Installation Tips and Requirements:
The D1xWPS4x9 Power Supply is housed in a NEMA4X rated outdoor enclosure and can
be installed either outside or in a shelter. If installed outside, the installer must consider
water ingress and proper earth grounding to reduce the risk of premature failures.
For AC or DC Input, it is recommended that the electrician or installer calculate the wire
requirements based on the system being installed. It is recommended that installation
does not utilize less than 14AWG 600V cable with at least a 90ºC temperature rating. See
electrical parameters for further information.
It is recommended that the lighting system be on its own breaker adequately rated for the
system’s power consumption. The breaker MUST be rated for at least 20% higher than the
systems total current draw.
Proper grounding techniques must be utilized based on local, state and federal
guidelines and customer specifications. The system has built in Lightning and RF
immunity at each section, but for it to be effective proper ground connection
techniques must be used.
