Select the best possible operation site by considering the following (see details on the following pages and in the respective Design
Guides):
• Ambient operating temperature
• Installation method
• How to cool the unit
• Position of the adjustable frequency drive.
• Cable routing
• Ensure the power source supplies the correct voltage and necessary current.
• Ensure that the motor current rating is within the maximum current from the adjustable frequency drive.
• If the adjustable frequency drive is without built-in fuses, ensure that the external fuses are rated correctly.

3.2.2 Receiving the Adjustable Frequency Drive

When receiving the adjustable frequency drive, make sure that the packaging is intact, and look for any damage that might have occurred to the unit
during transport. If damage has occurred, immediately contact the shipping company to make a damage claim.

Before unpacking the adjustable frequency drive, it is recommended to locate it as close as possible to the final installation site.
Remove the box and handle the adjustable frequency drive while it is still on the pallet, as long as possible.
