GE Industrial Solutions ASTAT-XT RVSS PANEL - Manual (Page 7)

DEH40620 - Page 5 AN BL-0464, Rev.02, 04/15/2012
ASTAT-XT RVSS PANEL
Size wire according to local and national codes.
All field signal wiring must be twisted and shielded. All shields must be
grounded at one point ONLY. It is recommended to terminate the shield
drains at the signal’s source. Avoid routing signal wiring with power wiring. If
signal wiring is routed with control wiring a minimum separation of one (1)
inch is required.
Astat-xt RVSS Panels require no additional control wiring to operate properly.
Additional control interfacing to your Bypass & Non Bypass panels can be
accomplished through the panel mounted customer terminal board “CTB”.
Please reference the appropriate wiring diagram. Torque values for
connecting to “CTB” are located in the Appendices.
If your application requires wiring to the Astat-xtRVSS Starter I/O control
terminal board, use 20 to 28 AWG wire.
Connections on the inverter I/O terminal board should be tight enough such
that a slight tug on the wire will not result in the wire coming partially or
completely out of the terminal board.
MISCELLANEOUS
INFORMATION If your enclosure is equipped with forced ventilation for keeping the starter
and other components within their thermal recommendations, the cooling
fan(s) used to ventilate your enclosure also need to be cleaned periodically.
Cleaning the cooling fan(s) is recommended to keep the proper amount of air
circulating through the enclosure.
GE recommends that all power connections be checked for proper tightness
every 6 months due to thermal cycling that may occur during normal
operation.
INSPECTION #2
Prior to start-up of your Astat-xtRVSS panel inspect the following:

The mechanical installation for any safety and local or national code
violation.

The electrical installation for proper connections and any violation of local
or national code.

Proper grounding of equipment.

All field wiring for tight and proper connections (no split wire ends that
may come in contact with adjacent connection points).

No loose hardware, metal shavings, or wiring chips.

All factory wiring for proper tightness that may have became loose due to
shipping vibration.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten terminal board connectors, damage to
the equipment may occur.
