  • Page 22: Connect The Ac Mains

    Assembly Connect the AC Mains SHOCK HAZARD. Make sure that the AC mains cables are NOT WARNING connected to the AC mains. Only connect the AC mains cables to the AC mains as the final step in the installation procedure. Install the AC mains cables into the cabinet first - before you install the power supplies or make any other connections.
  • Page 23: Install The Power Supplies

    Assembly Install the Power Supplies Use caution when installing power supplies. Power supplies weigh as much as 78 lbs. (35.5 kg). Two people are CAUTION required when installing power supplies. Because of the unit’s weight, do not lift or move it alone. Moving by hand should be avoided where possible.
  • Page 24: Install The Bus Bars

    Assembly Install the Bus Bars Remove the bus bars from their storage locations High current bus bars weigh up to 28 lbs. (13 kg) each. Use caution CAUTION when lifting and moving the bus bars. Lay them down so that they do not fall.
  • Page 25 Assembly Because of the difference in thickness of the high-current bus bars, use the longer (40 mm) screws to connect the bottom three units. Use the shorter (30 mm) screws to connect the top three units. Once the single screws are installed, install the remaining two screws on each rear terminal.
  • Page 26 Assembly 4. Once all connection screws are installed as shown in the following fugures, tighten the screws according to the following torque settings. • For the high-current bus bars, maximum torque is 9.2 lb-ft (12.4 Nm). • For the high-voltage bus bars, maximum torque is 5.4 lb-ft (7.3 Nm).
  • Page 27: Connect The Ac Input

    Assembly Connect the AC input Connect the closest AC input harness to the unit. Ac input harnesses are connected to circuit breakers on the front of the cabinet. Refer to Switched and Indicators to see the breaker assignment for each AC input harness.
  • Page 28: Connect The Communications Cables

    Assembly Connect the Communications Cables Connect the Sharebus and Group cables 1. Connect the Sharing terminals for parallel operation using the blue sharing cables. This allows current sharing among the units. 2. Install the Group (Master/Slave) cables. These grey CAT5 cables are included in the accessory box shipped with the rack cabinet.
  • Page 29 Assembly Connect the computer interface cable 1. Designate which power supply will be the “master” control unit. You can designate any of the power supplies in the instrument stack as the master control unit. 2. Connect the appropriate computer interface to the power supply that will be the master control unit of the instrument stack.
  • Page 30: Connect The Output Cables

    Assembly Connect the Output Cables SHOCK HAZARD All output connections must be made with the external WARNING system disconnect off, and must be performed by qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved. Improper actions can cause fatal injury as well as equipment damage. Ensure that the insulation rating of the output cables is greater than the voltage rating of the rack system, which may be rated up to 1,500 VDC! Attach the output cables to the attachment bolts provided at the...
