supports equipment using 120/208 V ac.
Do not allow DISE
or POISE feeder/distribution center or cable connectors to
be submerged in water.
Death or severe injury may result.
a.
Take special precautions to keep DISE and PDISE feeder/distribution
centers dry.
If possible, provide a shelter for the centers.
If a sheltered
area is not available, cover the centers with canvas.
b.
Do not allow feeder/distribution centers or cable connectors to be
submerged in water.
c.
Cap unused connectors to protect against moisture.
d.
Close and latch the feeder/distribution centers lids to protect
against moisture.
e.
If DISE or PDISE equipment is operated in a saltwater area for an
extended period of time, perform the following at weekly intervals:
(1) Shut down the DISE or PDISE network generator sets.
(2) Disconnect the DISE or PDISE feeder/distribution center from the
cables.
(3) Clean the face of the circuit breakers with a dry rag (item 8,
App E).
(4) Wipe internal and external surfaces of the feeder/distribution
center with a damp, clean rag (item 8, App E).

OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT (Above 120° F [49° C]).
DISE and PDISE should not be exposed to direct sunlight. DISE and PDISE
boxes should be placed in the shade or shade should be created, especially when
supplying power to equipment needing uninterrupted power.
To reduce the
effects of heat absorption, DISE and PDISE should be placed on the shady side
of a building or structure, under canvas or camouflage, or in a tent.
The DISE
and PDISE boxes need to be well ventilated.
