The following operations must be undertaken to ensure the detector kit works
correctly:
Perform annual maintenance (cleaning, tightening) on the safety kit.
Conduct an annual check of the smoke detectors.
Change the smoke detector as often as recommended in the maintenance guide.
Any failure to follow procedures and warnings to the letter can lead to premature
failure, explosion, or an outbreak of fire in the equipment, and will automatically
invalidate the enclosure warranty.
C – SAFETY KIT
Capacitor banks are equipped as standard with a safety kit
(1)
:
Each cubicle is equipped with its own smoke detector.
If smoke is detected by the safety kit:
o “ALPTEC” controller power supply switched off.
o The contactors switch to the “open” position.
o Buzzer
(2)
on the front of the enclosure activated with transmission of an
audible and visual signal.
o An NC contact marked “X1/X2” opens to enable remote signalling.
This signalling must always be done by the customer.
o Fan
(3)
switched off.
The fault is maintained until the capacitor bank
(4)
is switched off.
