Inverters 2 1 Grounding e Always connect temperature and sensor shields to earth ground e Avoid mixing high voltage wiring with sensor and low voltage wiring e Keep the controller as far as possible from heavy contactor boxes and other sources of electrical interference e Do not connect communication wire shields which go from one house to another at both ends Connect them at one end only Connection at both ends can cause ground loop currents to flow which reduce reliability e The COM connection for communications is not the shield wire The COM RX and TX wires must connect to each other at all controllers 2 2 Filtering If this installation includes a power inverter to drive variable speed fans install an EMI filter in front of the inverter according to the specifications provided by the inverter manufacturer Refer to the inverter documentation 2 3 Checking the Battery Level Check the battery once a year The output must be 2 7 volts minimum Authorized personnel only must replace the battery if the output is below the minimum required level or every five years 2 4 Frequency Inverters Frequency inverters can cause severe electrical and electromagnetic interference Therefore when employing a frequency inverter it is critical that you carefully follow the manufacturer s installation instructions In particular verify e that the cable shielding between the inverter and any motor meets industry standards e proper
