Receiving and Unpacking

Upon receipt of the product, you should immediately do the following:

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.

Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase
order.

Confirm that the ratings nameplate on the unit matches or is greater
than the motor's HP and current rating with which it is to be used.
2.2

Choosing a Location

Proper location of the TE Series is necessary to achieve specified
performance and normal operational lifetime. The TE Series should
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:

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)

Protected from rain, moisture and direct sun.

Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing

Free from metallic particles, conductive dust and corrosive gas.

Free from excessive vibration. (below 0.5G)

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.

Throughout all sizes, maximum heat dissipation of the TE...-BP
Series electronics, contactor coils and fans is less than 50W.

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.

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.

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.

Prior to beginning the installation, verify that the motor and TE
Series unit are rated for the proper amperage and voltage.
