Receiving & Installation

Receiving & Inspection

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 of the control is important. It should be installed in an area that is

 

protected from direct sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic

 

particles, and vibration.

 

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.

At least two inches clearance must be provided 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 Display.

 

4.

Altitude derating. Up to 3300 feet (1000 meters), no derating required. Above

 

 

3300 feet, derate peak 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 output current by 2% per ° C above 40° C.

 

 

Maximum ambient is 55° C.
