Chapter 2 - Installation
2.1 Receiving and Unpacking
Upon receipt of the product, you should immediately do the following:
Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for
shipping damage. If damaged, notify the freight carrier and file a
claim within 15 days of receipt.
Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase
order.
Confirm that the ratings nameplate on the unit match or are greater
than the motors’ HP and current rating with which it is to be used.
2.2 Choosing a Location
Proper location of the TE2 Series is necessary to achieve specified
performance and normal operational lifetime. The TE2 Series should
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:
Ambient operating temperature: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
Protected from rain, moisture, and direct sun.
Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing.
Free from metallic particles, conductive dust, and corrosive gas.
Free from excessive vibration. (below 0.5G)
Open panel units must be mounted in the appropriate type of
enclosure. Enclosure size and type must be suitable to dissipate
heat generated by the soft starter and any other components
mounted inside with it.
Care should always be taken to maximize the available space
inside of the enclosure. See section 2.5.1 or contact factory for
assistance in sizing enclosures.
2.3 Initial Unit Inspection
Make a complete visual check of the unit for damage that may have
occurred during shipping and handling. Do not attempt to continue
installation or start up the unit if it is damaged.
Check for loose mechanical assemblies or broken wires which may
have occurred during transportation or handling. Loose electrical
connections will increase resistance and cause the unit to function
improperly.
Prior to beginning the installation, verify that the motor and TE2
Series unit is rated for the proper amperage and voltage.
