4.1 Control system assembly
Warning!
The control system must be checked for any transport or other damages prior to
assembly!
Touching electronic parts, in particular the processor circuit parts, must be avoided.
Electronic parts can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharges.
The system must be kept at zero-potential during the assembly of the control system.
The control system must be assembled in a way that is mechanically free of distortion.
Unused cable entry points must be replaced with sealing plugs in order to guarantee the
housing‘s safety class.
The cables may not be exposed to any mechanical tensile loading.
If the control system is assembled on a conductive surface, this surface must be
connected to PE with an adequate ground wire connection. The control system‘s cooling
element
does not
constitute such a ground wire connection on its own.
The control system is mounted using four cylinder head screws with a diameter of 4 mm.
The control system is intended for vertical mounting.

Note:
The control system‘s cooling element warms up during operation. Thus, adequate thermal
coupling of the cooling element must be taken into consideration. A form-fitting connection of the
cooling element with a heat-dissipating metal surface is ideal. The mounting of the control system on a
flammable surface (e.g. wood) is not permitted.
With regard to non-heat-dissipating surfaces, the control system must be mounted with clearance with
distance bolts. Air space of at least 10 cm must be planned above and below the control system for
convection. Insufficient heat dissipation can negatively impact the control
system‘s function.
In the event of continuous operation, the cooling element can reach up to 65°C. The frequency
converter turns itself off at higher temperatures.
