Thismanualprovidesa brief installation and commissioning guide for the FraserIONFIX PROStatic
Generatorproduct range(30and60kVvariants).Pleaserefertothefullmanualforinformationonall
functionsofthegeneratorand detailed instructions for remote interfacing and machinery integration.
Installation
• Installationmustonlybecarriedoutbysuitably qualified personnel.
• Thegeneratormust be earthed via both the power cable and externalearthwire.
• Disconnectthemainspowercablebeforestartinganywork on the generator.
• Connectonlyapprovedchargingelectrodestothegenerator.
• Donottouchthechargingelectrode(s)whenenergised.
• Refertothefullmanualfordetailedinstallationinstructions.
1. Ensurethatthegeneratoris correctly earthed as described above.
2. Securelymountthegeneratorin a visible, accessible and stable location using the supplied
mountingbracketsifnecessary.Ensurethatthelocationiscleananddry.
3. Connectthechargingelectrode(s)totheHVoutputsocketsattherearofthegenerator.The4
socketsareconnectedtogetherinternally.
• DonotrouteHVcablesneartosharpmetalcomponents.
• AvoidbendsorkinksintheHVcables.
• RouteHVcablesseparatelyfrom low-voltagecables.
• KeepHV cables as short as practicallypossible.
4. Ifusingtheremoteinterface,connectthecabletotheD-typeconnector.Fordetails, see ‘Remote
Interface’sectionofthefullgeneratormanual.
5. Connectthepowercabletothegeneratorand connect it to the mains supply.
