3 g (g = 9.81 m/s ) for all modes of transport (overland, railway, sea and air). The vibration resistance of the EPAC 3100/3500 is in conformance with the response curve defined by the IEEE Seismic Testing of Relays standard.
EPAC 3100/3500 GI 1.6882 1.2. STORAGE ON SITE OR IN A WAREHOUSE 1.2.1 Normal Storage Conditions While the equipment is stored on site, it must be kept in its original packing. The cardboard box must be put on a pallet so that it does not absorb any humidity from the ground.
Remove the packing blocks and put the EPAC on a table with the assembly kit and documents. Put the packing blocks back into the box. If the EPAC 3100/3500 is to be temporarily used on site, keep the packing and re-use it to repack the equipment. However, if the EPAC 3100/3500 is installed definitively,...

GI 1.6882 EPAC 3100/3500 2.2. REPACKING Procedure: Repeat the unpacking procedures in reverse order. Put installer guide in a plastic bag. Install the superior-hand and inferior-hand packing blocks on the rack. Put the assembly in the cardboard box. Put the plastic bags containing the documents and connection kit connectors on the packed rack.
GI 1.6882 EPAC 3100/3500 3.1. OVERALL DIMENSION The overall dimensions of the EPAC 3100/3500 depend on whether it is frame- or cabinet- mounted. 304,3 412,50 177,00 Figure 3.1a: Rack dimensions when frame-mounted (EPAC 3100)
3.3. ASSEMBLY The frame-mounted EPAC 3100 is attached with 8 screws at the top and bottom of the front panel, as shown in Figure 3.1c. The cabinet-mounted EPAC 3500 is attached with 4 screws on the left and right of the front panel.
Temperature Range in operation: -20°C to + 55°C Maximum permitted ripple: < 12% Relative Humidity: less than 95% with no condensation The rated value of the auxiliary supply must correspond to the value given on the EPAC 3100/3500 front panel.
3 ohms. Therefore, the distance between the equipment and the real grounding point must be minimized. The grounding braid is connected to the terminal at the rear of the EPAC 3100/3500 rack. It is identified by the ground symbol. The following diagrams show the grounding braid connections for the different EPAC 3100/3500 options.
GI 1.6882 EPAC 3100/3500 5.1. ANALOG INPUT CONNECTIONS The current and voltage inputs are wired to pins 1 to 28 of the X5 connector on the EPAC rear panel as indicated in figure 5.1a. To maintain suitable EMC Electro-Magnetic-Compatibility margins provided with this product, a state-of-art wiring and grounding is required.
