2.6 Locating the Equipment
2.6.1 Environment
The equipment should be located indoors in an environment that protects it from direct sunlight, moisture, and dust. Changes in temperature,
humidity, and airborne pollution will affect the environment in which the equipment is operating and consequently may impair the safety and
operation.
It is the customers' responsibility to ensure that the environmental conditions specified in table 2.1 are maintained.
2.6.2 Space Requirements
The equipment should be mounted on a flat surface, capable of withstanding the weight of the equipment and all ancillary parts. A minimum
clearance of 150mm (5.9in) should be provided on all sides of the generator for air flow. Additional space should be provided so that the
generator can be moved to allow unrestricted access to the generator during servicing and maintenance.
Do Not
block the side vents or the fans located on the rear panel of the generator.
Do Not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate or disconnect from the electrical supply.
2.6.3 Ventilation Requirements
2.6.4 Electrical Supply Requirements
The equipment should be connected directly from the fused IEC 320 inlet socket to the electrical supply using the power cord supplied. The
equipment should be positioned so that it can be connected to the electrical supply without the use of an extension cord.
It is the customers responsibility to provide a fused electrical supply to the equipment (Refer to table 2.1 for the electrical specification). It is
recommended that this supply have surge protection.
Due to the nature of operation there is a possibility of oxygen enrichment surrounding the generator. Ensure that the area is adequately
ventilated. Where the risk of oxygen enrichment is high, such as a confined space or poorly ventilated room, the use of oxygen monitoring
equipment is advisable.
The generator is capable of delivering nitrogen at a flow rate up to 50L/min. We consider these levels to be of no concern. Nitrogen is not a
poisonous gas but, in a concentrated form, there is a risk of asphyxiation. If the generator is operated within a confined space ensure that
adequate ventilation and oxygen monitoring equipment is fitted.
The equipment is connected to protective earth (ground) through the power cord. It is essential that electrical supply is equipped with a
protective earth (ground) terminal. If an alternative power cord is used to connect the equipment to the electrical supply, ensure that it is
suitably rated for the application and contains a protective earth (Ground) conductor.
