To ensure long and reliable trouble-free service from the UTX5K ULTRA-2 transmitter the following steps
for installation are recommended:
1.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION: The UTX5K ULTRA-2 was designed to be installed in a building
protected from the weather. The building should have a hard-surface floor such as concrete with a
moisture barrier. This barrier could be pressure-treated wood sub flooring which could be anchored
to the concrete and to the transmitter to make the installation earthquake resistant.
A
llow a minimum of three feet around the transmitter cabinet for service access. The top of the
transmitter should be clear for three feet above to allow the air to exhaust from the transmitter.
A
ir flow thru the transmitter is approximately 2,000 CFM. Provisions for air inlet and exhaust from
the room must allow air flow with minimal obstruction. In the event that the room temperature
exceeds 35º Celsius (95º F), cooling air must be provided so that the room temperature will no
t
exceed 35 degrees Celsius under worse case conditions.
Notice: This equipment is HEAV
Y
and must be handled by professional movers with prope
r
equipment. Any damage caused by the installers is not covered under warranty. Check to ensur
e
that installing crews have proper insurance coverage.
2.
GROUNDING: Transmitter grounding is
V
ERY IMPORTANT and must be done correctly fo
r
safety and operational reasons. A typical installation may be done as follows
:
Use a heavy gauge wire such as #2 AWG stranded copper or solid copper buss one (1) inch wide
by 1/8 inch thick for connections. The bonding between the transmitter and the ground rods mus
t
be good quality and protected from corrosion. The ground wires should run over the floor and b
e
connected to the ground rods located outside the building. The wire should not go thru the concret
e
floor but over and around it.
3.
AC WIRING: Wiring to the house electrical sub-panel will be routed to the AC terminal
block mounted in the back of the rack.
