Unpacking and Inspections 2.2.1 Handling Considerations The static switch is bolted to a wooden shipping pallet to allow handling by forklift equipment or a pallet jack. Easily Moved — The unit is furnished with integral castors that allow the unit to be rolled into place after it has reached its location and is removed from the pallet. WARNING ! Exercise extreme care when handling static switch cabinets to avoid equipment damage or injury to personnel. The cabinet can be safely tilted 15 de

Location Considerations 3.0 LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS The Liebert STS2 should be placed in a clean, cool and dry location. The Liebert STS2 requires only front access for installation and maintenance. Back or side access is not required. Adequate space is required above the unit for conduit (if configured as such) and cooling air flow. This section provides specific information for these considerations. The unit is designed with top and bottom cable terminations to allow maximum flexibility in

Power and Control Wiring 5.0 POWER AND CONTROL WIRING All power and control wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. All power and control wir- ing must comply with the NEC and applicable local codes. Unless otherwise labeled, use the recom- mended tightening torque as shown in Table 24 - Torque tightening. The busbars are accessible through the front of the Liebert STS2 and designed to allow one-handed tightening. Cables can be installed through the top or bottom of the unit thro

Power and Control Wiring 5.3 System Grounding Equipment grounding — Grounding is primarily for equipment and personnel safety, although proper grounding also enhances equipment performance. All input and output power feeds must include an equipment grounding means as required by the NEC and local codes. An insulated equipment ground conductor is recommended to run with each input and output power feed. The equipment ground conductors should be at least the minimum size conductor per the NEC
