VFD. Using the WOP-20 with the IMPULSE•G+ Mini requires a remote mounting 
kit. It is recommended for the Series 4 & G+ Mini, that the WOP is mounted on a 
cabinet door for the best wireless connectivity. Before using VFD-controlled 
equipment, read and adhere to all guidelines given in the related technical 
manuals. The user should be trained, knowledgeable, and fully aware of all 
hazards associated with crane equipment: including hoists, lifting devices, and 
electrical controls.

When installing the system, follow wiring practices provided in the VFD technical 
manuals, while following all applicable electrical codes. Remove power to the 
VFD when installing. Ensure that the mounting of all components is secure and 
follow the installation considerations and environmental conditions for the VFDs.
