    							2.0 Understanding System Grounding Requirements
    Transient voltage spikes, if induced onto CO or CENTREX lines, can travel through the cable and into the
    common equipment. The telephone company offers basic protection against this condition but it is usually
    designed to protect the central office circuits. While it will also provide some protection to the common
    equipment, you should not rely upon it for total protection. To help ensure that external over-voltage surges do not
    damage the system, you should install and properly ground primary protection devices, such as gas discharge
    tubes or similar primary protection devices, on all lines. While the line boards have internal secondary surge
    protection on all line ports, in order for this protection to be effective, youMUSTconnect the common equipment
    cabinet to a reliable, effective earth ground.
    Proper grounding is necessary for trouble-free operation and personnel safety. The DXPPlushas the following
    three types of grounds:
    ·Service Ground —a neutral power line wire that is connected to the ground bus in the premises’ AC power
    panel,
    ·System Ground—a non-current carrying power line wire that is connected to the ground bus in the premises’
    AC power panel,
    ·Frame Ground—a low impedence conductor that places the common equipment cabinet at reference ground
    potential. The frame ground provides the greatest safety by limiting electrical potential between non-current
    carrying parts of the system. The common equipment cabinet provides a ground stud on its cabinet for access to
    its frame ground.
    The entire system is effectively earth-grounded when you permanently connect the common equipment cabinet,
    all expansion cabinets, and the battery back-up assembly to earth or to some conducting body which serves in
    place of earth.  The ground path must be of sufficient current-carrying capacity to prevent a build up of voltages
    which may result in circuit noise, hazard to personnel, or equipment damage.
    An acceptable earth ground is one such as the service ground for the AC power or a public metallic cold water
    pipe at a point immediately at its entrance to the premises and ahead of any meters, pumps, or insulating sections
    that have been added for vibration reduction. Avoid using the premises’ structural steel frame as it may not be at
    earth ground potential. Use #10–12 or larger insulated solid copper grounding wire to connect the frame ground of
    the battery assembly cabinet (available through the ground stud on the cabinet’s side) to the frame ground of the
    main common equipment cabinet. Use #6 or larger insulated solid copper grounding wire to make the ground
    connection from the main cabinet’s frame ground to earth ground.Keep this ground wire separate from the
    three-wire AC line cord, do not splice it, and keep it as short as possible.
    The impedence of the wiring between the common equipment cabinet frame ground and the earth ground must not
    exceed 0.25 ohms and the impedence between the earth ground and the power company’s reference standard
    ground must not exceed 5 ohms. Use an acceptable low impedence measuring device to measure the impedence of
    these paths. The #6 or larger wire size will minimize the wiring impedence; however, if the impedence between
    earth ground and the power company’s standard reference ground exceeds 5 ohms, contact the local power
    company. The ground path must always be of sufficient current-carrying capacity to prevent a build up of voltages
    that may result in circuit noise, hazard to personnel, or equipment damage.
    Be sure that all of the ground connections are visible for inspection and maintenance. Tag all of the ground
    connections with a sign that reads:Do Not Remove or Disconnect.

    							3.0 Matching The Source Voltage
    The factory ships the switchable battery back up charger assembly set for 230 VAC operation. If you plan to
    operate the charger from a 120 VAC source, you must set the voltage selection switch for that input. The switch is
    located at the lower left edge of the charger chassis. Slide the switch actuator to the setting that matches the AC
    source voltage available at the installation site.

    							4.0 Installing The AC Power Plug
    The charger assembly’s line cord is terminated with a typical continental European plug matching the CEE 7/7
    standard. If this plug does not meet the site needs, you can install a plug of the proper type for your installation.
    To install a line cord plug,
    ·familiarize yourself with the requirements for the plug that you plan to install on the unterminated line cord (the
    illustration shows a typical continental European plug matching the CEE 7 standard),
    ·strip off the insulation from the line cord wires according to the requirements for your plug,
    ·open the plug and slide its outer shell onto the line cord,
    ·connect the ground, neutral, and line wires according to the requirements for your plug,
    ·if your plug includes a clamp, tighten it on the line cord,
    ·reassemble the plug,
    Test the installation for open and short circuits using an ohm meter.

    							2.0 Mounting The Charger Chassis
    You must mount the charger chassis to the battery cabinet; however, the particular position that you chose for this
    mounting depends upon the method that you plan to mount the cabinet at the DXPPlussite.
    ·If you plan to mount the battery cabinet on a backboard at the side of the common equipment cabinets, you
    must attach the charger, with its cables pointing toward you, to the left end of the battery cabinet as you face the
    cabinet’s battery opening.
    ·If you plan to mount the battery cabinet below the main common equipment cabinet on the same backboard
    (single common equipment cabinet installations), you must attach the charger, with its cables pointing toward
    you, to the right end of the battery cabinet as you face the cabinet’s battery opening.
    ·If you plan to mount the battery cabinet on the back side of a standard 23–inch double equipment rack with the
    common equipment cabinets mounted to the front side of the rack, you must attach the charger, with its cables
    pointing away from you, to the to the left end of the battery cabinet as you face the cabinet’s battery opening.
    To mount the charger chassis,
    1. Choose the method of battery cabinet mounting, and orient the charger so that it is facing properly for the
    mounting scheme.
    2. Remove the front panel from the empty battery cabinet, and save the retaining hardware.
    3. Remove the wiring access plate from the end of the battery cabinet.
    4. Route the black battery connection wires through the wiring access hole.
    5. Attach the charger chassis to the battery cabinet with the three supplied screws.

    							3.0 Mounting The Battery Cabinet.
    CAUTION
    The complete battery back up assembly is heavy. The charger chassis, empty battery cabinet, and wiring
    weigh approximately 25 pounds and all the batteries together weigh approximately 130 pounds for a
    combined assembly hanging weight of approximately 155 pounds.
    You can mount the battery cabinet at several different locations.
    ·You can mount the battery cabinet on a separate backboard located to the right of the common equipment
    cabinet location. Locate the battery cabinet as detailed in the illustration on the facing page.
    ·At sites that employ only a main equipment cabinet, you can mount the battery cabinet directly below the main
    common equipment cabinet on the same backboard.
    ·You can mount the battery cabinet in the middle of a standard 23–inch equipment rack if you wish. This can be
    a companion rack set next to the one where you have mounted the DXPPluscabinets. Alternately, you can use
    a self-supporting, two-sided rack with the DXPPluscabinets mounted on one side and the battery cabinet
    mounted on the other side directly behind and slightly above the main common equipment.
    Remember from theSection 2.0discussion, you must attach the charger chassis to the battery cabinet in a
    orientation that supports the cabinet mounting.
    NOTE: The following instructions describe how to mount the battery cabinet using a backboard.
    1. Add a second backboard to the right of the backboard that supports the DXPPluscommon equipment cabinet.
    Be sure that this backboard bridges the studs that support the underlying wall material. Securely attach the
    backboard to the mounting surface. (Suitable backboards are available commercially or you can construct one
    out of 3/4-inch plywood.) You must drive the hardware that secures the backboard to the mounting surface
    into the underlying wall studs instead of just into the wall material alone.
    2. Refer to the illustration for the locating dimensions required for the mounting screws, and mark their locations
    on the backboard. You must attach the cabinet vertically to the backboard.
    3. Drill holes in the backboard of a proper size to accommodate the hardware being used.
    4. Insert the two top screws into the backboard and tighten them to within approximately 1/8–inch of the surface.
    5. Hang the cabinet on the top screws using the top mounting holes in the rear mounting flange of the cabinet.
    Note that these holes are elongated with an enlargement at one end. This feature allows the cabinet to slide
    down on the screws to secure the mounting when the cabinet is hung on them.
    6. Use the openings for the middle and lower set of mounting screws as a guide, and mark the location for the
    remaining screws.
    7. Lift the cabinet from the top screws and set it aside while preparing the holes for the remaining screws.
    8. Rehang the cabinet as discussed in step 6.
    9. Insert the lower screws into the backboard and tighten them to within approximately 1/8-inch of the surface.
