Strata CTX100-S/CTX100 Installation
Site Requirements
3-2 Strata CTX I&M 06/04
The AC outlet is recommended to be dedicated and unswitched, with a solid third-wire ground.
(See “AC Power and Grounding Requirements” on page 3-4.) This eliminates interference from
branch circuit motor noise or the like, and to prevent accidental power-off. To avoid accidental
power turn-off, Toshiba recommends that you do not use an On/Off wall switch on this dedicated
AC circuit.
For the Strata CTX100, a reserve power source (two or four customer-supplied 12VDC batteries)
may be connected to the system to serve as a power failure backup.
Cabinet Size and Weight
The wall that will support the CTX100 should be able to support 35 lbs. The weight of each
cabinet is shown in Table 2-1 on page 2-2.
Clearance and Location
The minimum clearance requirements for the Strata CTX100 Base and Expansion cabinets are
shown in Figure 3-1.
Consider the following conditions when selecting a location for the Cabinet(s):
The location must be:
• Dry and clean
• Well ventilated
• Well illuminated
• Easily accessible
The location must not be:
• Subject to extreme heat or cold
• Subject to corrosive fumes, dust, or other airborne contaminants
• Subject to excessive vibration
• Next to television, radio, office automation, or high frequency equipment
If reserve power is to be installed for the Strata CTX100, the batteries will require a well-
ventilated location close (within nine feet) to the CTX100 (the optional Toshiba-supplied battery
cable is nine feet in length).
