Controller Location Selection - Franklin Electric Fhoton Drive Guide D'installation

Controller Location Selection

The Fhoton™ Drive is intended for operation in ambient temperatures up to 122 °F
(50 °C). The following recommendations will help in the selection of the proper location for the Fhoton™ Drive (Figure 3):
1. The unit should be mounted on a sturdy supporting structure such as a wall or supporting post. Please take into account the
weight of the unit.
2. The electronics inside the Fhoton™ Drive are air-cooled. As a result, there should be at least 18 in. (45.7 cm) both above and below
to allow for air flow and proper cooling. If the Fhoton™ Drive is mounted under the PV solar array, make sure that it is at least 18
in. (45.7 cm) beneath the array.
3. The Fhoton™ Drive should be mounted with the wiring end oriented downward. The controller should not be placed in direct
sunlight. Placing the controller in direct sunlight or high ambient temperatures could result in reduced performance due to
temperature shutdown protection. For optimum performance, maximize the shading of the controller.
Additional Considerations for NEMA 4 (IP66) Enclosures
To ensure maximum weather protection, the unit must be mounted vertically with the cover properly aligned and secured with all lid
screws. Strain relief fittings, or IP66 rated liquid-tight conduit fittings, should be used to bring the wires inside the enclosure.
