INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Nema-3R Load Banks are intended for
outdoor installation. The load elements
in this Load Bank are cooled by a forced
air system which discharges through
the top of the cabinet. This Load Bank
will produce a large quantity of exhaust
air. Location of the Load Bank is of
prime importance and should be done
by trained personnel. It is one of the
most critical factors involved in safe
operation. The Load Bank must be po-
sitioned and installed according to large
airflow requirements.
• There must be a minimum clearance
of 6 feet on all sides of the Load Bank.
• Load Banks installed indoors must
be equipped with an exhaust air duct
of minimum back pressure (supplied
by others) which routes all Load Bank
hot exhaust air outdoors.
• Never install any structure or object
at any height above the Load Bank.
• Always locate the Load Bank in a
secure area accessible by trained
personal only.
• Use the eyehooks and forklift chan-
nels provided to position the Load
Bank.
• Never move the Load Bank with the
exhaust hood attached.
• Never point the exhaust at a nearby
surface or object which may be ad-
versely affected by high tempera-
ture.
• Never operate the Load Bank in a
confined space without regard for
adequate intake of air and provision
for exit of high temperature exhaust.
• Consider that the Load Bank and a
nearby generator set may have to
compete for cooling air.
• Never bounce hot exhaust air off
nearby objects and allow it to recircu-
late through the cooling system.
• Never operate the Load Bank in prox-
imity to a sprinkler system.
Failure to properly install this Load Bank
may result in substantial damage to or
the destruction of the Load Bank, adja-
cent equipment and the building in which
the Load Bank is installed.
If any problems are observed
during Primary Inspection call
the Simplex Service Manager at
217-483-1600 (24hrs.)
Never operate or service a Load
Bank that is not properly con-
nected to an earthground.
