Installation and
Wiring
Inspection
Before installing the controller, make a complete visual check of the controller for
damage in shipment or handling. Claims for damaged or missing parts must be
made to the carrier as soon as possible after receipt of shipment.
Enclosures
The open-style controller can be installed in an enclosure. The internal
temperature of the enclosure must be kept within the range of 0°C to 50°C.
Ventilated Enclosures
For NEMA Type 1 enclosures, the following guidelines are recommended in order
to limit the maximum controller ambient temperature.
There should be a clearance of at least six inches above and below the controller.
This area allows air to flow through the heatsink. Ventilation openings are required
above and below this air space.
An outlet should be placed at least six inches above the controller. The inlet should
be placed near the bottom of the enclosure. It should be capable of accepting a fan
rated 110 CFM or greater. A filter is required to prevent contaminants from
entering the enclosure.
The minimum vent area should be ten square inches. For the 97 and 135 amp
controller, the minimum vent area should be 36 square inches. Deductions must be
made for the grill work or ventilation pattern.
CAUTION: When thermal overload relays are installed in the same
enclosure, a barrier should be provided around the relay. However, this
should not inhibit air flow on forced air cooled units (97 and 135A).
!
The following table shows the maximum heat dissipation at rated current for the
controllers. For currents lower than rated value, heat dissipation will be lower.

Non-ventilated
Enclosures
For NEMA Type 12 or non-ventilated enclosures, it is recommended that a by-pass
contactor be used. This will allow the controller to start the motor. Once up to full
voltage, the controller would be by-passed. Note that the energy saver and
protective features of the controller would no longer be available. See Page 2-5,
Figure 2.10 for this configuration.
Mounting
The controller is convection cooled except for the 97A and 135A fan cooled unit. It
is important to locate the controller in a position which allows free air flow
vertically through the power module. The controller must be mounted with
heatsink fins in a vertical plane and have a minimum of 6 inches free
space above and below the controller. See Figure 2.2.

Control Power
Control voltage: 100–240 VAC, (+10/–15%), 1 phase, 50/60 Hz. Connect control
power to the controller at terminals 10 and 60. The control power requirement is 30
VA. In addition, 45 VA capacity is required to operate the heatsink fan on the 97
and 135 Amp controller. Additional control circuit transformer VA capacity may be
required depending on the specific application.
Use the following figure as a guide for control wiring:

The wiring of the control circuit depends on the specific application. Typical
connections for a number of typical applications are shown in Figures 2.7 through
2.12.
Fan Power
The 97 and 135 Amp controllers have a heatsink fan which requires an additional
45VA capacity. To gain access to the fan connection, see Figure 2.6.
CAUTION: The fan jumpers have been factory installed for 110/120
VAC input. Refer to Figure 2.6 for optional 220/240 VAC fan wiring.
After control wiring is complete, replace control terminal strip cover.

NOTE: Jumpers have been factory installed for 110/120 VAC input.

Contactor
Figure 2.8 shows a typical connection of standard unit for use with an isolation
contactor. Starting and stopping of the motor is controlled by the controller. The
controller also controls the electromechanical contactor. The contactor provides
isolation between the motor and the power lines when the controller is “OFF.”
!
WARNING: When not using an isolation contactor, hazardous voltages are present at the load terminals
of the controller when the controller is turned off. Warning labels must be attached to the motor
terminal box, the controller enclosure, and the control station. Additional circuitry must be included to
provide automatic isolation.
