Micro/Mini Pop Box Build Instructions

 

 

Materials:

·  Enclosure back panel

·  12-inch din rail

·  #8 ½-inch and #8 1-inch self-drilling screws

·  Washers to fit screws

·  Two APC-DIN-SS enclosures with 4 GIGEAPC-HV surge suppressors installed in each

·  Two din-rail endcaps

·  Power supply:

o    For Micro: SDR-240-48

o    For Mini: SDR-480-48

·  One AC Breaker – 5A or better

·  Two DC Breakers

o    Micro: 8A and 10A

o    Mini: 10A and 15A

·  6-position grounding bar

Tools:

·  Drill with driver bit for self-drilling screws

·  Long flat-head screwdriver for manipulating DIN rail clips

·  Tape measure or ruler

·  Phillips screwdriver

Step 1: Install the DIN rail 4 inches from the top.  Use ½” #8 self-tapping / drilling screws.  Be sure to put the left screw at least 2 inches from the edge (the picture is not correct).

 

 

Step 2: Remove the grounding wire from the back of the DIN rail mount surge suppression enclosure.  Do not throw the wire away.

Step 3: Remove the screw from the bottom of the enclosure and scratch the paint off around the screw hole.  This will be a new grounding point, so we want plenty of contact between the raw metal and the wire connector.

Step 4: Screw the grounding wire into the bottom of the enclosure.  Point the wire toward the back of the enclosure.

Step 5: Attach the enclosure the DIN rail 2 inches from the edge.

Step 6: Repeat steps 2-4 with the second enclosure.  Install it to the left of the first.

Step 7: Install the DIN rail end bracket to the end of the right side of the DIN rail.

Step 8: Install another DIN rail end bracket on the left side, then install the AC breaker (5A or larger) followed by the power supply on next to the left bracket.

Step 9: Install two DC breakers immediate right of the power supply.  For the Micro: 10A on the left, 8A on the right.   For the Mini: 15A on the left, 10A on the right.

Step 10: Remove the left and right screws from the grounding bar.  Install the bar near the bottom right of the panel, as shown using 1-inch #8 self-drilling screws.  Replace the right and left grounding screws.
