VIII. TROUBLESHOOTING
VIII-A. General Maintenance
All electrical connections should be tightened every 3 months. Cooling fan motors are
permanently lubricated and do not require maintenance.
Although Swift-E load banks are designed with trouble-free operation in mind, some problems
can arise. Please consult the following table for solutions to the most common issues before
contacting a Simplex service representative.
VIII-B. Load Bank Wired to Source, but Won’t Turn On
•
Ensure load bank is wired to source correctly. See
page 10
for more
information about wiring your load bank to the source.
• Set Meter Range Selector Switch to correct value for source voltage. See page
11 for more information about setting up an operation.
• Remove faceplate and make sure breaker is turned on. See page 13 for more
information about resetting the circuit breaker.
• Check control fuses on front of load bank to ensure they aren’t blown. See page
17 to see where the fuses are located.
• Remove faceplate and check loose relays, contactors, lugged wires, etc. See
page 9 for more information about inspecting the load bank.
VIII-C. Load Bank Overheating
• Clear intake and exhaust vents of any debris. See for more information
about the load bank’s airflow needs.
• Move load bank away from generator or other source’s exhaust and walls and
other obstructions that restrict air flow. See for more information about
the load bank’s airflow needs.
• Make sure ambient temperature isn’t too high to allow for cool air flow. See
for more information about overheating failures.
VIII-D. Meter Displaying Unexpected Results
• Ensure Current Transformer Ratio is set correctly (100:5 for Swift-E, 150:5 for
Swift-E+). See for more information about setting up your meter.
