6 INSTALLATION AND WIRING

6.1 Mounting

The FP-5000 is shipped with the Outer Enclosure assembled with a
backing plate between the enclosure housing box and the front
latching frame. This factory assembled outer chassis allows for
panel thickness variations, minor panel distortions and has relaxed
panel cutout tolerance requirements for easy faster panel mounting.
The panel footprint outline is equivalent to the Cutler-Hammer
DT3XXX and MP3XXX draw-out designs. However it differs from
most Cutler-Hammer IQ style panel mounts in that:
Figure 6-1. Panel Cutout and Mounting Holes
Effective June, 2001
• The panel cut-out is slightly larger.
• The enclosure is mounted from the front user side of the panel.
• Four mounting studs/nuts are used for panel mounting.
The following paragraphs describe the mounting of the
FP-5000 relay.
Mount the unit vertically on a flat panel. The location should be as
free as possible of water, chemicals, dust, and excessive heat and
vibration. The panel should protect the user from accidental contact
with live terminals on the back of the FP-5000. A 1/8 inch steel
panel or door, solidly grounded, is recommended.
