Lamar Technologies CA 1550 - Manual (Page 6)

2. INSTALLATION
Connect the unit to a wall outlet with a 15-20 ampere capacity. Sharing of the line
with other equipment may result in erratic operation if other equipment draws high
pulse or surge currents.
NOTE: The CA-1550 will maintain its operational integrity
with line fluctuation less than ± 10%.
2.2 TERMINALS
Two important points about the DC battery cable and connector are:
A. If the aircraft battery quick disconnect connector is removed, the ring
terminals can be used to connect to a post terminal battery.
WARNING: Correct polarity must be observed.
B. If the cable is extended or repaired during maintenance, the sensing leads
which run with the heavy DC cable must be connected to the new terminal
(see section 5.6).
2.3 SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The CA-1550 system comes in a sturdy transit case. It occupies 17" x 20" (432 mm x
508 mm) of table top space. Place the unit on a sturdy workbench in a well-
ventilated area with the battery adjacent to it.
The top of the unit has air flow from hot resistors. Always leave the cover open and
the resistor vent uncovered when in operation, to maintain proper air flow.
NOTE: In non air-conditioned rooms it is recommended
that circulating or extracting fans be used to aid in the
removal of heated air.
NOTE: Operation in dusty or otherwise dirty air
environments will severely reduce the cooling capacity of
the fans and can lead to premature failure.
