Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Ensure the soft starter is mounted in a vertical position within an adequately ventilated enclosure to dissipate heat generated during operation.
• Clearance: Follow the manufacturer's specified spacing requirements above and below the unit to prevent thermal faults.
• Grounding: Connect the soft starter chassis to a common protective earth bus to maintain electromagnetic compatibility and safety.
• Wiring: Use appropriately sized power cables and ensure all terminal connections are torqued to specifications to prevent overheating.
• Contactors: When using with TeSys D or F-line contactors, verify the correct wiring configuration for the bypass or isolation setup as required by the application.
