  • Page 7 Bond the panel chassis to the rack system ground, connecting a ground wire with ring tongue to the front panel ground stud. (1/4-20 thread) Connect Bus A loads to output channels A1 to A4 using suitably rated wire sized for the breaker installed on the channel, with crimped on spade lug terminals compatible with the output terminal block screws.
  • Page 8 Refer to the Web Based Interface section for information on how to configure and use the four Site Alarm inputs. Connect an optional ICT external temperature sensor (ICT-TMP) to the two TMP inputs if you need to remotely monitor the temperature of a battery pack or enclosure.
  • Page 9: Operation

    Connect a standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 LAN port on the front panel to remotely monitor, control and reconfigure the panel settings from a remote computer. OPERATION Ensure the correct circuit breakers are installed in each channel location that will be used to power a load.
