Mounting Location

The 5400 series converter is designed for indoor use only! Do not mount in

engine compartment or other harsh environments; avoid areas where high levels of

dust, dirt, or moisture may occur.

The Parallax 5400 series power converter is of solid state design and does not

contain relays or mechanical devices that produce arcs or sparks, but in the unlikely

event that an electronic component would fail, Parallax does not recommend mounting

the power converter in battery compartments or in areas where flammable materials

are stored.

In order to minimize radio and T.V. interference, avoid routing supply and output

wiring across fan intake or adjacent to ventilation slots of the converter.

The 5400 series converters require horizontal mounting. Do not mount vertically or

upside down. Allow adequate ventilation for fan intake and exhaust. Mount the 5400

series converter utilizing the mounting holes in the front and rear flanges and using

fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface.

Connect to a 120VAC 60HZ 3-wire grounded supply with no larger than 20 ampere

circuit protection.

Provide a minimum of three inches on all sides of the converter. Do not mount in

zero clearance compartments; overheating and thermal shut down will result.
