4 INSTALLATION
4.1 General Warnings
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the HPB with installation and special wiring
techniques required to reduce induction from high voltage circuits.
Before the HPB can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered and
understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the HPB or the system into which it is installed.
Along with relevant competence, and an understanding of the target application, the following points
should be considered:
4.1.1 Ensure that the information provided in this user manual is fully understood.
It is extremely important that the limitations and functionality of the HPB are understood to prevent
incorrect installation and use from creating a potentially dangerous risk. If in doubt as to the nature of the
limitations or their implication, consult a competent authority such as a supervisor or Ampcontrol
technical representative.
4.1.2 Ensure that the application into which the HPB is being installed has been
properly defined, designed and approved.
Any system intended to mitigate the risk of injury needs to be properly designed and implemented. Such
a system must be the result of structured risk analysis with the outcomes used to define the system
requirements. These requirements, in turn, will guide the choice of instrumentation, logic solvers and
actuators needed to implement the system. Understanding the needs of the system will ensure proper
selection of equipment.
4.1.3 Ensure that the HPB will properly perform the required functions within the system
design.
It is important to understand how the HPB is intended to interact with other equipment within a system.
For safe and reliable use, it is crucial that neither the HPB’s logical operation nor its signalling be
compromised by incompatibilities with connected equipment.
4.1.4 Modifications of any form to the HPB are prohibited.
The HPB as supplied has been designed and manufactured to comply with the requirements of
protection standards. If modifications of any form are made to the HPB, the equipment may no longer be
fit for use. If any modifications or damage to the HPB is evident, do not use the equipment and contact
Ampcontrol for advice.
4.2 Mandatory Installation Practices
The following information must be adhered to when installing the HPB. Failure to adhere to this
information may give rise to unsafe operation.
Using the HPB in a manner that exceeds its electrical, functional or physical specifications, or in a way
that is contrary to its operating restrictions, may create risks to personnel and/or equipment resulting in
injury or death.
The HPB must be powered within the specified voltage range.
The installation of the HPB must be carried out by suitably trained and qualified personnel.
Identification labels fixed to the HPB must not be damaged, removed or covered before, during or
after installation.
The installation is to be in accordance with the relevant installation Standards/Codes of Practice.
