Electrical Requirements

WARNING: The DC power source providing power to the MTS must be compliant with

requirements specified for a safety extra low voltage circuit (SELV) per EN60950.

WARNING: Any device (that is power supply) providing isolation between the AC mains and the

MTS must provide reinforced insulation to hazardous voltages.

CAUTION: All electrical wiring for the MTS site must meet the requirements of all applicable

local codes and regulations.

CAUTION: The battery installation needs a short circuit protection closest to the batteries.

Install the batteries in the same building and provide proper ventilation.
