Planning the Installation
This chapter provides how to plan a LiquiFlo drive installation.
3.1 General Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to properly plan before installing a LiquiFlo drive to ensure that the
drive’s environment and operating conditions are satisfactory. Read the following
recommendations before continuing with drive installation.
3.1.1 Making Sure Environmental Conditions are Met
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
• Verify that open-chassis style drives can be kept clean and dry. LiquiFlo drives must
be placed in an enclosure.
• The area chosen should allow the space required for proper air flow as defined in
section 3.1.3.
• Be sure that open-chassis style drives are installed away from oil, coolants, or other
airborne contaminants.

ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards involved
should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and
understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: When the level-sense start feature is enabled (P.054 =
ON), the user must ensure that automatic start up of the driven equipment
will not cause injury to operating personnel or damage to the driven
equipment. In addition, the user is responsible for providing suitable
audible or visual alarms or other devices to indicate that this function is
enabled and the drive may start at any moment. Refer to the
LiquiFlo Software Start-Up and Reference manual for additional
information. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe
bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Use of power correction capacitors on the output of the
drive can result in erratic operation of the motor, nuisance tripping, and/or
permanent damage to the drive. Remove power correction capacitors
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all applicable
local, national, and international codes. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
