Installation
Degree of Protection The SMC-Flex soft starters have an IP00 or IP2X protection rating,
depending on the size. Taking into account the ambient conditions,
the device must be installed in IP54 (Type 2) switchgear cabinets.
Make sure that no dust, liquids, or conductive parts can enter the soft
starter. Soft starter operation produces waste heat (heat loss). See
Table 2.A or Specifications on page A-9, for details.
Receiving It is the user’s responsibility to thoroughly inspect the equipment
before accepting the shipment from the freight company. Check the
item(s) received against the purchase order. If any items are damaged,
it is the responsibility of the user not to accept delivery until the
freight agent has noted the damage on the freight bill. Should any
concealed damage be found during unpacking, it is again the
responsibility of the user to notify the freight agent. The shipping
container must be left intact and the freight agent should be requested
to make a visual inspection of the equipment.
Unpacking Remove all packing material, wedges, or braces from within and
around the controller.
Inspecting After unpacking, check the item(s’) nameplate catalog number
against the purchase order.
