Vyper Pre-Installation and Pre-Operation Checklist
The.following.items.MUST.be.checked.and.completed.by.the.installer.prior.to.the.arrival.of.the.Frick.Field.Service.Supervisor..
Details.on.the.checklist.can.be.found.in.this.manual..Certain.items.on.this.checklist.will.be.re-verified.by.the.Frick.Field.Service.
Supervisor.prior.to.the.actual.start-up.
Vyper Pre-Installation Site Check List
Before.attempting.to.install.a.Vyper.Drive.system,.please.perform.a.site.inspection.to.assure.that.the.following.requirements.are.
met..(Where.Applicable)
--.Verify.that.the.coolant.(water.or.glycol).is.available.for.the.Vyper.heat.exchanger.connections..hard-pipe.the.coolant.
supply.in.accordance.to.all.local.and.national.piping.codes..Sufficient.coolant.flow.and.temperature.levels.must.be.
available.to.the.Vyper.VSD.at.installation..When.hard-piping.the.coolant.supply,.take.into.consideration.that.room.is.
required.in.order.to.add.coolant.to.the.system.
--.Verify.that.the.compressor.package.temperature.sensors.are.RFI.suppression.type.(639A0151G01)..
--.Incoming.power.cables.must.enter.through.the.access.plate.supplied.on.the.top.left.side.of.the.unit..This.access.plate.
MUST.BE.removed,.entry.holes.made.in.the.plate,.and.then.reinstalled..Power.cables.MUST.BE.in.accordance.with.
local.and.national.electrical.codes.and.current.safety.standards..See.“External.Power.And.Control.Wiring”.in.the.
INSTALLATION.section.of.this.manual..
--.Verify.that.the.power.cable.lengths.from.the.Vyper.to.the.compressor.motor.do.not.exceed.50.feet.(15.meters).and.the.
location.of.the.Vyper.is.suitable.for.mounting..
--.Verify.that.the.motor.is.suitable.for.Inverter.duty.service:.20-100%.Speed.(12-60.hz).or.50-100%.(30-60.hz).The.motor.
must.have.thermal.protection.per.NEC.2005..(RTD,.Thermostat,.Thermistor)..
--.Verify.that.the.ambient.temperature.remains.within.the.recommended.operating.range.of.40-135°F.(4-57°C)..If.the.drive.
is.to.operate.below.40°F.(4°C),.provide.enclosure.ambient.space.heating.
--.Verify.that.all.wiring.is.contained.in.metallic.conduit..Use.of.PVC.or.other.materials.is.not.acceptable.UNLESS.shielded.UL.
rated.power.cable.is.used..Follow.recommendations.of.“Proper.Installation.Of.Electronic.Equipment.In.An.Industrial.
Environment”.in.the.INSTALLATION.section.of.this.manual.
--.Verify.that.all.control.power.(120.VAC),.communications./.analog.wiring,.and.460.VAC.power.are.in.separate.metallic.
conduits..Properly.shielded.and.grounded.analog.cables.are.not.required.to.be.in.EMT.
Vyper Pre-Operation Site Check List
Prior.to.Quantum
™
LX.setup.and.starting.operation.of.the.Vyper.Drive.system,.review.the.following.checklist.to.ensure.all.instal-
lation.requirements.are.met..(Where.Applicable)
--.Environmental:
.
A:. Cleanliness.–.Keep.panel.doors.closed.and.ensure.that.construction.debris.is.kept.out.of.the.cabinet.
.
B:. Use.the.conduit.knockouts.provided..Avoid.metal.shavings.in.the.drive.enclosure..
.
C:. Clean.out.all.debris.with.a.low.power.magnet.or.a.vacuum.cleaner..
--.Mounting:.Verify.that.the.Vyper.Drive.is.properly.mounted:.to.the.floor.or.wall.for.remote.mounts.or.to.the.package.for.
package.mounted.units.
--.Verify.that.the.primary.water.or.glycol.coolant.supply.is.connected.to.the.heat.exchanger.at.the.recommended.flow.and.
temperature.recommendations.
--.Wiring.(use.“Proper.Installation.Of.Electronic.Equipment.In.An.Industrial.Environment”.in.the.INSTALLATION.section.of.
this.manual.as.a.guideline):
.
A:. Wiring.from.the.drive.to.the.motor.must.be.enclosed.in.a.grounded.metal.conduit.even.if.poured.in.a.concrete.floor...
Use.of.PVC.or.other.materials.is.not.acceptable.UNLESS.shielded.UL.rated.power.cable.is.used.
.
B:. Separate.grounded.metal.conduits.must.be.provided.for.input.power,.output.power,.and.control.wiring..Failure.to.
provide.separate.conduits.could.result.in.disruption.of.other.electrical.devices.due.to.harmonics.and.RFI./.EMI.gener-
ated.in.the.drive.
.
C:. Bond.all.conduit.to.the.cabinet.
.
D:. Protect.control.wires.(analog.and.digital).from.noise..Use.properly.shielded.and.grounded.analog.control.wires..Digital.
and.analog.control.wiring.must.be.separate.from.each.other.as.well.as.separate.from.3.phase.control.and.power.wir-
ing..Noisy.input.signals.will.cause.erratic.drive.operation..
.
E:. Verify.control.wiring.has.been.connected.from.the.Quantum
™
LX.panel.to.the.Vyper.in.accordance.with.the.engineer-
ing.drawings.for.the.specific.installation.
.
F:. Verify.power.wiring.has.been.connected.at.the.correct.connection.points.and.properly.seated.in.accordance.with.the.
provided.engineering.drawings.for.the.specific.installation.
--.Drain.the.shipping.coolant.from.the.Vyper.and.properly.dispose..Replace.with.running.coolant.(pink).and.purge.air.from.
the.cooling.system..Refer.to.“Replacing.Coolant”.in.the.OPERATION.section.of.this.manual..
