Legend, safety instructions
Legend, safety instructions
This operating manual contains information you must observe for your own
personal safety and to prevent material or property damage. The information
concerning your own personal safety is emphasised with awarning triangle.
Information about material or property damage without personal injury
appears without awarning triangle. Depending on the hazard class, the
warning information is shown as follows in descending order.
Danger
Means that death or serious bodily injury will occur if the
appropriate precautionary measures are not met.
Warning
Means that death or serious bodily injury can occur if the
appropriate precautionary measures are not met.
Caution
Means that minor bodily injury can occur if the appropriate
precautionary measures are not met.
Important
Means that property damage can occur if the appropriate
precautionary measures are not met.
Note
Means that an unexpected event or condition can arise if the
appropriate information is not followed.
If more than one hazard class arises, the warning level with the highest level
is always the one used. If awarning of injury to personnel in awarning notice
with warning triangle appears, an additional warning about material or
property damage can be attached to the same warning notice.

MAPLA- Modular energy supply system for load lifting magnets
Important information and notes
1 Important information and notes
1.1 Qualied personnel
The unit or system may be installed and operated in connection with this
manual. Installation, commissioning and operation of aunit or system must
only be performed by qualied personnel.
Qualied personnel within the meaning of the technical safety information
in this manual are persons with the authorisation to put devices, systems
and circuits into service, to ground them, and to label them, according to
technical safety standards.
1.2 Intended use
The iMAPLA system described in this manual is amodular energy generation
system for lifting magnets.
The iMAPLA system is designed for use as apermanently installed power
generation system in excavators or material folding machine.
yThe GTS iMAPLA system is only for use for suitable lifting magnets with
suitable rated voltage. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions from
the supplier of the lifting magnet and their safety instructions.
yOnly use the iMAPLA system according to the voltage and performance
data on the rating plate.
yDo not connect the iMAPLA system to other power distribution or
generation systems (e.g.domestic installations, power distributors on
building sites, other generators or the public electricity supply network).
yOperate the iMAPLA system at the nominal speed.
yOnly connect an appropriate lifting magnet to the control unit. Before
using ohmic or other loads, consult the manufacturer on their suitability
for use. Changes in circuits - parallel or between controller and lifting
magnet are not allowed.
yConnecting dierent iMAPLA systems in parallel or with other systems is
not allowed.

Page 7Issue 08/2013
Important information and notes
yThe GTS iMAPLA system is also available as asingle-bearing variant upon
request. Normally they are connected directly to combustion engines.
When used in this way, the manufacturer must be consulted on the
suitability for use and the drive design.
yUse the iMAPLA system exclusively for the uses indicated here and only
in accordance with the entries in this uses indicated here and only in
accordance with the information in this operating manual. All other uses
are not as intended and are not allowed.
Generator. Technik. Systeme. GmbH&Co. KG cannot assume any liability for
the improper use or misuse of the iMAPLA system or individual components.
1.3 Validity of the manual
This manual applies exclusively for the iMAPLA systems of the following
types which are delivered complete with the associated switch boxes and
are exclusively for use as permanently installed power generation systems in
excavators or material handling machines for lifting magnets. In this manual,
the dierent generator types are distinguished by their type designation and
their model.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical changes.

Safety instructions
2 Safety instructions
The generally valid safety instructions are included in this chapter. Before
the installation, commissioning and use of the iMAPLA system read this
operating manual completely and carefully, and follow the instructions
herein. This safety instructions also appears in the relevant areas of the text
in the manual.
Important
►Before the installation, and use of the iMAPLA system read
this operating manual completely and carefully, and follow
the instructions herein.
►Use the iMAPLA system exclusively for use indicated in
the “Intended use” chapters and only according to the
information in the operating manuals.
Danger
Danger to life through electric shock
yDuring operation, the iMAPLA system generates potentially
fatal electrical voltages.
yAll work on the iMAPLA system, visual inspections for
maintenance purposes or cleaning work during operation of
the system can lead to potentially fatal injury through electric
shock.
►Switch o the drive unit before all inspection or
maintenance work on the generator or switch box. Secure
the drive unit before being switched on accidentally
(e.g.remove the ignition key and keep it in asafe place).
►Never plug in or undo plug connections during operation.
►Touch the iMAPLA system or devices connected to the
system never touch the iMAPLA system with wet hands
during operation.
