SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
The Invertec POWER WAVE F355i will operate in
harsh environments. Even so, it is important that sim-
ple preventative measures are followed in order to
assure long life and reliable operation.
• The machine must be located where there is free cir-
culation of clean air such that air movement in the
back, out the sides and bottom will not be restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe
these precautions can result in excessive operating
temperatures and nuisance shutdown.
• Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do
not place on wet ground or in puddles.
• DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly
under stationary or fixed electrical equipment,
that surface shall be covered with a steel plate at
least .06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not
less than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on
all sides.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
STACKING
POWER WAVE F355i can not be stacked.
TILTING
Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface
or on a recommended undercarriage. The machine
may topple over if this procedure is not followed.
INPUT AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS
• Only a qualified electrician should connect the
Invertec POWER WAVE F355i. Installation should
be made in accordance with the appropriate
National Electrical Code, all local codes and the

• When received directly from the factory, multiple
voltage machines are internally connected for
460VAC. If 460VAC is the desired input, then the
machine may be connected to the power system
without any setup required inside the machine.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Turn the input power off at the dis-
connect switch before attempting
to connect or disconnect input
power lines, output cables or con-
trol cables
• Only qualified personnel should perform this
installation.
• Connect the green lead of the power cord to
ground per U.S.National Electrical Code.
