Read this entire installation section before you
start installation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Have an electrician install and ser-
vice this equipment.
• Turn the input power off at the fuse
box, disconnect supply lines and
allow machine to sit for five minutes
minimum to allow the power capaci-
tors to discharge before working
inside this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
The Invertec will operate in harsh environments. Even
so, it is important that simple 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
sides and out the sides 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.
• The machines have a protection rating of IP23. Keep
the machines dry when possible. Do not place them
on wet ground or in puddles.
STACKING
These Invertecs cannot be stacked.
TILTING
Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface.
The machine may topple over if this procedure is not
followed.
HIGH FREQUENCY PRECAUTIONS
If possible locate the Invertec away from radio con-
trolled machinery. The normal operation of the
Invertec may adversely affect the operation of RF con-
trolled equipment, which may result in bodily injury or
damage to the equipment.
INPUT SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Be sure the voltage, phase and frequency of the input
power is as specified on the rating plate, located on
the rear of the machine.
Both models are supplied with an input supply cable
with a molded plug. The V130-S has a 50A molded
plug and the V100-S is shipped with a molded 15A
plug and an additional 20A plug that can replace the
15A plug when necessary to achieve 85A output. To
install the supplied 20A plug: Connect the white (neu-
tral) wire under terminal clamp with silver screw, and
black (hot) wire under terminal clamp with brass
screw. Connect green wire under terminal clamp with
green screw. Tighten terminal wire clamp screws
securely. WARNING: Failure to wire as instructed
may cause personal injury or damage to equipment.
To be installed or checked by an electrician or quali-
fied person only. In order to achieve full output from
the V100-S it is necessary to attach a 30A plug
(NEMA 5-30P).
INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE
Refer to the Technical Specifications pages at the
beginning of this chapter for the proper fuse sizes and
supply cable sizes.
• Fuse the input circuit with recommended super lag
fuses or delay type circuit breakers.
• Install the proper fuse in the fuse holder in the main
disconnect panel.
