Pentair PENTEK PPC7 Série Manuel D'installation page 2

Safety
Read the Owner's Manual and related documentation
carefully before attempting to install or operate the
PENTEK Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). Make sure
that you have a full knowledge of the equipment,
safety information, and instructions before using this
product. Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in
this manual and on the VFD.
This is the safety-alert. When you see this symbol on
your VFD or in this manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert to the potential for
personal injury:
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause
serious personal injury, death or major property damage if
ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can cause
minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The word NOTE indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
To avoid serious or fatal personal injury and possible
property damage, carefully read and follow the safety
instructions.
Risk of electrical shock if the front cover of
the VFD is open or removed while the power is on or the
inverter is running. The front cover of the VFD must be
closed during operation.
Risk of electrical shock if the front cover
is opened or removed while the inverter circuits are
charged, even though the power is off to the unit.
• Before starting any wiring or inspection procedures,
allow at least 10 minutes for the capacitor to discharge
after turning off the power to the VFD. Capacitor voltage
is dangerous and lasts for some
time after the power is turned off.
• After allowing at least 10 minutes for the capacitor to
discharge and before starting any wiring or inspection
procedures, check for residual voltage with a voltage
tester.
Risk of electrical shock if VFD is connected
to the power wiring before hanging the box. Always hang
the VFD box before connecting the wires to it.
Risk of electrical shock if the VFD is handled
or service with wet or damp hands. Always make sure
your hands are dry before working on the VFD. Perform all
dial setting and keying operations with dry hands.
Risk of electrical shock. Do not change the
cooling fan while power is on to the VFD.
Risk of electrical shock. Do not touch the
printed circuit board when power is on to the VFD.
Risk of electrical shock. When measuring
the main circuit capacitor capacity, do not touch the motor
terminal immediately after powering off. DC voltage is
applied to the motor for one second at powering off and
will energize the terminal.
Fire hazard if installed with incorrect or
inadequate circuit breaker protection. To make sure of
protection in the event of an internal fault in the VFD,
install the VFD on an independent branch circuit protected
by a 15 amp circuit breaker (Model PPC7-1-7A3, – 1/2 to 1
HP) or a 30 amp circuit breaker (Model PPC7-1-13A2, 1-1/2
and 2 HP), with no other appliances on the circuit.
Risk of component explosion and fire
if the cables are connected incorrectly or the wrong
voltage is applied. Apply only the voltage specified to each
terminal. Connect cables to the correct terminals
as specified in this manual.
Risk of burns. The drive (inverter) can become
hot during normal operation. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes
after shut-down before handling it to avoid burns.
California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the inverter or problems with
the drive:
• Connect the output cables to the motor as follows: Red
to U, Black to V, Yellow to W. Any other order will
reverse the motor rotation and may damage the motor.
• Do not modify the equipment.
• Do not use power factor correction capacitors with this
VFD; they will damage both the motor and the VFD.
• Do not remove any parts unless instructed to do so
in the owner's manual.
• Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter for
frequent starting/stopping of the inverter.
• Do not install or operate the VFD if it is damaged or
parts are missing.
• Before starting a VFD that has been stored for a long
time, always inspect it and test operation.
• Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance)
test on the control circuit of the inverter.
• Do not allow foreign objects which can conduct
electricity (such as screws and metal fragments) inside
the VFD box at any time. Do not allow flammable
substances (such as oil) inside the VFD box at any time.
Ground the VFD according to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code Section 250, IEC 536 Class 1, or
the Canadian Electrical Code (as applicable) ,
and any other codes and ordinances that apply.
All installation, service work, and inspections must
be done by a qualified electrician.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual or on drive.
