Introduction
Transtector’s AC Edge 240 is a compact (2U) 240Vac secondary power distribution panel featuring two, 240Vac single phase 60A
input buses with dedicated neutrals. The AC Edge provides power for a wide range of local or remote, wireless and wireline, data
and mission critical communications applications. The panel fits 19 in. or 23 in. racks (23 in. brackets sold seperately; need 2X of P/N
2001-389).
The AC Edge supports the use of six breaker output positions per line. Accepted breakers listed in the table on Page 14 range from
1A to 10A with a UL classification of QVNU2. 5A and 10A breakers are available from Transtector, sold separately and installed by site
personnel (see Page 14 for part numbers).
The front of the panel contains six LEDs:
• One on each line (labeled PWR, the LED is green when power is supplied to the unit and off when no power is supplied)
• One on each line for tripped breaker indication (labeled FA, the LED is off during normal operation and red indicating a tripped
breaker)
• One on each supression module (the LED is green when powered and functioning and red when powered and not functioning).
Form C dry contacts on the rear provide connectivity via a single 15-socket (female), D-type connector (HD-15) to remote audible/
visual alarm devices for announcing/displaying power, breaker, and bay failures. The supression modules can be replaced when
required (only when the unit is not powered, see page 14 for instructions).
Input ground connection made via a two hole compression lug on the back of the chassis. Chassis ground connection is tied to input
ground. All output connections are made via the IEC 320-C13 connectors on the back of the unit.

room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature specified by Transtector.
Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to the uneven mechanical
loading.
Circuit Overloading Consideration
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of the rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuits (ACEG).
Disconnect Device
A readily accessible disconnect device should be incorporated in the building installation wiring.

Input Wiring
At the power source, install two, single pole, high inrush, circuit breakers (60A max) following proper wire sizing and conduit guidelines
(per NFPA 70 2011 Article 220, Chapter 9 and local/national codes).
Check that input power to the panel is off or disabled before installing input cabling and install customer provided strain relief to one of
three knockout locations located near the access panel on the top, side, and bottom of the chassis.
13. Open input panel door shown in Figure 4a.
14. Feed input cable through strain relief and label all wiring for clear identification.
15. Secure LINE 1 to top location of terminal block, NEUTRAL 1 to second position from the top, LINE 2 to the bottom position, and
NEUTRAL 2 to the 2nd position from the bottom of the input terminal block (see Figure 4a and 4b). To secure wires, follow figure
4a: (1) Strip wire to 18mm [0.70in]; (2) Fully insert wire into terminal block with latch in the open (vertical) position; (3) Fully de-
press latch into the closed (horizontal) position.
16. (Optional) For low power test purposes only, power may be fed to the unit via two IEC 320-C14 power enty modules (labeled L1
Test and L2 Test) found to the right of the input terminal block. Max power per test feed is 10A. After connecting inputs, close
input panel door and secure with captive fasteners. This door must be closed prior to supplying power to the unit. Failure to do
so can result in severe electric shock.

Circuit breakers are held in place by wide plastic barbs at the top and bottom of each breaker. The barbs lock into cutouts in the top
and bottom of the two breaker cages.
Transtector provides two breaker removal tools. The tools are used together to facilitate breaker removal by depressing the barbs while
prying out the breaker.
In use, slip one tool through the slot at the top of the breaker and one through the bottom of the breaker so that the hooked end of each
tool slips into the cutouts above and below the breaker. Then pry up on the top tool and down on the bottom and pull towards the front
of the chassis to unlock the barbs and free the breaker (see Figure 6).
