DESCRIPTION
The
VARIABLE VOLTAGE PULSATOR ELECTROFISHER MODEL VVP-15C
is
designed to supply DC or DC Pulsed voltages for use in electrofishing. Great care
has been taken to improve upon the original designs of the VVP-15 and MK-22.
This updated electrofisher provides almost identical control features and meter-
ing to allow consistency with previous samplings. Higher efficiency is an added
benefit of our Generation C, allowing increased samples with less wear and tear
on equipment.
The VVP-15C requires at minimum a 5000 watt generator to reach full rated output.
Generators with less output can be used but will not achieve full output potential.
Recommended Generators: Honda EM5000S, Honda EG5000, Honda EM3800S or
Honda EG3500.
This equipment will not function properly when operated from a 240 Volt AC generator if
the generator neutral line is grounded or connected to any other points.
Consult generator
manufacturer for specifications regarding whether your generator has a floating neutral or
procedures to modify your generator. This applies to both the 240Volt and 120V outputs.
Additional caution should be taken to insure that any devices used on the 120V output are not
internally grounded to the neutral. If the neutral connections cannot be removed a 240 volt to
240 volt isolation transformer of adequate wattage rating must be used (5000-Watt Nominal,
SRI line #7791).
