An IPS is typically shipped with the following items packed on a single shipping pallet: (a) two, 12 volt, Gel type
batteries (31 AH for an IPS-400 or 55 AH for an IPS-800; and (b) the IPS cabinet with the appropriate electronics, as
ordered. If a radio receiver/transceiver was ordered as part of the system, an antenna may be included on the pallet. For
multiple-system purchases, pallets may be shipped carrying multiple IPS cabinets, for example, while other pallets may
contain antennas and batteries. Speakers are commonly packaged together and sent simultaneously with the system.
Before shipment, each IPS has been pre-assembled, wired, and tested at the factory. Each IPS is shipped in an upright
fashion. The receiver of any shipment(s) should check each shipment against the purchase order to ensure that a
complete system (as ordered) has been shipped.

flanges on the top and two mounting flanges on the bottom, as shown in the drawing. The top flanges have two
7/16" holes and the bottom flanges have two 7/16" slots, in order to accommodate 3/8" hardware. The holes are
on 14" centers.
