INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
 51107367M0 Rev. A0 10/2002

1.-INTRODUCTION.

During the functioning of any item of HV equipment, certain elements of the unit are live, others may be
subject to either continuous or occasional movement, and some components may reach relatively high
temperatures. As a consequence of these factors, use of the unit implies certain electrical, mechanical and/or
heat-related hazards.

With the intention of providing an adequate level of protection for both staff and plant equipment, the
development and construction of MESA products is guided by the principle of integral safety, based on the
SWITCH DISCONNECTOR following criteria:

- The elimination of hazards wherever possible.

TYPES :
S2D to 24kV - When this is not technically and/or economically viable, the fitting of adequate safety devices to the unit.

S3D to 38kV - The provision of information on possible risks for the purposes of establishing operating procedures
designed to avoid hazards, facilitate operating staff safety training programmes and promote the use of
proper protective clothing and similar equipment.
INTRUCTIONS MANUAL
Ensure therefore that only properly trained and/or supervised persons are allowed to work on or near the
equipment described in this manual (as stipulated by (EN 50110). All operating staff should be familiar with
the instructions and the safety precautions contained therein, along with any applicable general precautions
51107367M0 Rev. A0 based on current legislation (legislation covering accident prevention and safety at work, and any safety and
hygiene laws that may apply).

Please observe this point carefully, as the safe and correct functioning of this equipment depends not only on
its design, but also on general circumstances beyond the control and responsibility of the manufacturer - with
particular reference to:

- Observance of adequate transport and handling procedures between the factory and installation site.
INDEX:
- Intermediate storage in conditions that will not result in alteration to or deterioration of any of the functions

3.- HANDLING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE IMPORTANT NOTE

3.1.- Delivery DO NOT USE THE CONNECTION-POINTS TO RAISE THE

APPARATUS. FOLLOW FIGURE 11
The S2D & S3D switches may be delivered in seafreight or standard packaging, depending on the final
destination. (packaging specifications by consultation).
Carriage is the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise specified. For this reason, the supplier accepts
no liability whatsoever for any situation that may arise while the delivery is in transit. Please contact the
insurer or carrier directly in the event of any problem.

Packaging instructions must be followed during handling.

Items supplied for export are covered by the international INCOTERMS rules.

3.2.- Lifting and transporting the unit

Please follow the instructions indicated on the crates:

The apparatus must be lifted in the packaging to the nearest possible point to the post. (figure 9)
A forklift truck or crane hoist is sufficient for moving and handling the unit.
Important:
Avoid any impacts or sudden movements that may damage components.
Do not leave the packing cases in any inadequate location such as on an unstable surface.
Do not slide the units down sloping floor areas or stairways.
3.3.- Checking at the arrival
Please carry out a check immediately after delivery to ensure that the items supplied match the items listed in
the delivery note and order documentation.
You are advised to carry out a visual check to ensure that the units have not suffered any damage in transit.
If you find any damaged items, please contact the insurer and make the corresponding claim.

Before carrying out this inspection, please unpack the unit following the instructions given in section 3.4.
Now inspect the delivery to ensure that each item is correctly identified, and check the following items:
- The details shown on the nameplate should match the order specifications.
- All accessories included in the order should be present.

In the event of any anomaly, please make out a report in collaboration with the carrier.The report should
indicate the order number and give details of the damage and how it was caused.

All damage reports and compensation claims MUST be submitted to MESA within the guarantee period to

3.4. Unpacking the unit. 3.5- Storage.

The unit should be unpacked with great care in order to avoid breakage or deformation of the conducting - The switch will be stored in its original packing.
components of the switch.
- It is not advisable to store the units in sealed seaworthy packing for more than a period of six months,
This should be carried out as follows: (standard) counted from the moment of dispatch from MESA.

1. The apparatus, with its packing, must be deposited as close as possible to the post and parallel to the
line. The space between the post and the apparatus must be sufficient to allow operation of the lifting
equipment.
2 Remove top and side panels from upper section, from transverse supports onwards. Loosen the screws
fixing apparatus to packaging.
Once the packaging is open as indicated, release low tension cable leaving it tight so that the centre of
gravity of the apparatus is not affected. Never let the switch rest on the ground, as this could damage the
connecting cables.
- Protect from corrosive atmospheres such as chemical agents: cement dust, acid emissions, smoke, saline
atmospheres, etc
- Store all items in a dry, well-ventilated place.
- Ensure that all components are stored carefully, stacked or grouped in a way corresponding to their
installed locations.
- Items stored for a long period should be cleaned and lubricated, following the instructions given in the
maintenance section (section 7) of this document, before being used.

- Check battery status and cable set (apparent shock, good connection and in working order).

CAUTION:
- The battery must not be stored for more than 3 months without being recharged.
- To help conserve the battery, do not use a car-type battery charger; use the EASERY T200 P unit
itself to recharge batteries.

4.- INSTALLATION

4.1.- General conditions

The minimum conditions corresponding to the point of installation should conform to HV rules contained in
ITC 15 (applicable in Spain) or to the rules applicable in the destination country.

4.2.- Fitting the unit

4.2.1. Work under voltage

In case of doing works with current, it is necessary that the transformer receives simultaneously currents
over its terminals to avoid induced currents. These currents would damage the transformer. We advise you to
do the installation of the voltage transformer without current.
