Safety
Product Labeling
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. Some of the safety symbols used with the CP3500 rectifier and this shelf
may include the following. They may also be accompanied by instructions:
Mounting and Installation
• This product shall be installed in compliance with mounting requirements for the ultimate application.
• This product must be installed, serviced, and operated only by skilled and qualified personnel who have the necessary knowledge
and practical experience with electrical equipment and who understand the hazards that can arise when working on this type of
equipment. This product is intended for use in a Restricted Access Location.
• This equipment is to be used in controlled environments (an area where the humidity is maintained at levels that cannot cause
condensation on the equipment, the contaminating dust is controlled, and the steady-state ambient temperature is within the range
specified).
• This equipment has been evaluated for use in a continuous ambient temperature of:
a. 50°C at full load with a split DC output feed setup with 2%/°C de-rating from 50°C to 75°C at low range and 2.3%/°C de-
rating from 50°C to 75°C at high range.
b. 44°C at full load with a single DC output feed setup with 1.6%/°C de-rating from 44°C to 75°C for low range and 1.8%/°C
de-rating from 50°C to 75°C for high range.
• The CE mark if provided on the product is applied to show conformance to the requirements outlined in the European Union’s Low
Voltage Directive {2006/95/EC} and EMC Directive {2004/108/EC}.
• The internal AC-DC rectifier connectors have been evaluated for hot swapping. The four main AC input feed Mate-N-Lok connectors
at the rear of the shelf have not been evaluated for hot swapping.
• A separate protective Earthing terminal is provided at the rear of the shelf
– the building installation shall provide a means for connection to protective earth; and
– the equipment is to be connected to that means; and
Output Connections
• All field wiring should comply with the U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or applicable local codes/standards.
• Routing of the DC output cables should guarantee that cables are not in contact with sources of heat and surfaces that may
damage the cable insulation.
• The DC output is not provided with a fuse or circuit breaker suitable for branch circuit protection. Therefore, the power shelf should
be mounted in the same rack or cabinet as the equipment being powered. Use interconnecting power cables suitable for the
application and sized to carry the rated output current. The interconnecting cables should be capable of carrying the overload
current and short circuit current without damage or risk of fire.
• The output for the system is SELV and has available power greater than 240VA.
• Insulation on output field-wired conductors should be rated no less than 90°C. Wiring internal to enclosed equipment cabinets
should be rated at 105°C (minimum). The provided DC output cords (red and black wires) are rated for 105°C.
• Before opening the insulating cover to gain access to load and ground connections, ensure all power supplies are disconnected from
the AC MAINS.
AC Input Connections
• This shelf is configured with primary internal wiring and Molex connectors, rated for internal factory wiring only. The Molex
connector is not UL Recognized for direct connection to the AC mains. The internal wiring is not UL recognized to be directly
accessible by a user. Consideration should be taken on the end product’s Listing to comply with NEC requirement for AC mains
installations.
The subject equipment was evaluated for use with a maximum 30A branch circuit per feed. Consideration shall be taken in the end-
product evaluation in the sizing of conductors per Annex NAE s.c. 3.3.4. If used on a branch circuit greater than this, additional
testing may be necessary.
