VVP-15C ELECTROFISHER

Correction:

Turn off the “ON/OFF” circuit breaker. Return 
VVP-15C to set-up conditions. Inspect elec-
trodes to ensure output is not shorted. If sit-
uation occurs at low settings then perform 
detailed inspection of output cabling and 
arrays. If unable to correct, call Smith-Root, 
Inc. for assistance.

If green ‘ON’ indicator light isn’t lit, check 
input circuit breaker and generator overload 
indicator.

3. GENERATOR OVERLOAD

Cause:

Generator power rating has been exceeded.

Characteristics: 

“OUTPUT ON” indicator and “OUTPUT OFF” 
indicator will flash alternately. Output will 
be disabled. VVP-15C will reset when safety 
switch is released.

Correction:

If generator overload occurs repeatedly the 
operator must reduce the voltage output and/
or one of the mode settings. If a generator 
with an output rating of less than 5000 watts 
is being used a larger generator may be nec-
essary.
