General recommendations
The compressor terminal box has a wiring diagram on the inside of its cover. Before connecting
the compressor, ensure the supply voltage, the phases and the frequency match the nameplate
data.
When the compressor is shipped the motor protector is mounted in the terminal box. The
thermistors are factory connected. The power supply and the control circuit must be wired
according to the wiring diagram (see wiring diagram on the inside of the terminal box lid).
