Special Considerations for Outdoor Use

The controller is suitable for outdoor use with a NEMA 3R rating; however, the following
considerations should be made when installing the controller outdoors:
• The unit MUST be mounted vertically with the wiring end oriented downward, and the cover
must be properly secured (also applies to indoor installations).
• The controller shall be mounted on a surface or back plate no smaller than the outer
dimensions of the controller enclosure.
• NEMA 3R enclosures are capable of withstanding downward-directed rain only. The
controller should be protected from hose-directed or sprayed water as well as blowing rain.
Failure to do so may result in controller failure.
• The controller should NOT be placed in direct sunlight or other locations subject to extreme
temperatures or humidity.
• Appropriate screening should be used for the air inlet and outlet when installed in areas
where insect or small animal intrusion is an issue. See Accessories page for ordering
information. Caution: Installation of non-approved screening may damage the drive and/or
reduce drive output. Screens should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure proper airflow
needed to cool the controller.

protection by preventing motor current from exceeding
the maximum Service Factor Amps (SFA). Motor
overtemperature sensing is not provided by the drive.
