5.7 LA-P (Lightning Arrestor)
The LA-P consists of a 350 Joule, Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV). It plugs directly into
the enclosure’s convenience outlet, eliminating the need for hard-wired MOVs. Enclosed in
a plastic housing, the LA-P is used to provide additional protection from voltage spikes
caused by lightning and other power disturbances. No wiring is necessary.
5.8 BCK-X (Battery Cable Kit)
Battery Cable Kits are heavy-duty wiring assemblies used to connect (3) gelled
electrolyte, or equivalent batteries to the power module. All kits come with mounting
hardware and a quick connect.
5.9 BCK-FX (Fused Battery Cable Kit)
Fused Battery Cable Kits are available for applications requiring additional battery
circuit protection. Cables come with a 40A in-line fuse.
5.10 BMO (Battery Mat Option)
Used for a variety of applications, the rubber battery mat provides additional thermal
isolation and battery shelf protection in PME enclosures.
5.11 BTO (Battery Tray Option)
Used mainly with less common wet cell applications, the BTO is designed to contain
and prevent electrolyte from leaking onto the enclosure's shelf. It can also be used to
provide additional thermal isolation from the power module. Battery trays are constructed
of PVC and accommodate individual battery sizes up to Group 31. PME enclosures only.
5.12 MST (Module Slide Tray)
The MST is designed for use on PME and PWE pole-mount enclosures only and is
compatible with all XM Series power modules. The MST's movable platform rides on a set
of heavy-duty ball bearing slides to promote access to the power module during servicing.
It is available factory installed or as a field retrofit kit.
5.13 DSE (Delete Service Entrance)
For installations requiring an externally-mounted service disconnect, the enclosure's
internal service entrance, if equipped, can be removed. The DSE option, which must be
specified at the time of order, eliminates the internal service entrance assembly. A Square
D 15 Amp "HM" high magnetic circuit breaker (for use with the external service disconnect)
and duplex outlet are included with this option.
5.14 ISE (Internal Service Entrance)
For applications requiring an internal service disconnect to be located inside the
enclosure, the ISE option features a Square D 15 Amp "HM" high magnetic circuit breaker,
an agency approved service disconnect box and duplex outlet.
5.15 STH (Storm Hoods)
Storm hoods are used on PME and PWE pole-mount enclosures to prevent snow from
entering the enclosure during blizzard conditions. Specify the type of enclosure when
ordering.
5.16 XPA (XP Adaptor)
The XPA contains a set of quick connects used to adapt existing Alpha enclosures,
previously wired for AM Series power products, for use with XM Series power modules.
