Pentair Pentek Solar Drive Installation Requirements - Pentair PENTEK PSD25PB Manual De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

Pentair Pentek
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive must be installed in a shaded location, away from any source of heat and
moisture, and in an area free of vegetation. Measures must also be made to protect the unit from damage
by unauthorized persons, large animals, overgrowth, flooding, or other harm.
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive has voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock. It should only be installed and serviced by Pentair authorized suppliers, dealers and installers.
– Contact your Pentair Supplier/Dealer for any service or warranty claims
– NEC codes take precedence over suggestions in this manual
– We strongly recommend that the installation data be recorded into the "Installation Notes" section
on page 16 and that the manual is stored near the unit
- The installation requires a DC disconnect
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive should be mounted at least 2 feet (60cm) above the ground when possible.
A minimum of 10 inches (25cm) of clearance above the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive is required for internal
access. There must be no obstruction of air flow to the heat sink. A typical installation on an array
structure is shown in Figure 3, below.
Once the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive is installed in a shaded location (see Figure 3), it can be wired to AC
(grid) and DC (solar) sources. Maximum cable lengths for 115 and 230Vac for different motor load currents
are shown in Figure 2 below.
This unit was evaluated for temperature rating of 60/75°C (140/167˚F) on power field wiring terminals.
