Chapter 2: Installation
Installation Requirements
Mounting hardware supplied for easy installation. When determining the location for mounting, keep in
mind the weight of the unit, available power connections, and access to peripheral equipment necessary
for system operation. If installing a system outdoors, be certain to read the recommendations for outdoor
installation provided elsewhere in this manual.
ESCs require 4 Amps maximum at 120VAC, and 2 Amps maximum at 230VAC. Note that the unit is auto-
sensing between 120VAC and 240 VAC. We recommend using 14-16 AWG wire and a 10-15A
2-pole breaker in providing input power to terminal block.
Systems must be securely mounted to a structure that will hold a weight equal to four times the unit
weight (TS 500 = 66 lbs). The enclosure must have complete vertical and lateral support. It is
recommended that metal framing channels and fittings (such as Unistrut™ or Superstrut™) be used.
Caution! Systems must be installed in a location capable of supporting four times
the unit weight (see above). Failure to choose a suitable structure could cause the
unit to become a hazard to personnel and equipment.
To maintain the shock and vibration resistant features of the systems, pay close attention to the assembly
sequence of the mounting hardware shown in Figure 2.

Rack or Cabinet Mount
If a unit will be mounted in a rack or cabinet, the following requirements must be observed:
1) Verify that there is sufficient airflow for safe operation within the rack or cabinet. Confirm that the
installation will not exceed the maximum ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C) when combined with
other installed equipment.
