2.4 Fiber Output Modules Warning
2.5 Cable Management
It is important that the cabling to and from the router is correctly labelled and routed. This will
simplify the work required if the installation needs to be changed or added to at a future date.
2.6 Power Supplies
The power supply shelves are separate 2RU modules. Power supply shelves are rack
mountable and can be placed above, below or remote from the Sirius frame.
The power supply alarm cable(s) and 48 V DC cables are supplied by Snell and can be
ordered as either 2.5 meter cables or 8 meter cables.
LASER SAFETY
The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal
operating conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent direct
exposure to the laser beam.
Even though the power of these lasers is low, the beam should be treated with caution
and common sense because it is intense and concentrated. Laser radiation can cause
irreversible and permanent damage of eyesight. Please read the following guidelines
carefully:
• Make sure that a fiber is connected to the board's fiber outputs before power is
applied. If a fiber cable (e.g. patchcord) is already connected to an output, make
sure that the cable's other end is connected, too, before powering up the board.
•Do not look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. The laser
wavelengths being used are totally invisible to the human eye and can cause
permanent damage. Always use optical instrumentation, such as an optical
power meter, to verify light output.
• Cables connected to the router must be fitted with adequate vertical and horizontal
strain relief to avoid twisting of the rear panels causing damage to the router
connectors and loss of electrical/signal connection to the router.
• Cables connected to the router should be routed so they do not cover any of the
frame fan exhausts as this can restrict airflow through the router.
• Ensure that the power supply shelves are correctly earthed see section 2.7 for
details.
• The power supply units are sealed and do not contain any serviceable items
• Power supply shelves are heavy so it is advised that two people are needed to
support the weight of the power supply shelves during installation.
• To prevent damage, power supply shelves should not be mounted using just the
front ears, and should have support at the rear of the shelves.

2.7 Earth Cables
2.7.1 Important Protective Earth Information
Due to the high leakage current, ensure that all of the power supply shelves are grounded to
the protective earth. Earth studs are provided on the rear of each power supply shelf for this
purpose. These studs have M6 size nuts, and are suitable to take an eyelet crimp.
2.7.2 Important Functional Earth Information
Up to three earth cables (636027) are supplied with the Sirius 800 depending on how many
power supply shelves are fitted. One should be fitted from each power supply shelf to the
Sirius 800 router frame, this is called a Functional Earth.

• Protective Earthing is a conductor in the building installation wiring, or in the power
supply cord, connecting a main protective earthing terminal to an earth point in the
building installation.
PROTECTIVE EARTH
• The building installation must provide a means for connection to the protective
earth and the equipment must be connected to that means.
• A service person must check that the socket outlets that the equipment is to be
powered from provide a connection to the protective earth. If not the service person
must arrange for the installation of the protective earth wire in the building.
Warning
High leakage current; the Protective Earth connection is essential before connecting the
supply.
Note:
• The Functional Earth on the power supply shelf is indicated by this symbol:
(located on the left side of the power supply shelf, see Fig 1.).
• Functional Earthing is the earthing of a point on the equipment or system, which is

Sirius 800 www.snellgroup.com Warnings and Precautions
Issue 1 Rev 1 Page 14 © 2014 Snell Limited
2.8 Ventilation
A fully populated Sirius 800 is ventilated by groups of fan modules mounted in the front and
rear of the router. The vents in the front, sides and rear must not be obstructed and should be
periodically cleaned and kept free from the build-up of dust. All the fan modules are monitored
for failure.
Air is pulled in through the ventilation slots in the front door and circulated through the router,
passing over the modules, and then expelled by the rear fans, air is also expelled out at points
on each side of the frame, where the crosspoint modules are situated.
The power supply shelves have their own integral cooling system.
• Ensure the flow of air is not restricted through the vents and fan exhausts.
• Do not obstruct the air vents situated on both sides of the frame, and allow a
minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) clearance to allow air flow. The air that is exhausted
from the sides must be able to flow past the rear of the router frame without being
obstructed. This also applies to the PSU shelves.
• The fan assemblies should be placed back into the closed position as soon as
possible after opening, as this ensures correct ventilation of the frame. Failure to
do this will result in failure.
• In practice the maximum time that a fan assembly can be left open will depend on a
number of factors such as; ambient temperature, frame loading, crosspoint
routings, etc. To ensure correct operation under all conditions the fan assemblies
should be left open for no more than 4 minutes at a time.

3.1.1 Important Protective Earth Information
See section 2.7.1 for full details of the Protective Earthing requirements.
3.1.2 Cable Management
See Section 2.5 for details on cable management.
3.2 Mains Power Cables
The maximum current drawn by each power supply unit is dependant on the local mains
voltage, the configuration of the router and the number of power supply shelves installed.
Each AC feed must have an Isolating Switch or Circuit Breaker. Any mains cables used must
be rated above the rating of the circuit breaker. The mains cable used should be a three core,
double screened with a minimum current rating of 25 A (typically 6 mm2, 10 AWG).
3.3 Power Supply Redundancy
To ensure full dual redundancy, half of the power supplies should be powered from a separate
power source to the other power supplies. Under normal operating conditions with dual power
sources, each power supply unit runs at less than 50% loading.
The number of power supply shelves should be selected based on the mains supply
operating voltage, router type and router configuration (see the appropriate Sirius 800
Installation and Quick Start guide for details).
PROTECTIVE EARTH
1. The building installation must provide a means for connection to the protective
earth. The equipment must be connected to that means.
2. A service person must check that the socket outlets that the equipment is to be
powered from provide a connection to the protective earth. If not the service person
must arrange for the installation of the protective earth wire in the building.
Installation must be in accordance with Local and National electrical codes. This product is
pluggable type B (IEC 60309).
Important:
The Sirius 800 has up to twelve “PowerCon” AC power connectors for the power supply
shelves (three or four per power supply shelf). It is the responsibility of the customer to
connect these to the mains supply.
Note:
Ensure all DC power cables are fitted before powering up the Sirius 800.

Sirius 800 www.snellgroup.com Power Supplies
Issue 1 Rev 1 Page 18 © 2014 Snell Limited
3.4 Power Supply Shelf
A single Power Supply Shelf is a separate 2RU assembly which contains up to four sealed
power supply units (see Fig 3.). The power supply units are self-contained and do not contain
any serviceable components. The power supply shelf is rack-mountable and can be placed
above, below or remote from the Sirius frame.
The power supply shelf has auto-sensing inputs, which accept input voltages of between
100 VAC and 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Each power supply unit has an independent PowerCon
AC input socket.
The AC input of each power supply unit is rated up to a maximum of 25 A. This assumes the
power supply units are running at their maximum power. Any cables used must be rated
above the rating of the circuit breaker with a suggested rating of 25 A.
The power supply shelf outputs 48 V DC and the power supply units current-share on the
output. Each power supply shelf has three 48 V DC connectors at the rear but only two are
used (see Fig 4.). The power supply shelf can generate alarm signals to indicate presence
and output status.
Caution
• Ensure that the power supply shelves are correctly earthed see section 2.7 for
details.
• The power supply units contain dangerous high voltages and are NOT
user-serviceable.
• The DC leads connecting the power supply shelf to the router are capable of
supplying very high electric current. Do not short circuit.
• The power supply shelf has a protective metal mesh cover over the front of the
individual power supply units, this should only be removed by a qualified engineer.
See section 4.3 for details on replacing power supply units.
• There is one spare DC connector on each power supply shelf and up to four on the
Sirius 800 router frame. Do not remove the covers of the unused connectors.
Fig 3. Front View of the Power Supply Shelf (with and without the Protective Cover)
• Do not obstruct the air vents situated on both sides of the power supply shelf, and
allow a minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) clearance to allow air flow. The air that is
exhausted from the sides must be able to flow past the rear of the power supply
shelf without being obstructed.

3.5 Power Distribution
The power supply shelves provide 48 V DC for distribution to the entire frame. All router
modules (inside the frame) have on-board DC to DC converters to locally supply the required
voltages. A single Green LED on the front edge of each module indicates that all is working
correctly. This arrangement provides simple power distribution, as well as effective power
de-coupling between modules.
3.6 Power and Alarm Connections to the Sirius 800 Frame
The Sirius 800 is powered by up to three 2RU power supply Shelves depending on the router
configuration and mains voltage (see the appropriate Sirius 800 Installation and Quick Start
guide for details). The power supply shelves each have up to four PowerCon AC input
connectors (see Fig 4.).
Each power supply shelf has three 48 V DC power connectors, only two connectors from
each power supply shelf are used to power the Sirius 800. The cover on the unused 48 V DC
socket must be left on the power shelf.
Up to two power supply alarm cables (636028) are supplied with the Sirius 800 depending on
the number of power supply shelves fitted. Connect each power supply shelf to the router
alarm rear panel using the 25-Way connector. The alarm signals send a warning to the Door
PC, and via external GPIs or an external Workbench system if there is a power supply failure.
The power supply alarm cable(s) are supplied by Snell and can be ordered as either
2.5 meter cables or 8 meter cables.

Important:
The Fan Out Control modules provide power to all fan modules. At least one Fan Control
module must be present or the fans will stop, which will cause the Sirius 800 to quickly
overheat. To prevent the fans from stopping, there are two Fan Control modules.
• The power supply shelves MUST be isolated from the AC supply by means of the
external distribution switch/circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the
48 V DC power cables. This is required because the “PowerCon” connectors are
not suitable for isolating current.
• This equipment has more than one power source, to reduce risk of electric shock
isolate all power supplies before servicing.
• High leakage current, Protective Earth connection essential before connecting
supply (see section 2.7.1).

3.6.1 48 V DC Power Out Cables
The 48 V DC power cables are supplied by Snell and can be ordered as either 2.5 meter
cables or 8 meter cables.
Important:
• All of the 48 V DC cables from the power supply shelves to the Sirius 800 router
must be the same length to ensure that the voltage drop along each cable is the
same at high currents.
• The power supply shelves MUST be isolated from the AC supply by means of the
external distribution switch/circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the
48 V DC power cables.
Note:
The three 48 V DC power connectors on each power supply shelf are common. Any two of
the three sockets can be used to power the router frame.
