Mechanical Information and Mounting
This chapter provides information to be considered when planning EC Titanium installation site and provides mounting
information and site requirements. If problems arise after installation, please refer to the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
section of this manual.
3.1 Receiving and Inspection
The EC Titanium is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment. When you receive your motor or
the integrated motor and drive, there are several things you should do immediately.
1. Carefully Unpack the EC Titanium and check for any signs of damage. Notify the shipper immediately if any exist.
2. Check the motor and / or motor and drive rating label to ensure it is of the correct type and power requirements for the
application.
3. If the control is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a clean and dry environment and
within a temperature range of -40ºC to +60ºC.
4. After storage or after unpacking and inspection to see that all parts are in good condition, rotate the motor shaft by hand
to be sure there are no obstructions to free rotation.
3.2 Mounting Location
Select a mounting surface for the EC Titanium that allows installation using the mounting holes provided. The area selected
should allow for free air circulation around the control. Provide at least two inches of clearance on all sides for maximum
cooling efficiency and verify that the operating environment is free of dirt and debris.
Vibration Considerations
Excessive vibration can cause failure of the control when used as an Integrated Motor
and Drive. If the control is subjected to vibration levels greater than 1G at 10 to 60 Hz, the
control must be shock mounted.
Altitude Derating Ratings apply to 3300 feet (1000 meters) altitude with no derating required. For
installations at higher altitudes de-rate the continuous and peak output currents of the
control by 1% for each 330 feet (100 meters) above 3300 feet up to a maximum of 6600
feed (2000 meters).
Temperature Derating
Control ratings apply to 40°C. De-rate output by 2% per °C above 40°C. Maximum
ambient is 50°C.
Caution: Avoid locating the EC Titanium immediately above or beside heat generating equipment, or directly
below water or steam pipes.
3.3 Wiring Considerations
All electrical connections should be made as detailed in Chapter 4. All external wires for the EC Titanium should be run in a
conduit that is separate from all other wiring.
3.4 Motor Mounting and Lifting Positions
Stock EC Titanium Motors are designed to be mounted by the “Mounting Feet” or a Face Mounting such as a C-Face with
or without feet. Use appropriate hardware (not furnished). The motor should be installed in a location compatible with the
motor enclosure and specific ambient. The motor must be securely installed to a rigid foundation or mounting surface to
minimize vibration and maintain alignment between the motor and shaft load. Failure to provide a proper mounting surface
may cause vibration, misalignment and bearing damage. All hold down bolts must be the correct grade for the type of
mounting and must be torqued to their recommended value.
The standard motor base is designed for horizontal or vertical mounting.
Belted Drive Motor slide bases or rails, when used, must be securely anchored to the foundation with
the proper bolts. The motor shaft and the load shaft must be parallel and the sheaves
alligned.
Coupled Drive
Standard EC Titanium Motors will operate successfully mounted on the floor, wall or
ceiling, and with the shaft at any angle from horizontal to vertical. Special mountings may
have duty or thrust demand that may require a different bearing system.
Note: The motor should be positioned in normal operation with provided drains in the downward position at
the lowest point of the motor to prevent water accumulation inside the motor. Mounting the motor in
a non-horizontal position may require additional bearing sealing or a shaft guard / slinger to meet the
designated IP requirements.
