and codes.

Site consideration should include the following:

x Areas that may receive hot air exhaust from neighboring buildings or structures should be avoided.

x Any areas with architectural controls or environmental restrictions should be known.

x Areas prone to flooding should be avoided.

x A proper grounding system. See next section.

5.1.2

Enclosure Support

A supporting structure (slab, roof top, etc. with a minimum loading capacity of up to 475 lb./sq.ft.) is required to
support a fully loaded enclosure (rectifiers, batteries, air conditioning, etc.).

5.2

Enclosure Preparation

Remove the protective covering from the enclosure.

NOTE: Inspect the packing slip to verify that all equipment is there.

If batteries are on a separate pallet, they should not be installed until after the enclosure has been secured. If the
batteries are going to be placed within the enclosure, the inter-unit connectors must be installed.

Inspect moving parts, hardware, connectors, and installed equipment.

NOTE: In case of damage, report it according to procedure.

Remove and properly dispose of all packaging.

5.3

Lifting Preparation

CAUTION
All local safety practices and guidelines must be followed while lifting the enclosure.

Do not lift enclosure with batteries installed.

All personnel involved with lifting and placing the enclosure should wear head and eye protection
and gloves when required.

Only properly trained and certified personnel should operate the forklift. The forklift should have a
rated lifting capacity of 907 kg (2000 lb.) with a minimum fork length of 762mm (30”).
