Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of this product. Failure to comply may invalidate the warranty.

The instructions in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all mounting applications. You must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting.
- Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.

Installation

Rack Enclosures

For a 42U enclosure, such as Tripp Lite's SR42UB, attach the SRGROUND to the 3 indexed horizontal beams at the top, middle and bottom of the enclosure. The included M4 Self-Tapping Screws will go through the three clearance holes (non-threaded) on the bar, and then into the beams of the rack enclosure.

For a 48U enclosure, such as Tripp Lite's SR48UB, attach the SRGROUND to the top and middle horizontal beams only, as the bar will not reach all the way down to the bottom beam.

For a 25U enclosure, such as Tripp Lite's SR25UB, attach the SRGROUND25 to the 2 indexed horizontal beams at the top and bottom of the enclosure, using the top and second from the bottom holes. The included M4 Self-Tapping Screws will go through the two clearance holes (non-threaded) on the bar, then into the beams of the rack enclosure.

For a 24U enclosure, such as Tripp Lite's SR24UB, attach the SRGROUND25 to cage nuts installed in the top and bottom horizontal rails of the enclosure using the top and bottom holes of the SRGROUND25.

Note: The instructions above are specific for mounting in Tripp Lite SR42UB, SR48UB, SR24UB or SR25UB SmartRack Enclosures. Mounting in other enclosure brands is possible, but will vary depending upon the application. Several holes are provided along the grounding bar that will allow for a workable installation into any brand's rack configuration.

Note: Placement will vary and depend on your particular rack configuration. It is recommended to measure the distance between the bar and your equipment to accommodate the length of the Grounding Straps. Once the length you need has been determined, attach the bar in the appropriate holes in the horizontal beams.

2 Attach one end of the Grounding Strap to the bar using the included M4 screws and washers.
3 Attach the other end of the Grounding Strap to the grounding provision on the intended equipment.

Finally, attach your facility's system ground to the grounding lug at the bottom of the bar. The lug can accommodate 2/0-14AWG wires.
