5 INSTALLATION
Read this manual thoroughly prior to attempting equipment installation. Improper installation is the
most significant cause of system start-up and service problems over the product’s life. Perform an
external visual inspection upon receipt of the equipment. Verify that the nameplate information is
consistent with the ship’s power requirements (required form, voltage, and frequency).
Proper planning will speed up location, installation, and connection of the equipment. Follow the
suggested minimum clearances provided in Table 1. Ensure the room/compartment has adequate
ventilation and cooling. The thermal load presented by the converters will be substantial:
approximately 3,470 BTU/Hr for the AC08 and approximately 4,750 BTU/Hr for the AC12 at
maximum continuous load.
THE AC08 AND AC12 ARE HEAVY, WEIGHING UP TO 230lbs (104kg).
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED IN HANDLING AND
INSTALLATION TO AVOID EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR INJURY TO
PERSONNEL. AN ADEQUATE MATERIAL HANDLING DEVICE SHOULD
BE USED FOR UNLOADING, MOVING, AND POSITIONING THE
SYSTEM.
