Receiving & Inspection
Baldor Controls are thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment. When you receive
your control, there are several things you should do immediately.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the
commercial carrier that delivered your control.
2. Remove the control from the shipping container and remove all packing materials. The container and
packing materials may be retained for future shipment.
3. Verify that the part number of the control you received is the same as the part number listed on your
purchase order.
4. Inspect the control for external physical damage that may have been sustained during shipment and
report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.
5. If the control is to be stored before use, be sure that it is stored in a location that conforms to
published storage humidity and temperature specifications stated in this manual.
Location Considerations The location of the control is important. Installation should be in an area that is protected from direct
sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, and vibration. Exposure to these can
reduce the operating life and degrade performance of the control.
Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for installation:
1. For effective cooling and maintenance, the control should be mounted vertically on a smooth
non-flammable surface.
2. At least 1.0 inches (25mm) top and bottom clearance must be provided for air flow. At least 0.4
inches (10mm) clearance is required between controls (each side).
3. Operating Altitude derating. Up to 1640 feet (500 meters) no derating required. Derate the
continuous and peak output current by 1% for each 660 feet (200 meters) above 1640 feet.
Maximum operating altitude 16,500 feet (5,000 meters).
4. Operating Temperature derating. 0°C to 45°C (Sizes 1, 2); 0°C to 40°C (Sizes 3,4,5) ambient.
Above rated temperature, derate the continuous and peak output current by 2% per °C above rating.
Maximum ambient is 55°C.
