Note: Load Bank warranty is void if incorrectly cooled.
High Voltage: Turn off and disconnect power source before opening this compartment.
High Temperature: Allow equipment to cool before servicing or opening this compart-
ment.
Rotating Equipment: Ensure that fan(s) has stopped before opening this compartment.
For Operator Safety: Make sure this equipment is properly grounded when in use.
All compression type connections on fuse blocks, load blocks, and contactors where
used, should be checked for tightness frequently. This check should be established as
part of routine maintenance.
During operation, hot exhaust air must exit from the "top" of the load bank (see Figure
1). If not, shut down the load bank immediately. Correct the problem before applying
power to the load bank.
This load bank is high-powered, technical, industrial equipment operating at dangerous
voltages and temperatures. It is capable of damage to itself or property or personnel if
improperly used. It is not a consumer product.
It must be installed, connected and operated by personnel properly trained and expe-
rienced in its use. An operator's manual is supplied with each load bank or available
Online at http://www.simplexdirect.com.
It is imperative that the operator be familiar with its contents and has access to it during
operation.
The following cautions should be observed before and during operation:
1. Check intake and exhaust screens as well as fan and load elements for foreign
objects.
2. Position and install load bank with great consideration given to large cubic air-
flow requirements, exhaust temperature and velocity. Therefore, do not point
exhaust at any nearby surface or object, which may be adversely affected by high
temperature. This includes but is not limited to painted surfaces, tarpaper and
asphalt roofs, water sprinkler heads, fire alarms, and volatile material.
Do not use in confined spaces without due regard for an adequate supply of
intake air and provision for exit of high temperature exhaust. Do not permit
vertical airflow unit with wheels to sink into soft surfaces thereby cutting
off bottom air intake. Be concerned with possibility that the load bank may
have to compete with cooling air requirements of a nearby running engine
generator set where cooling air intake to a confined space may not be ade-
quate for both engine and load bank. Be especially careful not to bounce hot
exhaust air off nearby obstructions for re-circulation through the load bank.
3. Verify that all control switch positions are correct for intended usage before mak-
ing connection.
4. The load cables carry high amperage. Be constantly aware of possibility of in-
ductively heating adjacent ferrous objects to temperatures sufficient to damage
