SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

•Turn the input power off at the dis- connect switch before attempting to connect or disconnect input power lines, output cables or control cables.

•Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.

•Connect the green or green/yellow lead of the power cord to ground per U.S.National Electrical Code.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

The Invertec POWER WAVE® 405M will operate in harsh environments. Even so, it is important that sim- ple preventative measures are followed in order to

assure long life and reliable operation.

•The machine must be located where there is free cir- culation of clean air such that air movement in the back, out the sides and bottom will not be restricted.

•Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shutdown.

•Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do not place on wet ground or in puddles.

•DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.

CAUTION

Where there is a combustible surface directly under stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface shall be covered with a steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not less than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

STACKING

POWER WAVE® 405M cannot be stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface or on a recommended undercarriage. The machine may topple over if this procedure is not followed.

INPUT AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS

•Only a qualified electrician should connect the Invertec POWER WAVE® 405M. Installation should be made in accordance with the appropriate National Electrical Code, all local codes and the information detailed below.

•When received directly from the factory, multiple voltage machines are internally connected for 400VAC. If 400VAC is the desired input, then the machine may be connected to the power system without any setup required inside the machine.

•Initial 200VAC - 230VAC operation will require an Input voltage panel setup.

•Open the access panel on the rear of the machine.

•For 200 or 230: Position the large switch to 200- 230.

•For higher voltages: Position the large switch to greater than 380.

•Move the "A" lead to the appropriate terminal.

POWER CORD CONNECTION

A 10ft.(3.5m) power cord is provided and wired into the machine. Follow the power cord connection instructions.

CAUTION

•Incorrect connection may result in equipment damage.
