The Powerhouse Charging Station is the perfect companion
for your T3 Thermal Imager. Designed to safely house and
charge the T3 and an accompanying battery, the
Powerhouse ensures that your T3 will always be ready for
action.
Using the Powerhouse as a free-standing unit:
NOTE
Although the Powerhouse is designed for
permanent vehicle installation, Bullard also
provides an optional adapter kit for unattached,
free-standing use. As a free-standing unit, the
Powerhouse cannot provide secure storage of
the thermal imager and its spare battery in a
vehicle in accordance with NFPA 1901-10-1.7.
Free-standing use is not recommended for
vehicles. The adapter kit includes a back cover
panel, rubber feet, an AC power adapter and
necessary wiring connectors.
Installation
The Powerhouse is designed to be mounted on any
convenient flat panel surface in a vehicle. When installed
and used in accordance with these instructions, the unit is
designed to comply with NFPA 1901-10-1.7 (see caution for
proper installation).
Location: Select a conveniently located, flat panel surface
of sufficient size to accommodate the unit. If the optional,
detachable transmitter/handle is to be used with the
thermal imager, be sure to allow sufficient room (Figure 1)
for the handle which will protrude from the left side of the
unit when in place. The unit can be conveniently mounted in
various orientations; however, avoid mounting the unit in a
flat position with the open end facing either the front or
back part of the vehicle. These orientations do not comply
with NFPA 1901-10-1.7. As the required wiring enters the
unit from behind, (Figure 2) it is necessary to have
sufficient access to the area behind the panel to install the
wiring. In addition, the unit is secured to the panel by four
(4) stainless steel flat head screws which are provided
with the unit. These may be secured to the panel by drilling
and tapping holes in the panel (if it is thick enough to
accommodate the threaded holes), or alternately by means
of the four (4) hex nuts provided.
