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 drawings located at the rear of this 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, the following precautions should be
followed:
• 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.
Insulated metallic tools shall be used.
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.
4.2 Tools Required
Various insulated tools are essential for product installation. Use this list as a guide:
• Slot head screwdriver (blade size 1/8”)
• Philips head screwdriver, #2 (tip size 3/16”)
• Philips head screwdriver, #1
• Anti-static wrist strap
• Safety glasses
• Cutters and wire strippers 2.5 to 0.34mm
2 (#14 to #22 AWG)
• Digital voltmeter equipped with test leads.
4.3 Preparation/Mounting
NOTE: The SD08 must be mounted in a clean and dry environment.
4.3.1 Rack Mount
The SD08 Battery Fail Monitor has been designed for flush mounting in an EIA standard single RU relay rack
panel.
The SD08, 19” or 23” unit, 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.
4.3.2 Wall Mount
The stand-alone battery fail monitor module can be mounted with the wall mounting holes in the rear of the
chassis. To use these holes, remove the front plate (two screws on the front of the panel). See drawing 018-546-
06, sheet 3.
Consult the drawings located at the rear of this manual and proceed to the next chapter for wiring connections.
