General
Pearpoint has taken care to provide the necessary
information in this manual for the safe installation,
operation, maintenance and disposal of this equipment.
However, a risk assessment should be performed prior
to commencing work as it may highlight additional safety
issues specific to the application.
Installation
The P350 flexitrax, including its component parts is heavy.
If available, use the wheels to assist transport. Observe
heavy-lifting safety practices when lifting any component
of this system. Refer to the specifications in Appendix 9.9
for a description of the system’s dimensions and weights.
If mains operated equipment is connected to the
system then the external equipment must be earthed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure
to comply with this may cause the unit to become live and
a
LETHAL HAZARD
.
Generator Selection
Pearpoint strongly recommends the use of generator
equipment with Inverter type outputs. This results in the
best possible quality of supply voltage to the P350 system
over varying load conditions. To power the P350 system
in isolation (in all configurations) requires an inverter output
rated at 1.2kVA, additional electrical loads connected to
the same generator will increase the overall required rating
accordingly.
Generator equipment with AVR type outputs may be
suitable for use if the minimum requirements of generator
loading for AVR operation are met under all operational
circumstances; this is one reason why inverter output
equipment is highly recommended. The minimum load
the P350 system provides can be as low as 75VA. AVR
equipment operated below its minimum loading can lead
to loss of voltage regulation that could cause damage to
the P350 system. Additional high power loads (such as a
water heater or air-conditioner) on an AVR generator can
also lead to voltage fluctuations that could exceed the
maximum ratings of the P350 system.
Generator equipment that does not employ voltage
regulation techniques outlined above (e.g. condenser
output or synchro-converter output) must not be used with
the P350 system as damage to the P350 system from
unregulated voltages is likely.
If in doubt regarding generator output selection, voltage
stability or installation of the generator into a vehicle, consult
a qualified electrician and/or your generator supplier.
