    104. Cabinet Mounting 104.1 Tools Required The following tools are required to install the system: Socket Set, Phillips Screwdriver, Diagonal Wire Cutters, Long Nose Pliers, Electrical Tape, Digital Volt-Ohm Meter, Safety Glasses with Side Shields, Small Punch (knockout removal), Hammer, Elec- tric Drill, Wood or Masonry Bits, Level.
  • Page 7 104.5 Recessed Mount (-R) Models: 1) Remove cover and any packing material inside unit housing that may have been used for shipping purposes. 2) For ease of installation, and to prevent possible damage to the equipment, the inverter/charger assembly may be tempo- rarily removed prior to knockout removal and attachment to mounting surface.
  • Page 8: 105. Ac Connections

    105. AC Connections CAUTION: A) All VST inverter system units contain hazardous AC and DC voltages. Because of these voltages, a qualified electrician must install the VST inverter system, AC line service, and batteries. The electrician must install the AC line service according to local, state and NEC codes and must be familiar with batteries and battery installation.

  • Page 12 AO Option Operation The AO Option is designed for use with the VST Series of inverter power systems. The option will bypass one 0 to 10 volt local dimmer switch as well as allow user-programmable setting of emergency output lighting levels. Two load terminals as well as two dip-switch sets for independent output settings are provided to allow 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of nominal illumination output during power outages.
  • Page 13 4C OPTION OPERATION The inverter power system’s 4C option allows lighting fixtures or other load types on circuits controlled by local switching devices to be easily connected to and powered by the VST system during utility power outages. The 4C option provides four local switching device override circuits which, under emergency mode operating conditions, automatically disconnect the load side of the local control device(s) and connect the selected loads to the inverter output assuring normal operation of connected loads...

    200. Maintenance 200.1 Safe Shut Down Procedure CAUTION: To avoid possible equipment damage or personal injury, assume that there is AC voltage present inside the VST inverter system unit any time AC input power or DC battery voltage is applied. The inverter is capable of providing output voltage from the batteries even when there is no AC input line voltage.
  • Page 18: 200.4 Routine Battery Inspection And Maintenance

    200.4 Routine Battery Inspection and Maintenance Sealed Lead-Calcium Batteries Lead-Calcium cells are the most common type of battery used today in standby equipment. By design it is as maintenance free as a battery can be. It is recommended, however, that some simple steps be taken to increase system life and maximize reliability: A) A quarterly visual check of the batteries should be conducted to look for deformities in the cases and terminal corrosion.
