2.0 INSTALLATION
This section provides instructions for installing, mounting and connecting power to the AC8.
2.1 Installation Considerations
The AC8 must be installed indoors and may be mounted on the surface of a wall or flush-mounted,
depending on the user’s application, the location of equipment and sensors to be monitored and the
type of wall the unit will be mounted on.
The AC8 should be mounted where it can be easily accessed. On-site personnel would access the unit
through the LCD on its front cover, service terminal connected to the RS232 port or through SiteScan.
For off-site monitoring, the AC8 should be placed near communications means such as a telephone
line connection that would permit remote access.
In addition to the communications connections, the site also must have electrical service and must
permit connecting the unit’s eight digital inputs, eight digital outputs and four analog inputs.
The wall material must be capable of supporting the weight of the AC8: see 8.0 - Specifications.
2.1.1 Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
• Before unpacking the AC8, inspect the shipping carton for damage or signs of mishandling, such
as gashes or holes in the carton or severely flattened corners.
• Open the shipping crates carefully. Use care to avoid puncturing the container with sharp objects
that might damage the contents.
• Inspect the AC8 and all included components for damage.
• If any damage from shipping or mishandling is observed, immediately file a damage claim with
the shipping agency and forward a copy to:
Liebert Corporation
1050 Dearborn Drive
P.O. Box 29186
