SECTION III
INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Inspect the Load Bank for obvious damage such as broken wires, broken or dented panels, cracked
ceramic insulators, or any other component breakage that may have occurred in shipment.
*************************************************************
W A R N I N G
It is vitally important to install the Load Bank properly. Installation
errors may result in a catastrophic failure. The airflow switches, a
protective device in the Load Bank, will guard against some of these
problems. If protective circuitry prevents application of the load,
determine the source of the problem. DO NOT DISABLE the
AIRFLOW or OVERTEMPERATURE SWITCHES. This will cause
a safety hazard and will void our warranty. The following
installation instructions are critical to the safe operation of the Load
Bank. Refer to the SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS section of this
manual.
*************************************************************
LOCATION
The Load Bank must be used in a cool, well ventilated area. It must be installed where cool air is
continually available and where hot exhaust air will not be recirculated through the Load Bank. If
the Load Bank is operated in a closed space, ventilation of 60,000 CFM or greater is required.
Exhaust temperature can exceed 280 in approximately 3 minutes without the proper ventilation.
The exhaust air may be in excess of 280F under full load conditions. The unit must not be installed
near any equipment, wiring, or plumbing which may be damaged by high air temperatures or which
may constitute a fire hazard. Care should also be taken so as not to set off a sprinkler system by
exposing it to hot exhaust air.
