Installation and Wiring Chapter 2
Mount Orientation
The recommended mounting orientation of ArmorStart EtherNet/IP is the
vertical configuration. This is especially important for the Bulletin 284. This
ensures proper air flow over the heat sink. Improper mounting or debris build up
will reduce air flow and increased internal temperatures. This may reduce the
overall life of the product. For alternate mounting contact your local sales
representative.
Operation
The ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers can operate three-phase
squirrel-cage induction motors as follows:
Bulletin 280E/281E: 0.24…16 A; 200V AC, 230V AC, 460V AC; 50/60 Hz.
Bulletin 284E: up to 5 Hp (3.0 kW) @ 480V AC
The ArmorStart EtherNet/IP Distributed Motor Controller will accept a control
power input of 24V DC.
Wiring
Power, Control, Safety Monitor Inputs, and Ground Wiring
Table 2 provides the power, control, and ground wire capacity and the tightening
torque requirements. The power, control, ground, and safety monitor terminals
will accept a maximum of two wires per terminal.
IMPORTANT
For proper heat dissipation and product operation, mount in the vertical orientation
as shown.
