The LKP systems are factory-set for the correct voltage and frequency (50 or 60 Hz) per customer order. To operate an LKP system at a different line frequency than was ordered, move jumper JP1 (located on the control board inside each module) to the desired frequency.

    Warning : Keep all exposed head cable leads from touching the bus, ground, or any support structures. Consult with DynAmp about using a shorting plug at each connector. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS (LIVE BUS) If the unit is to be installed on a live bus, the following precautionary measures must be taken before installing the Measuring Head: Make sure that the cables are disconnected from the head during installation.

    However, it is now necessary to take a complete set of channel voltage readings. These readings serve two purposes: one, to verify that all channels are operating properly and two, to aid in magnetic centering of the head. With the bus current © 2016 DynAmp, LLC Page 19 041749 K...

    Note that (1) it would not be necessary to change the horizontal positioning since the channel 1 voltage is not excessive and (2) an absolute balance between opposing channels is unnecessary. Lowering the higher readings is more important than achieving perfect balance. © 2016 DynAmp, LLC Page 21 041749 K...
