Chapter 3: Installation

3. Installation

3.1 Operating Environment

• Make sure the cart and timer are located in a dry area. Moisture might damage the unit.

• Install the timer using mounting points on timer’s cover to the selected mounting surface by using #6-32 screws and nuts (not included with the timer).

• Install the timer in an environment that does not exceed the operating temperature and humidity requirements for safe operation.

• Make sure proper airflow is present, so that the timer can operate safely.

• Mount the timer in a position that prevents uneven mechanical loading, which could cause the cart to tip over.

• Connect the iPads, Chromebooks, tablets, and/or laptops to the supply circuit so that the electrical circuits and supply wiring are not overloaded. Consider nameplate ratings when deciding how to install the cart and timer.

• Maintain reliable equipment grounding.

3.2 Electrical Connections

• Press the circuit breaker rocker switch to the “off” position, as shown in Figure 1.

• Connect the iPads, Chromebooks, tablets, and/or laptops to AC outputs, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Continuous current draw for all connected units must not exceed the input current rating.

CAUTION:

• The power source for the cart must be properly grounded.

• Connect the timer to a source rated at equal to or greater than the timer’s maximum input current rating.

• Total current draw through the timer must not exceed the timer’s maximum load current rating.
