Installing and Setting Up the Chassis
This section describes how to set up and install the chassis.
Before setting up the chassis, make sure these items are available:
• Chassis with application modules
• Power cables; 14 or 16 gauge wire for DC power
• Contact wires for the Alarm Relays (optional)
Caution: Equipment intended only for installation in a RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION
accessible only to electrically skilled persons and electrically instructed persons with
the proper authorization.
Follow these steps to install the chassis:
1. Plan the installation, considering these characteristics:
• Place the chassis within 7 ft. (2.134 m) of the power source.
• Plan to use one or more of these locations for the connection to Earth Ground:
• The bonding lug on the rear of the chassis, near the bottom
• The grounding prong on the AC power cord
• The ground of the -48 VDC terminal strip
• The mounting hardware for the rack, if the rack is tied to Earth Ground
• Place the chassis adjacent to other Canoga Perkins or related equipment.
• Allow room for the cable management bracket(s) that channel the cables, allowing slack in the
cables and providing a surface for securing with a tie-wrap.
2. Unpack the chassis, cables, and modules, and inspect all parts for damage and compare them with
the packing list. Set the packaging aside in case you need to return the equipment.
3. Plug the wire from Earth Ground into the lug on the back of the chassis; this connects the chassis
to Earth Ground. See Figure 2.
4. Mount the chassis in a standard 19-inch relay rack, in a 23-inch rack, or on a table top. The
chassis ships with mounting brackets preconfigured for flush mounting in a standard 19-inch
relay rack; you can reposition the brackets as needed.
• For a 19-inch rack, position the chassis in the rack and secure the brackets to the rack with
four screws.
• For a 23-inch rack, remove the mounting screws for the 19-inch mounting brackets and
secure the optional 23-inch mounting bracket with the screws, then position the chassis in the
rack and secure the brackets to the rack with screws.
• For a tabletop, select a flat surface in a secure location, turn the chassis up-side-down and
attach the self-adhesive feet near the four corners of the chassis, then turn the chassis right-
side up and place it on the flat surface.
