Is it just me or have others noticed a decline in user O & M documentation
for Square D? Is this becoming typical for the industry?
I just bought a SquareD Altivar 58 VFD and the O & M doc's that came with
the unit "suck", to put it mildly. There is no theory of operation. There
are no schematics; not even a simplified overview. The interface schematics
are bear bones. The instructions themselves are terse and bare bones. As
far as I could find, there is nothing better available on the web site. It
appears that the unit was meant to be setup/configured with a piece of
software that doesn't come with the unit.
The drive may work well (when I finally get it figured out) and appears to
be well made, but doc's are important. I hope there is a SquareD person on
the list that can pass this commnent on to someone with the authority to
improve things. I am really disappointed and I am sure it will weigh
heavily on my next purchase/specification.
