install them.
• Place the components in a protected area that has adequate airflow and is free of humidity, flammable gas,
and corrosion.
• You need at least two people to install the hardware. Use proper lifting and carrying techniques when
unpacking and moving the components.
• Make sure each FS7500 Controller is fully grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge.
• When handling an FS7500 Controller, use the electrostatic wrist guard shipped with the controller or a
similar form of protection. See

chassis. This could cause electric shock. Do not install the chassis and power modules until both the inside
and outside of the chassis are dry.
• Always connect the BPS battery packs to the chassis before connecting the input power cables.
• Both the 120V (LV) and the 230V (HV) power modules have IEC 320 C13 output receptacles. Make sure to
use power cables rated for the correct input power source rating. The rating is on a label next to the input
connector on the power module rear panel.
