5. INSTALLATION
Read this manual thoroughly prior to attempting the installation. Improper installation is the most
significant cause of system start-up problems and service issues over the products life. Upon
receipt of the equipment, perform an external visual inspection. Verify that nameplate
information is consistent with the ship’s power requirements (required form, voltage, and
frequency).
Proper planning will speed up installation, location, 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 is approximately 1,400 BTU/Hr. for the DBT12, 1,750 BTU/Hr. for the DBT15,
and 2,800 BTU/Hr. for the DBT24 at rated load.
THE DBT12/15/24 UNITS ARE HEAVY. 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 UNIT.
