OMHAC415-100
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
●
The unit should only be operated by a competent person who is completely
familiar with the operation and specification of the load bank.
●
The equipment is designed for AC operation @ 50Hz only and therefore must not
be used on DC loads such as batteries.
●
Operators must ensure that interconnecting cables are correctly rated to carry the
required load current and adequately insulated to prevent the possibility of electric
shock.
●
When in use the load bank should be cordoned off using safety barriers.
●
The load bank should only be operated in an area with adequate ventilation.
●
Care should be taken as the exhaust air outlet will be hot.
●
Cables must be positioned away from the air exhaust
●
During operation the load bank should not be covered or positioned to restrict air
flow
●
Caution – some metal surfaces will be hot during operation
●
At the end of any test the fan should be kept running for 10 minutes without load
to remove the residual heat from the load bank case.
CONNECTION PROCEDURE
● Ensure the power source to be tested is compatible with the load bank
operating voltage and frequency.
● Ensure the power source is de-energised.
● Do not attempt to operate the load bank above the maximum operating
voltage or frequency
● Check all panel mounted control switches are in the OFF position.
● Connect the hand held controller to the load bank
● Ensure the neutral and earth are connected correctly to the power source
● Ensure the neutral and earth are connected correctly
● Ensure the power cables are correctly connected to the power source
