RECEIVING THE AT10.1
2
1. RECEIVING THE AT10.1
1.1. STORING THE AT10.1
If you store the AT10.1 for more than a few days before installation, you
should store it in its original shipping container, and in a temperature
controlled, dry climate. Ambient temperatures of 32 to 122° F / 0 to 50° C
are acceptable. Storage should not exceed 2 years due to the limited shelf
life of the dc filter capacitors when they are not in service.
1.2. REPORTING SHIPPING DAMAGE
If, on delivery of the AT10.1 or related goods, you discover any damage
or shortage, make notation on all copies of delivering carrier's delivery
receipt before signing, and notify the delivery person of your findings. If
loss or damage is discovered after delivery, notify delivering carrier
immediately and request an inspection. The manufacturer does not assume
any liability for damage during transportation or handling.
Should the goods require an inspection by or return to the manufacturer,
please contact your sales representative for further instructions. Any
returned material must be properly packed in compliance with shipping
regulations. It is preferable to use the original shipping materials if
possible. Mark the outside of the shipping container with the Return
Material Authorization (RMA) number issued by the manufacturer.
1.3. UNPACKING AND INSPECTING THE AT10.1
Carefully remove all shipping materials from the AT10.1. Remove the
AT10.1 from the shipping pallet for inspection. Save all shipping
materials until you are sure that there is no shipping damage.
Once the AT10.1 is unpacked, inspect the unit for possible shipping
damage, using the checklist below. If shipping damage has occurred,
please refer to Section 1.2 on this page for proper reporting.

The Style-5017 & 5018 enclosures do not feature lifting eyes for
moving. Instead, whenever possible move the unit with a forklift truck
using the supplied shipping pallet. To hoist the unit into a wall-mount or
rack-mount location, use a heavy-duty sling applicable to the enclosure
size and unit weight. To relocate the Style-5017 enclosure, use the
aforementioned sling on a hoist or forklift truck. To relocate the Style-
5018 enclosure, use a forklift truck by lifting the unit through the 3in /
76mm gap located between the mounting legs.

1.5.1. Wall-Mounting the AT10.1
In planning for wall mounting of the AT10.1 consider the following:
1. Wall-mounting the Style-5017 enclosure is standard. If you are wall-
mounting a charger in the Style-5018 enclosure, you need the wall mounting
bracket kit (part number EI5008-00). For kit availability see ordering
information in Appendix B on page 71. The kit includes dimensions and
instructions for locating the wall mounting holes.
2. The wall must be strong enough to properly support the weight of the
AT10.1. The weight of your AT10.1 may be different from the table value,
depending on options or accessories you ordered. See the Weight Table
located in Section 1.4 on page 3.
3. Placement of conduit entrances. Note the standard pre-fab conduit
knockouts located on the sides of the charger. See outline drawings in
Appendix C.
4. The location:
• Should be free of drips and splatter. If dripping liquids are a problem,
install a drip shield kit. For kit availability see ordering information in
Appendix B on page 71.
• Should be between 32 and 122 °F / 0 and 50 °C, with relative humidity
between 5 and 95% non-condensing.
• Must be free of flammable or explosive materials.
5. Maintain at least 6in / 152mm of free air on top, bottom and both sides for
cooling air.
6. Allow 36in / 914mm front clearance for access to the charger for operation
and maintenance.

INSTALLING THE AT10.1

PROCEDURE
To wall-mount the AT10.1, install
eight (8) 0.25in / 6.4mm bolts onto
the wall, rated to support the
AT10.1 weight plus a safety factor
of at least 2 times. Place the
AT10.1 on the bolts, add
appropriate mounting hardware,
and tighten securely. See the
diagram below for the Style-5017
enclosure footprint and wall-
mounting pattern. Dimensions are
in/mm.

1.5.2. Floor-Mounting the AT10.1
To floor mount the AT10.1, you must consider the following:
1. Floor-mounting the Style-5018 enclosure is standard. If you are floor
mounting a charger in the Style-5017 enclosure you will need the floor-
mount kit (part number EI0192-00). For kit availability see ordering
information in Appendix B on page 71. The kit contains brackets that elevate
the top of the AT10.1 approximately 47in / 1194mm above floor level, with
provisions for floor anchoring. The kit includes dimensions and instructions
for locating the floor mounting holes.
2. Placement of conduit entrances. Note the standard pre-fab conduit
knockouts located on the sides of the charger. See outline drawings in
Appendix C.
3. The location:
• Should be free of drips and splatter. If dripping liquids are a problem,
install a drip shield. See ordering information in Appendix B on page 71.
• Should be between 32 and 122 °F / 0 and 50 °C, with relative humidity
between 5 and 95% non-condensing.
• Must be free of flammable or explosive materials.
4. Maintain at least 6in / 152mm of free air on top, bottom and both sides for
cooling air.
5. Allow 36in / 914mm front clearance for access to the charger for operation
and maintenance.
