Water pipes (x2, thickness 10 x 3 mm) 5.2.2.2 Setting up Procedures 1. Connect the water pipes between the CCD camera and the KMW150CCD. Refer to figure 5.2.2 NOTE: Water can flow through the Sapphire series CCD camera in either direction.
Figure 5.2.3 Electrical power supply to the KMW150CCD 8. Plug the KMW150CCD power cable into the socket marked Mains IN on the KMW150CCD. 9. Plug the other end of the KMW150CCD power cable into the mains electrical supply.
1. Check that the water pipes and electrical cables are properly connected. 2. Switch on the KMW150CCD by turning the key switch to the right. The lights on the front panel will flash as the KMW150CCD performs a water conditioning check.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 7. Maintenance Schedule 7.1 Introduction Maintenance must be performed to ensure that the KMW150CCD system continues to operate safely and reliably. This is detailed in the maintenance schedule given below. WARNING Failure to perform scheduled maintenance tasks properly and at the correct intervals can affect the safety and performance of this system.
KMW150CCD’s terminals when the power is on. Rotating parts are exposed when the top of the KMW150CCD is removed when the power is on. 3. Remove the top of the KMW150CCD and locate the filling inlet. 4. Remove the inlet cover. WARNING Do not allow water to splash on the electrical circuits of the KMW150CCD.
Funnel 25 Litres of clean distilled water (maximum amount required if reservoir empty) Procedure 1. Switch off the KMW150CCD. 2. Remove the plug from the electricity socket. 3. Close the manual valves. 4. Using a flat wrench (17 mm) or screwdriver carefully unscrew the retaining nut.
