Chapter 2 - Installation
 
2.1  
Receiving and Unpacking 
Upon receipt of the product, you should immediately do the following: 
ƒ  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). 
ƒ  Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase 
order. 
ƒ  Confirm that the ratings sticker on the unit matches or is greater 
than the motor’s HP and current rating.  
2.2  
Choosing a Location 
Proper location of the TE Series is necessary to achieve specified 
performance and normal operation lifetime. The TE Series should 
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist: 
ƒ  Ambient operating temperature: 
Panel (open chassis) unit: 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F) 
Enclosed unit: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) 
ƒ  Protected from rain, moisture and direct sun. 
ƒ  Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing 
ƒ  Free from metallic particles, conductive dust and corrosive gas 
ƒ  Free from excessive vibration (below 0.5G) 
ƒ  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.  
ƒ  Units with –BP Bypass Contactors produce less heat than units 
without. Throughout all sizes, maximum heat dissipation of the 
TE…-BP Series electronics, contactor coils and fans is less than 
50W. 
ƒ  Units without the –BP Bypass Contactor (optional on 210A and 
above), must have ventilation adequate to account for heat 
dissipation of the SCRs. This must be estimated at 4.5 watts per 
running load amp. For example, on a 200HP 460V motor with 
240FLA, the maximum heat dissipation of a starter w/o bypass will 
be 240 x 4.5, or 1080 watts of heat. Enclosure ventilation (or air 
conditioning) must be capable of dispersing this amount of heat.  
ƒ  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. 
ƒ  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. 
ƒ  Prior to beginning the installation, verify that the motor and TE 
Series unit are rated for the proper amperage and voltage.
