Installation and Setup
Environmental Requirements
You must meet these environmental requirements for a PS6500 array:
•
Only operate an enclosure from a power source with a voltage range of 100 to
240 VAC.
•
Make sure your power source has sufficient electrical overload protection.
•
In North America, connect the enclosure to a source of power with over-
current protection provided by a double pole 20A or less (LISTED circuit
breaker to UL489). In Europe, the over-current protection must be provided
by 20A or less (IEC circuit breakers).
•
Make sure there is sufficient space for air flow in front of and behind the array
and make sure that the location is properly vented.
•
Review the technical specifications inTable 2-6 to make sure your
environment supports its requirements.
