OPTIM FRS/FR P&P series
1.- VERIFICATION UPON RECEPTION
1.1.- RECEPTION PROTOCOL
Check the following points when you receive the device:
a) The device meets the specications described in your order.
b) The device has not suffered any damage during transport.
c) Perform an external visual inspection of the device prior to switching it on.
d) Check that it has been delivered with the following:
- The device manual
- The installed regulator manual.
If any problem is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport
company and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales service.
1.2.- TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the device must be car-
ried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual and mechanical
tools so as not to damage it.
If the device is not to be immediately installed, it must be stored at a location
with a rm and level oor, and the storage conditions listed in the technical
features section must be observed. In this case, it is recommended that the
device be stored with its original protective packaging.
To move the device a short distance, the device's oor support proles facilitate handling with a
pallet jack or forklift. (Figure 1)
Figure 1: Transport with pallet jack.
The centre of gravity of some devices may be found at a considerable height.
Therefore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended that the device be
securely fastened and that no abrupt manoeuvres made. The device should
not be lifted more than 20 cm off the ground
6
OPTIM FRS/FR P&P series
Instruction Manual
When unloading and moving the device, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the
entire length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long enough to support at least ¾
of said depth. The forks must be at and supported rmly by the base. Raise the cabinet by
placing the forks underneath the prole that supports the device. (Figure 2).
There might be an offset in the centre of gravity from the centre of the cabinet,
as a result of the uneven distribution of loads inside the device. The neces-
sary precautions must be taken to prevent the device from tipping over during
abrupt operations.
Figure 2: Unloading with a forklift.
1.3.- STORAGE
The following storage recommendations must be followed for the hybrid capacitor banks:
Avoid placing them on uneven surfaces.
Do not store them in outdoor areas, humid areas or areas exposed to splashing wa-
ter.
Avoid hot spots (maximum ambient temperature: 40 ºC)
Avoid salty and corrosive environments.
Avoid storing the devices in areas where a lot of dust is generated or where the
risk of chemical or other types of contamination is present.
Do not place any weight on top of the device cabinets.

2.- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this manual is to assist during the installation, start-up and maintenance of
OPTIM FRS/FR P&P series low voltage (LV) capacitor banks with detuned lters, switched by
contactors. Carefully read the manual to get the best performance from these devices.
3.- INSTALLATION
3.1.- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to use the device safely, it is critical that individuals who handle it follow
the safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used,
use the personal protective equipment necessary, and pay attention to the vari-
ous warnings indicated in this instruction manual.
Installation or maintenance personnel should read and understand this manual
before operating the device.
A copy of this manual should always be available to maintenance personnel for
reference purposes
Connecting the device to the public mains must be carried out in compliance with
the EN-IEC60204-1 standard, regarding the safety of LV electrical installations.
It is recommended that several personnel are present when handling the device
for installation or maintenance.
If damage or faults are detected during device operation, or in circumstances that
compromise safety, immediately stop work in that area and disconnect the device
in order to check it without voltage.
The manufacturer of the device is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure by the
user or installer to heed the warnings and/or recommendations set out in this manual, nor for
damage resulting from the use of products or accessories that did not come with the device or
that were made by other manufacturers.
If an anomaly or malfunction is detected in the device, do not use it to perform any operation.
Modifying, upgrading or rebuilding the device without written authorisation from
the manufacturer is prohibited.
The installation, operation and maintenance of low voltage (LV) devices must
only be carried out by authorised installers. LV regulations (Art. 22) specically
dene the requirements that authorised installers must meet.
Do not access the active elements of a capacitor bank with static operation that
has been powered and might have voltages present. Wait at least 5 minutes af-
ter the power supply has been disconnected.

OPTIM FRS/FR P&P series
Instruction Manual
Do not touch the terminals or active parts of the device until you have veried that
voltage is not present. If you have to handle or touch the terminals or other control
panel components, use adequately insulated personal protection equipment and
tools.
After any maintenance and before re-connecting the power supply to the device,
check that its enclosure is properly closed and that no items or tools were left
inside that could cause a short-circuit.
Do not disconnect the current transformer secondary without short-circuiting it
rst. The operation of a current transformer with an open secondary will cause an
overvoltage that could damage it and electrocute the person handling it.
3.2.- PREPARATION
The CIRCUTOR OPTIM FRS/FR P&P static capacitor banks come ready for easy installation
and start-up.
Remove the packaging of the device and verify that its electrical features are suitable for con-
nection to the available mains. To do so, check the features label located inside the cabinet next
to the regulator, see Figure 3.
Key data to be checked:
Mains frequency and voltage, Un / fn.
Nominal power of the capacitor bank, Qn (kvar) and composition.
Type of lter, identied by the factor p%.
Current consumption, In . This current must be considered to select the proper size
of the power supply cable of the device and ultimately the circuit breakers and protection
elements to be connected in front of it.
Auxiliary control voltage, Uaux.( See "3.7.- AUXILIARY CONTROL VOLTAGE”)
Environmental conditions. (See “6.- TECHNICAL FEATURES”)
Figure 3: Features label.

3.3.- PLACE OF INSTALLATION
It is important to maintain a minimum distance around the device to facilitate cooling.
In self-supporting cabinets, the back and front sides of the cabinet must be kept at least 50 cm
away from walls of other devices and structures to allow for ventilation.
In terms of the side walls, it is recommended that a separation of 10 cm be maintained between
adjacent cabinets.
On wall-mounted cabinets, it is recommended that at least 20 cm of separation be maintained
between the sides of adjacent cabinets.
Make sure the device can be accessed easily.
The environmental conditions of the place where the device is installed must not exceed the
limits set forth in the technical features (See "6.- TECHNICAL FEATURES”)
To ensure proper ventilation, the device must be installed in a vertical position.
In accordance with the LVR, once the device is installed it must be protected against direct
and indirect contacts; therefore, a circuit breaker and earth leakage protection for the capacitor
bank's power supply line should be installed.
