ergy being used and provide better temperature control. In addition, it reduces the mechanical and electrical stress on the motor and mechanical equipment. Electrical savings can be large during periods of low ambient temperature when the cooling requirement can be satisfied at reduced speeds. To benefit from these advantages, it is important that the drive be installed correctly.

Marley supplies VFD and VFD controls specifically designed for our cooling products. If you have purchased a Marley VFD and/or controls package, please follow the instructions in the User Manual for that system. Most VFD problems can be avoided by purchasing the Marley drive system. If you are installing a VFD other than the Marley drive, please refer to that drives installation manual.

Improper use of a VFD may cause damage to equipment or personal injury. Failure to correctly install the VFD drive will automatically void all warranties associated with the motor and any equipment that is either electrically or mechanically (directly) attached to the VFD drive system. The length of this warranty avoidance will be contingent on properly installing the VFD system and repairing any damage that may have occurred during its operation. SPX Cooling Technologies does not assume responsibility for any technical support or damages for problems associate with non-Marley brand VFD systems.

Changing the operational fan speed from the factory settings could cause the fan to operate in an unstable region which may result in damage to the equipment and possible injury.
