Power Requirements
The LBV system is designed to operate from common power sources. When establishing
the correct power source for the LBV, be sure to consider what other equipment might be
used at the same time to avoid erratic power supply to the LBV.
CAUTION:
Do not plug an Integrated Control Console or Surface Power Supply
configured to 100-130 VAC into 200-250 VAC power source and vice versa. This
will damage the LBV system and may cause physical harm.
CAUTION:
When using a generator or inverter to supply power to the LBV, you
must provide a path from this device to earth ground. Usually, a generator will have
a large, threaded post marked with a
symbol. This post should be electrically
connected to the water in which your LBV will be deployed. Also ensure that the AC outlets
of the device are grounded to this point. Always refer to your device‟s manual for proper
grounding instructions.
Failure to properly ground the LBV system may potentially disable the LBV‟s ground
fault interrupt circuitry and expose you and others to dangerous or lethal voltages!
Other undesired operation and consequences may also result from the improper grounding
of the LBV system.
Both the Surface Power Supply and the Integrated Control Console can be configured
internally to accept either 100-130 VAC or 200-250 VAC. Please refer to our website for this
procedure.

LBV systems fitted with the
HPDC1502 Brush-Less DC Thrusters
have a requirement for
1,200 watts 100-130/200-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
