Studer Innotec SAXtenderUser manual V4.6.0 93 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION3.1 HANDLING AND MOVINGThe weight of the Xtender can be up to 50kg depending upon the model. Use an appropriate liftingmethod as well as help from a third party when installing the equipment.3.2 STORAGEThe equipment must be stored in a dry environment at an ambient temperature of between-20°C and 60°C. It stays in the location where it is to be used a minimum of 24 hours before being set up.3.3 UNPACKINGWhen unpacking, check that the equipment has not been damaged during transportation and thatall accessories listed below are present. Any fault must be indicated immediately to the productdistributor or the contact given at the back of this manual.Check the packaging and the Xtender carefully.Standard accessories: Installation and operating instructions, c.f. Appendix 1. Mounting plate for XTH and XTS– fig. 2a (25)(26). One set of cable glands on the unit and/or apart. Four M6 screws and washer for XTS to assemble the support and the enclosure.3.4 INSTALLATION SITE3.4.1 XTM and XTHDevices in the XTM and XTH range are designed for indoor use (IP20) and the place of installationmust satisfy the following criteria: Protected from any unauthorised person. Protected from water and dust and in a place with no condensation. It must not be situated directly above the battery or in a cabinet with it. No easily inflammable material should be placed directly underneath or close to the Xtender. Ventilation apertures must always remain clear and be at least 20cm from any obstacle thatmay affect the ventilation of the equipment. In mobile applications, it is important to select an installation site that ensures as low avibration level as possible. According to the IEC/EN 62109-1 norm, the level of pollution at the mounting place shouldnot exceed PD2 (second-degree environment), which means that there can be pollution aslong as it is not electrically conductive. XTSXTS range appliances have a high grade of protection (IP54). They can therefore be installedoutdoors, with exposure to dust and water splashes. It is recommended to avoid locations particularlyexposed to salt-water splashes which are extremely aggressive (for instance under a vehicle chassis)or to solvent (motor oil) that can attack all non-metallic parts of the enclosure. Also avoid installingthe XTS in direct sunlight or near a heat source (i.e. engine compartment). The presence of a heatsource may reduce significantly the nominal power of the unit.Reduce as much as possible exposure to sudden temperature changes as a variation in temperaturemay cause undesired condensation inside the enclosure.The 4 mounting screws of the enclosure must be completely tightened with a torque of5Nm in order to guarantee the IP 54 protection index. Any unused cable glands shouldbe closed in a way that guarantees at least the same level of protection.3.5 FASTENINGThe Xtender is a heavy unit and must be mounted to a non-flammable support (wall)designed to bear such a loadThe Xtender must be installed vertically onto heavy-duty material (concrete or metallic wall) andpositioned vertically with cable glands oriented down. A sufficient space around it must be providedto guarantee adequate ventilation of the device (see figs. 2a).
