100. Installation 100.1 General Installation Requirements CAUTION: LiteGear cabinets are very heavy. Check to assure that the chosen location is capable of safely bearing the load. Cabinet Size: 18.375” W x 10.2” H x 8.25” D (46.6cm W x 25.9cm H x 21cm D) Weight (including batteries): 70 lbs. Install the LiteGear inverter system in a clean, cool, dry place with normal ventilation for human habitation. LiteGear inverter systems are UL Listed for 20°C to 30°C (+68°F to +86°F) operation.
Be sure to follow all federal, state, and local codes as it pertains to emergency circuit raceways. For surface and recessed models reinstall the electronics plate and securely tighten the four mounting nuts. For recessed mount models, adjust the trim plate to fit flush to the finished wall or ceiling surface. Adjust the LED/Test Switch bracket to be flush with the cover when installed. Connect the LEDs to the printed circuit board ensuring the connectors are properly aligned.
101.3 AC Input Voltage Selection The battery charger transformer has two input leads: black = 120VAC orange = 277VAC Select proper AC input lead for the application. Refer to Fig. 101-2. For 120VAC input: • Black – Connect to FT2 • Orange – Remove “push on” connector and cap off using appropriate mechanical connector OR For 277VAC input: • Orange – Connect to FT1 • Black - Remove “push on” connector and cap off using appropriate mechanical connector 102. Load Configuration Wiring Options 102.1 Fig.
• Connect switched 277VAC power to the 277V input connection of the input terminal block (pins not numbered). Connect utility and load wires to appropriate terminal blocks and ensure the input, output, and chassis are grounded. Once all the electrical and conduit connections have been made and are secure, turn the electronics module back to its original orientation and reinstall the four screws through the side wall into the module. Be careful not to pinch any wires between the module and the cabinet.
103.3 Battery Installation Procedure Place the batteries into the cabinet as shown in Figure 103-1. Connect one end of the provided gray wire to the Negative Terminal (-) of battery 1 to the Positive Terminal (+) of battery 2. Connect the red wire from the electronic module to the Positive Terminal (+) of battery 1, and connect the blue wire to the Negative Terminal (-) of battery 2. )LJ 93031263_A CAUTION: Be careful to follow the bolt orientation shown in Figure 103-2.
103.4 Electronics Cabinet Voltage Check Using a voltmeter, check for correct nominal battery voltage between battery NEG and POS wires. Voltage reading should be 24 VDC ±10% of system DC voltage. CAUTION: Ensure all connections are fully engaged. Failure to do so may create an unsafe condition or fire hazard. 104. Final Installation Checklist 104.1 Pre-Start-Up Systems Check Complete the following: • Ensure the LiteGear Inverter cabinet is securely fastened to a wall or other structure.
