The electrical system is designed for a main power supply of 120V / 60H / 150 Amps. This main power has to be locally provided.

Before setting up operation an initial electrical test according VDE 0100 part 610 and if requested also related to local requirements must take place including all prescribed test-charts.

Installation guide:
Electric Fountain is packed in three 40-foot sea containers. Without knowing all specifications, regulations of, and site conditions in situ of a place of exhibition it does not make sense to give a define information regarding the way of delivery of all equipment serving the site.

In general there are two main options:
(i) all sea containers are shipped to the site and have to be placed and to stay there during all installation & de-installation periods, which also means a crane for unloading / loading the containers from a truck has to provided
(ii) all sea containers are shipped to a specialized store, where they can be unpacked and where immediately after arrival all components can be checked regarding any transport damage, especially broken neon tubes. That way the site will be served by multi-deliveries and pick up of crates as needed and on time
Option (ii) is preferable.

A define installation planning and cost estimation is possible after a first site meeting.

For the overall success of the exhibition on time of its opening please note:

• the whole equipment should arrive at a local storage at least 4 weeks before starting the actual installation, to being able to properly check on all elements (first of all the neon tubes) after the shipment and to have enough time to being able to rework possible damages.

• the overall period for the installation should not be less than three weeks, providing some reasonable extra time in case the electrical system / lighting control needs some time for clearance
