Transportation And Positioning Of The Light Tower Onto Vehicles; Installation - Atlas Copco HiLight E2 Manuel D'instructions

3.2.4 Transportation and positioning
of the light tower onto vehicles
Due to its compact and optimized design, the
HiLight E2 and E3+ offer a great transport efficiency.
The light tower can be easily lifted and moved to
difficult areas thanks to its central lifting eye and
forklift pockets in its frame. All that is needed is a
forklift truck or a mechanical arm.
The forklift pockets and the lifting eye can also be
used to place the light tower onto trucks for road
transportation. For safe transport of the light towers
on trucks or similar vehicles:
1. Ensure that the machine is stable and secure.
2. Check that the light tower is placed perfectly
horizontally (check the levels on top of the unit).
3. To ensure stability, use the fork lift slots (1) and
lifting eye (2) to fix the light tower to the transport
vehicle.
4. Use straps or other means of anchoring, provided
that these do not affect the machine's safe
transportation and integrity.
5. It is recommended that the machine is covered by
a tarpaulin to protect it against bad weather
conditions if it is transported on an open truck.

Installation

– Place the light tower on a horizontal, even and
solid floor. Check the levels on top of the light
tower to ensure its level position.
– Leave enough space for operation, inspection and
maintenance (at least 1 meter at each side).
– Check that the inner earthing system is in
compliance with the local legislation.

– Use a cable of suitable section to connect the PE
terminal to an earth plate that can ensure an earth
resistance suited to the characteristics of the light
tower.
– Check that the cable end of the earth pin is
connected to the earth terminal.
The light tower is wired for a TN-
system to IEC 364-3, i.e. one point in
the power source directly earthed -
in this case the neutral. The exposed
conductive parts of the electric
installation
connected to the functional earth.
– HiLight E2 and E3+ with IN/OUT sockets can be
connected in a row. The following cabling criteria
based on section and length are recommended:
• Maximum number of HiLight E2 with halide
floodlights in series: 4 units
• Maximum number of HiLight E3+ with LED
floodlights in series: 10 units
• For sections or distances out of the
recommendation please contact your Atlas
Copco technical service.
