Bullard Eclipse User Manual

The Powerhouse Charging Station is the perfect companion
for your Eclipse Thermal Imager. Designed to safely house
and charge the Eclipse and an accompanying battery, the
Eclipse Powerhouse helps ensure that your Eclipse will
always be ready for action.
Using the Powerhouse as a free-
standing unit:
NOTE
Although the Powerhouse is designed for permanent
vehicle installation, Bullard also provides an optional
AC adaptor kit for unattached, free-standing use. As a
free-standing unit, the Powerhouse cannot provide secure
storage of the thermal imager and its spare battery
in a vehicle in accordance with NFPA 1901-14.1.11.2.
Free-standing use is not recommended for vehicles. The
adaptor kit includes an AC power adaptor.
Installation
The Powerhouse is designed to be mounted on any
convenient flat-panel surface in a vehicle. When installed
and used in accordance with these instructions, the unit is
designed to comply with NFPA 1901-14.1.11.2 (see caution for
proper installation).
Location
Select a conveniently-located, flat-panel surface of sufficient
size to accommodate the unit. The unit can be conveniently
mounted in any orientation and will comply with NFPA
1901-14.1.11.2. The unit is secured to the truck by means
of two “L”-shaped aluminum brackets. The brackets attach
to the truck with four (4) #10 stainless steel countersunk
thread-forming Phillips-head screws,
which are provided. The Powerhouse
attaches to the same brackets with four
(4) #10 stainless steel Phillips-head
pan screws that are also provided with
the unit (Figure 1).
