Receiving & Inspection
The Series 15P Inverter control is thoroughly tested at the factory and
carefully packaged for shipment. When you receive your control, there are
several things you should do immediately.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.
2. Verify that the control you received is the same as listed on your
purchase order.
3. If the control is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it
is stored in a location that conforms to published storage specifications.
(Refer to Section 6 of this manual).
Physical Installation
The mounting location is important. The control should be installed in an
area that is protected from direct sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or
liquids, dust, metallic particles and vibration. Exposure to these elements
can reduce the operating life and degrade performance of the control.
Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location
for installation:
1. For effective cooling and maintenance, the control should be mounted
on a smooth, non-flammable vertical surface. Table 3-1 lists the Watts
Loss ratings for enclosure sizing.
2. Provide at least two inches of clearance on all sides for airflow.
3. Front access must be provided to allow the control cover to be opened
or removed for service and to allow viewing of the Keypad LEDs.
4. Altitude derating. Up to 3300 feet (1000 meters), no derating required.
Above 3300 feet, derate peak or continuous output current by 2% for
each 1000 feet above 3300 feet.
5. Temperature derating. Up to 40°C, no derating required. Above 40°C,
derate peak or continuous output current by 2% per °C above 40°C.
Maximum ambient is 55°C.
