Earthing
The CSP-N MUST be earthed. The M8 earth bolt on the front panel should be connected to the
vessel earth by a heavy gauge wire or cable. On larger ships, earth is usually a steel bulkhead, but
for smaller fibre glass / wooden vessels a sea earth is necessary. A sea earth can be constructed
from a 25 mm
2
or larger copper cable with 1 – 2 metres of insulation stripped off with all the
exposed copper conductor in the water. A weight will be required to ensure that the sea earth cable
is in the water at all times during towing activity even during heavy roll.
It is recommended that earthing arrangements are checked regularly as corrosion or abrasion (or
metal cutting gear!) can cause damage which may result in the equipment becoming unsafe from
having an ineffective earth.
The CSP-N range of Capacitor Discharge PSUs are compact and easy to operate. However, the
units still generate lethal voltages, and the operators should make themselves aware of all
necessary safety procedures. The equipment is designed so that there is no need for the operator
to go inside for anything, except major repairs. We cannot be liable for any consequences should
the units be opened. Health and Safety guidelines and our own Safety Policy strongly suggest that
factory training is received before opening the top cover.
This manual is supplied in three parts:
Section 1
Basic operation information details.
Section 2
For manufacturer trained technicians only
and provides troubleshooting advice,
schematics and circuit descriptions.
Section 3
Provides block and circuit diagrams.
