4 Installation
This chapter is provided for qualified personnel to install the product, which shall be mounted in a clean and dry
environment.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to foldout drawings located at the rear of the manual.
4.1 Safety
Precautions
WARNING
Hazardous voltages are present at both the input and the output of power systems. The DC output
from the rectifiers and the battery system is at a lethal potential and has a high short circuit
current capacity that may cause electrocution, severe burns and electrical arcing.
Before working with any live battery or power system/distribution center, follow these precautions:
• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during installation.
The installer should follow all applicable local rules and regulations for electrical and battery installations; e.g.,
CSA, UL, CEC, NEC, OSHA, and local fire codes.
Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools.
4.2 Shelf
Preparation/Mounting
NOTE: The CXC shall be mounted in a clean and dry environment.
4.2.1 Panel
Mount
The CXCP panel mount or “door” version mounts inside an Argus integrated distribution center. The preparation
and mounting are done at the factory.
4.2.2 Rack
Mount
The CXCR rack mount model fits horizontally in a 19” or 23” rack. The CXCR should be mounted to the rack
using two #12 – 24 x 1/2” screws in each bracket. Philips-type screws and screwdriver should be used to
eliminate the possibility of slippage and scratching of the unit’s exterior. Washers (such as internal tooth) or
special screws that are designed to cut through the painted surface should be used to ensure a good chassis
ground.
Consult the drawings located at the rear of this manual and proceed to the next section for wiring connections.
