EARTHING
The CSP-S MUST be earthed. The M8 earth bolt on the front panel should be connected
to the vessel earth by a heavy gauge wire or cable. On larger ships, earth is usually a
steel bulkhead, but for smaller fibre glass / wooden vessels a sea earth is necessary. A
sea earth can be constructed from a 25 mm
2
or larger copper cable with 1
– 2 metres of
insulation stripped off with all the exposed copper conductor in the water. A weight will be
required to ensure that the sea earth cable is in the water at all time during towing activity
even during heavy roll.
It is recommended that earthing arrangements are checked regularly as corrosion or
abrasion (or metal cutting gear!) can cause damage which may result in the equipment
becoming unsafe from having an ineffective earth.
The CSP-S range of Capacitor Discharge PSUs are compact and easy to operate.
However, the units still generate lethal voltages, and the operators should make
themselves aware of all necessary safety procedures. The equipment is designed so
that there is no need for the operator to go inside for anything, except major repairs. We
cannot be liable for any consequences should the units be opened. Health and Safety
guidelines and our own Safety Policy strongly suggest that factory training is received
before opening the top cover.
This manual is supplied in three parts:
Section 1 Basic operation information details.
Section 2 For manufacturer trained technicians
only and provides troubleshooting
advice,
schematics
and
circuit
descriptions.
Section 3 Provides block and circuit diagrams.
