Assembling the Rack

Rack Leg

OrientationYou can orient the rack legs to suit the available space at your location.

Example: The following top-view drawing illustrates the conventional rack

leg orientation with the legs pointing forward. You can reverse the position of one or both rack legs if it suits your installation.

Keep the Rack

SquareTo prevent the cabinet from twisting when mounting it to the rack, ensure the

rack legs are parallel to each other, and perpendicular to the mounting

surface. A square rack prevents tMEDIC from twisting when mounted.

Procedure The following procedure explains how to assemble the rack in a conventionalfashion (with the rack legs pointing forward):

Step Action

1 Move the box and tools near the area where you will install the rack.

2 Open the box and remove all the parts.

Assembling the Rack, Continued

Procedure (continued)

3 Attach the cross beams to the rack legs using the (A) 3/8 inch connecting bolts, (A) flat washers, and (A) locking nuts. Leave all bolts hand-tight.

4 Make sure the rack is level and square (for example, use a carpenter’s

square or measure from corner to corner), and tighten all the bolts.

5 Attach cabinet mounting (B) bolts (with washers and lock washers) to

the inner holes on the upper cross beam. These bolts are the cabinet

mounting points. Only install them hand-tight.

Warning: Do not hang tMEDIC yet.

Finding a Suitable Installation Location

Introduction After the installers assemble the rack, the system engineer must locate a

suitable installation spot.

Guidelines Use the following guidelines to locate a suitable location to install the rack:

• Install the rack on a secure base (for example, a concrete pad)

• Keep in mind the eventual location of the sensors, and keep the length of wiring

conduit to a minimum

• Position the rack on the shady side of the transformer whenever possible

• Ensure there is a suitable location to install a grounding rod (there must be an

open piece of earth nearby into which you can drive a grounding rod)

• Do not block other equipment (for example, drain valves, fans, or other

transformer equipment)

•

Do not mount the rack in the exhaust path of a cooling fan or any other devicethat could adversely affect tMEDIC’s thermal characteristics

• Ensure there is enough clearance in front of the rack to mount tMEDIC so the

cabinet door can fully open.

Securing the Rack

Introduction The installers move the rack to the selected location near the transformer,

level it, and secure it to the concrete pad.

Procedure To secure the rack:

Step Action

1 Move the assembled rack to the concrete pad.

2 Prepare the concrete pad for rack installation. You may use either the

mounting holes in the rack legs as guides, or the measurements indicted

in the following “top view” diagram.

Note The following measurements are in inches, and the drawing is

not to scale.

3 Level the rack (use the supplied shims, stacked if necessary) so the rack

legs are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the mounting surface.

4 Secure the rack to the mounting surface. GE Energy Services

recommends using all mounting holes to secure the rack assembly.

Mounting tMEDIC

Caution tMEDIC is very heavy (300+ lbs/140+ kg). Lifting the cabinet into place on

the rack requires the use of a crane, forklift, pallet jack, or other heavy lifting

equipment.

Procedure To mount tMEDIC:

Step Action

1 Position the cabinet in front of the rack.

2 Secure lifting straps or cables through the four eyebolts on the top of

tMEDIC.

Warning: Do not lift the cabinet by the keyhole flange.

3 Use the appropriate device to lift the cabinet so the mounting bolts on

the upper cross beam are level with the keyhole on the cabinet’s

mounting flange.

4 Move the cabinet towards the rack until the mounting bolts protrude

through the keyholes.

5 Lower the cabinet until it hangs securely from the mounting bolts. Leave

the bolts snug, but not tight.

Warning: Keep the lifting device in place until the all the mounting bolts

are tightened.

Procedure (continued)

Step Action

6 Secure the cabinet’s lower flanges to the cross beam using the (B)

connecting bolts, lock washers, and flat washers. Leave the bolts snug,

but not tight.

7 Inspect the cabinet to ensure that:

• it is not twisted

• the front door is square to the cabinet

• the door opens easily.

If the front door does not open easily, add shims under the rack legs to

level the rack.

8 Tighten all the cabinet mounting bolts when you are certain the cabinet

is square on the rack.

Grounding tMEDIC

Introduction Ensure the cabinet is properly grounded before starting any other installation

procedures. Grounding prevents nearby power sources such as transformers

and other electrical equipment from damaging the cabinet’s components.

Definition All components inside the cabinet ground to the copper rod on the back, left-hand side of the cabinet. The copper rod is wired to a stud that protrudes from

the side of tMEDIC.

Procedure To ground tMEDIC:

Step Action

1 Ground tMEDIC by connecting a wire from the grounding stud (located

on the lower left side of tMEDIC) to the main tank-grounding pad.

2 Refer to the Site Specific Manuals for grounding information.
