Section 4 - Preparation
IMPORTANT ! Each unit is fully inspected and tested prior to leaving the factory. CPC series products are packed carefully in approved shipping crates. However, since we cannot control handling during shipping, damage in transit is possible. Please retain all packing materials until the power conditioner is installed and operating satisfactorily. If damage to the shipping container is evident, you may file a claim with the shipper. Concealed damage can also be claimed with the shipper within fifteen (15) days. Immediately contact the shipping company to arrange for any visual inspection or report. Contact the manufacturer if you require assistance. Do not install or apply power to units if there is external damage or if internal components or connections are loose or "rattle." Always check all electrical connections during installation to verify a tight connection.
4.1 Unpackaging
The CPC series is packaged in a sturdy shipping container. For models 20 kVA and smaller, the container consists of a shipping pallet/skid with an outer cardboard housing. For models 25 kVA and larger, the shipping container consists of a bottom pallet/skid, a packing block, four wooden sides, and a top.
For 20 kVA and smaller conditioners, perform the following five steps to remove the power conditioner from the packaging crate.
Step 1 - Remove the outer cardboard carton from the shipping pallet.
Step 2 - The power conditioner is attached to the shipping pallet with metal bands. Using a metal snips or band cutter, cut the metal bands and remove them from the packing crate.
The metal bands are under tension. When cut, they may spring out of control if not
held securely. The bands may be very sharp. Gloves and eye protection are rec- ommended before cutting and removing the metal bands. Failure to follow this pre-
caution may result in injury to eyes or other body parts. Wear protective gear.
Step 3 - Remove the protective plastic bag and foam cushion wrap and dispose of appropriately.
Step 4 - Consult Figure D on Page 16. Remove the 2 x 4 cleat at the front of the pallet by removing the lag screws.
Step 5 - Remove the front 4 x 4 shipping skid by removing the lag screws. The shipping pallet may now be “rocked” forward on the center skid allowing the power conditioner to roll off the pallet onto the floor.
Refer to the diagram in Figure E on page 16 for unpacking power conditioners 25 kVA and larger. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (preferably power) and a band cutter or metal snips. Follow these seven steps.
Step 1 - Remove the top of the packing crate by removing the screws that secure the top to the four sides of the crate. Once the screws are removed the top may be lifted off the crate and set to one side.
