2 General Instructions
•
Installation should be performed by authorized technicians only.
•
Verify that field components are working properly.
•
Apply all safety regulations.
•
Do not apply force or pressure on components during the installation procedure.
•
Refer to your supervisor if problems occur during installation procedure.
CAUTION
This unit must be installed inside, in a location protected from solar radiation and direct
rain.
•
2.1 Basic Requirements for On-Site Preparation
•
Verify power source between 115 VAC or 220 VAC ± 10%
•
On the unit is a silver label stating the unit’s voltage (110 or 230 VAC). Verify that your unit
supports the voltage supplied in your country.
•
Verify grounding connection < 10Ω
•
Environment temperature between -10° C / 14° F to +60° C / 140° F
•
Verify protection from damaging climate conditions
2.2 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:
o
that the cable shielding between the inverter and any motor meets industry standards
o
proper grounding of the inverter's chassis and motor power cable
o
proper grounding of low voltage cable shield wire
o
that the controller and inverter cables are kept in separate conduits or wire bundles

3.3 Firmware Upgrade
The Bootloader application enables installing or updating the system firmware. The application is menu
based and simple to use and enables updating the firmware from an SD card.
NOTE Verify that the card is in place before starting.
NOTE Green Field ECO supports up to 4 GB SD cards.
3.3.1
NTRODUCTION TO/GUIDELINES FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES
•
While upgrading the firmware, a qualified Munters technician:
o
must be on site
o
must verify that the process is complete; verification includes checking all accessories
connected to the controller.
•
By default, in all sessions the controller returns to automatic mode. The technician must verify
that there are no manual mode devices in the field.
•
After upgrading the firmware the technician must upload settings and data from a data plug to
the controller.
© Munters AB, 2018 13
o
In the event that the controller sends a message regarding incomplete information, the
technician must enter the missing information manually and verify that the information is
correct in the field.
CAUTION Any upgrade that is not performed in accordiance with these guidelines could result in
unforseen malfunctions in the field equipment. Munters will not take responsibility for these
issues.
