SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• TURN THE INPUT POWER OFF AT
THE DISCONNECT SWITCH BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT OR DIS-
CONNECT INPUT POWER LINES,
OUTPUT CABLES, OR CONTROL CABLES.
• Only qualified personnel should perform this
installation.
• Connect the green or green/yellow lead of the
power cord to ground per U.S.National
Electrical Code.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

The Invertec POWER WAVE 355M will operate in
harsh environments. Even so, it is important that sim-
ple preventative measures are followed in order to
assure long life and reliable operation.
• The machine must be located where there is free cir-
culation of clean air such that air movement in the
back, out the sides and bottom will not be restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe
these precautions can result in excessive operating
temperatures and nuisance shutdown.
• Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do
not place on wet ground or in puddles.
• DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
CAUTION
Where there is a combustible surface
directly under stationary or fixed elec-
trical equipment, that surface shall be
covered with a steel plate at least
.06"(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend
not less than 5.90"(150mm) beyond the equipment
on all sides.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

STACKING

POWER WAVE 355M cannot be stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface
or on a recommended undercarriage. The machine
may topple over if this procedure is not followed.

INPUT AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS

• Only a qualified electrician should connect the
Invertec POWER WAVE 355M. Installation should
be made in accordance with the appropriate
National Electrical Code, all local codes and the
information detailed below.
• When received directly from the factory, multiple
voltage machines are internally connected for
460VAC. If 460VAC is the desired input, then the
machine may be connected to the power system
without any setup required inside the machine.
INSTALLATION
• Initial 200VAC - 415VAC and 575VAC operation
will require an Input voltage panel setup.
• Open the access panel on the rear of the machine.
• For 200 or 230: Position the large switch to 200-
230.
• For higher voltages: Position the large switch to
380-575.
• Move the "A" lead to the appropriate terminal.

POWER CORD CONNECTION

A 10 ft.(3.5m) power cord is provided and wired into
the machine. Follow the power cord connection
instructions.
• Incorrect connection may result in equipment
damage.
