•

Lay the cables to minimise the risk of personnel tripping or accidentally tugging on
the cables.

•

Keep all personnel who are not directly involved with tests well away from the load
bank and the equipment under test.

•

The discharge air from the load bank can cause serious burns. Keep away from the
outlet grille while the load bank is running, and do not touch it for at least 10 minutes
after the test is completed.

•

Do not switch off the cooling fans immediately on concluding a test. After removing
the load allow the fans to run for a further 5 minutes to dissipate the residual heat. This
will reduce any fire risk and prevent possible damage to the equipment.

•

Make sure that the air inlet and outlets are completely unobstructed and that there is
no loose material that could be drawn in to the air inlet grille.

•

Ensure that there are no combustible material near the air discharge.

•

Keep an approved electrical fire extinguisher present at all times when the load bank
is in operation.

Noise Hazard.

The load bank’s operating noise level is above 85dB and ear protection

must be worn when it is in use. Please refer to the local regulations regarding noise levels
and ear protection.

Environmental Hazard.

The integrated transformer in the load bank is oil filled and may

pose an environmental hazard if not disposed of correctly. Contaminated/used oil must
be discarded only in accordance with the environmental regulations. Please see supplied
manufacturers manual for more information.
