2.- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this manual is to assist during the installation, start-up and maintenance of

OPTIM P&P

series low voltage (LV) capacitor banks switched by contactors. Carefully read the

manual to achieve the best performance from those units.

3.- INSTALLATION

3.1.- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS

In order to use the unit safely, it is critical that individuals who handle it follow the

safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used,

use the personal protective equipment necessary, and pay attention to the vari-

ous warnings indicated in this instruction manual.

Installation or maintenance personnel should read and understand this manual

before operating the unit.

A copy of this manual should always be available to maintenance personnel for

reference purposes

Connecting the unit to the public mains must be carried out in compliance with

the EN-IEC60204-1 standard, regarding the safety of LV electrical installations.

It is recommended that several personnel are present when handling the unit for

installation or maintenance.

If damage or faults are detected during unit operation, or in circumstances that

compromise safety, immediately stop work in that area and disconnect the unit in

order to check it without voltage.

The manufacturer of the unit is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure by the

user or installer to heed the warnings and/or recommendations set out in this manual, nor for

damage resulting from the use of products or accessories that did not come with the unit or that

were made by other manufacturers.

If an anomaly or malfunction is detected in the unit, do not use it to perform any operation.

Modifying, upgrading or rebuilding the unit without written authorisation from the

manufacturer is prohibited.

The installation, operation and maintenance of low voltage (LV) units must only

be carried out by authorised installers. LV regulations (Art. 22) specifically define

the requirements that authorised installers must meet.
