TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Installation & Maintenance Instructions

Check cabinet and parts for any potential shipping damage
If any damage is observed, report immediately to the delivering carrier and file a freight claim. If possible take photographs as evidence of the damage
For any repair or replacement, contact Applied Motor Controls’ home office
Do not return panel or parts unless written authorization is provided

Fasten cabinet to a solid mounting surface, and level the panel to allow for proper operation of its door
When conduit enters through the top, a properly sized and sealed conduit hub must be used to prevent leakage into the cabinet interior
Check supply power and confirm that it matches the panel and motor voltage
INSPECT AND TIGHTEN ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BEFORE ENERGIZING PAN-EL. FOLLOW THE TORQUE VALUES GIVEN FOR EACH TERMINAL/DEVICE. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN CONNECTIONS
Terminate power supply cable at line terminal of main disconnect. Measure line-to-line and line-to-ground voltage values
Prior to connecting the motor cables, test the motor starter operation. Close the pan-el door and turn the power on, then turn the Hand/off/Auto to the “hand” mode. The motor starter should energize and close.
If motor starter does not energize, check for power continuity, blown fuses, and check starter coil voltage. Call the factory for technical support if necessary
Tighten line and load cables according to the given torque values to prevent over-heating
Use 75°C copper cable only
Follow motor manufacturer’s instructions for proper grounding of motor cables
Operate disconnect handle mechanism on the door to insure that interlock mecha-nism operates properly and it prevents door from opening when the handle is in the ON position
If an overload relay with adjustable trip point has been provided, set the trip point to match the Full Load Amps shown on the motor data nameplate

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK – More than one disconnect may be required to de-energized the equipment before servicing
Inspect panel periodically to insure that all moving parts operate freely
Interior should be kept clean. Excess dust, insects, debris, and foreign materials must be removed routinely
Inspect magnetic contactor contact points for wear at least once every six months. Worn contact points must be replaced. Contact points can be cleaned with an appro-priate cleaner, but must never be filed
Visually inspect all cable terminations. Discoloring of any terminal or wire indicates a loose connection
TIGHTEN ALL CONNECTIONS TO PREVENT CABLE AND TERMINAL OVERHEATING

When replacement of any part is necessary, the replacement part must be of the same electrical ratings and characteristics
