imperative to properly setup the load bank to avoid permanent damage to the unit.

How to determine the proper location of the load bank.
5.2 Load Bank Placement
The load bank is installed within a server room into a 19-inch server rack. There must
be a minimum of two (2)
feet on the inlet and outlet
of the load bank. Failure
to properly install the unit
will risk damage to the
unit due to overheating as
well as damaging adjacent
equipment. With the
Microstar Standard Precision
Heater, use
250V, 16A-rated
C13/C14 cables
when
applying power. A forced air system that takes air in the front and discharges through
the rear of the device cools the load elements (see Figure 1).

When installing the load bank into a server rack, line up the adapter pins with the
corresponding holes on the server rack. These may be square or round holes, either
non-threaded or threaded (#10, #12, M6) in the rack. Use the quarter-turn Cam-
Lok keys to lock the load bank into position. The general load bank warnings on the
following page are general warnings to consider when using any load bank equipment:
WARNING
It is important to properly balance the phase
legs used to power multiple load banks. Always
have the load bank installed by trained personnel
ONLY. Failure to properly install the unit may
result in substantial damage to or the destruction
of the load bank and adjacent equipment.
