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.
LOCATION
The Load Bank is designed primarily for indoor use. 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 11,000 CFM or greater is required.
Temporary outdoor use is acceptable if climate and environment are suitable. Some moisture
from light (non-freezing) rain will not damage the unit if running or in storage outdoors with
control panel slide cover door shut.
A minimum of four feet of clearance from the inlet end and eight feet of clearance on the exhaust
end are required for proper airflow.
*************************************************************
W A R N I N G
The exhaust air may be in excess of 250
o
F above ambient 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.
