DC Power Warnings and Notes

Danger:
The unit should be connected to a DC branch circuit with a 100A (DC PEM-3) or 60A
(DC PEM) circuit breaker or fuse that meets the requirements for branch circuit protection. A
suitable disconnect device must be provided in the DC branch, either a circuit breaker or
switch that can be employed to disconnect power to the system during servicing.
Confirm that the DC power source is OFF during installation. The power source should be a
safety extra-low voltage (SELV) source.
The 7750 SR-7 router with DC PEMs should be installed only in restricted access areas (such
as dedicated equipment rooms and electrical closets) in accordance with Articles 110-26 and
110-27 of the most recent National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.

Warning:
Before connecting or disconnecting ground or power wires to the chassis, ensure that power is
removed from the DC circuit.

Caution:
The 7750 SR-7 must be connected directly to the DC PEM earthing electrode conductor or to
a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC PEM earthing
electrode is connected.
The DC power source must be located within the same premises as this equipment.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in the earthed circuit conductor between
the DC source and the point of connection of the earthing electrode conductor.
For main wiring, a minimum of #4 AWG conductors are recommended. Field wiring
applications should be in accordance to the National Electric Code, NFPA 70 or local
electrical code requirements.
