3.1 Component Placement

3.1.1 Power Supply
The Power Supply should be lifted by a forklift, pallet jack or crane. In order to
prevent damaging the Power Supply when lifting with a forklift or pallet jack, the
forks should be of adequate length to protrude on the far side of the Power Supply. If
lifting by lifting eye, ensure the following:
 Material handling equipment must comply with local and national laws and
regulations. The personnel involved in the move must be properly trained and
qualified to use such equipment.
 All Power Supply covers must be securely installed.
 Lift slowly -not more than 8 in. (203.2mm) high- to ensure even weight
distribution.
 Move slowly to prevent uncontrollable acceleration/deceleration.
The proper location of the Power Supply will provide dependable service and reduce
periodic maintenance time. Choose a location that will provide unrestricted air
movement into and out of the Power Supply. Maintain at least 24 in. (609.6mm) of
space on all sides of the unit.
The Power Supply is IP23 rated for use in an outdoor environment. The Power
Supply is not suitable for use in rain or snow. It should not be subjected to falling
water during use nor should any parts of it be submerged in water or snow. Doing so
may cause improper operation as well as pose a safety hazard. The best practice is
to keep it in a dry, sheltered area.
Do not mount the Power Supply over a combustible surface. Where there is a
combustible surface directly under stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that
surface shall be covered with a steel plate at least .060" (1.6mm) thick, which shall
extend not less than 5.90" (150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.
The surface on which the Power Supply is located should have a grade of no greater
than 10° to eliminate the risk of toppling over.
For a standard installation, the maximum distance between the Power Supply and
Gas Controller is 75 ft. (22.8m). Refer to Appendix C for longer lengths.
