2. Installation & commissioning
2.1

Transport and storage

2.1.1

Transport

• The handles on the front side of the device are not for carrying!
• Because of its weight, transport by hand should be avoided where possible. If unavoidable
then only the housing should be held and not on the exterior parts (handles, DC input terminal,
rotary knobs).
• Do not transport while the device is powered or connected to a voltage source!
• When relocating the equipment use of the original packing is recommended
• The device should always be carried and mounted horizontally
• Use suitable safety clothing, especially safety shoes, when carrying the equipment, as due to
its weight a fall can have serious consequences.
2.1.2

Packaging

It is recommended to keep the complete transport packaging for the lifetime of the device for relocation or return
to Elektro-Automatik for repair. Otherwise the packaging should be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
2.1.3

Storage

In case of long term storage of the equipment it is recommended to use the original packaging or similar. Storage
must be in dry rooms, if possible in sealed packaging, to avoid corrosion, especially internal, through humidity.
2.2

Unpacking and visual check

After every transport, with or without packaging, or before commissioning, the equipment should be visually
inspected for damage and completeness using the delivery note and/or parts list (see section „1.9.3. Scope of
delivery"). An obviously damaged device (e.g. loose parts inside, damage outside) must under no circumstances
be put in operation.
2.3

Installation

2.3.1

Safety procedures before installation and use

• The device may, depending on the model, have a considerable weight. Therefore the proposed
location of the equipment (table, cabinet, shelf, 19" rack) must be able to support the weight
without restriction.
• When using a 19" rack, rails suitable for the width of the housing and the weight of the device
are to be used. (see „1.8.3. Specific technical data")
• Before connecting to the mains ensure that the connection is as shown on the product label.
Overvoltage on the AC supply can cause equipment damage.
• Before connecting a voltage source to the DC input make sure, that the source can not gener-
ate a voltage higher than specified for a particular model or install measures which can prevent
damaging the device by overvoltage input
2.3.2

Preparation

2.3.2.1 Planning the master-slave system
Before any further planning of installation and wiring it's recommend to decide how the master-slave system shall
be configured. The smallest setup would consist of 1x EL 9000 B and 1x EL 9000 B Slave. Both, master and slave
unit, must be of same rating regarding voltage, current and power. The five models of EL 9000 B Slave series are
the counterparts of matching models with the highest power rating of EL 9000 B series. "Matching" is here related
to master-slave operation, which would not work with different models. It means, that paralleling an EL 9080-170
B with an EL 9080-510 B Slave is technically possible and acceptable (due to the same voltage rating), but not
supported for master-slave.
