Installing the Drive
This chapter provides information that must be considered when planning a VS1STS drive installation and provides drive
mounting information and installation site requirements.
3.1 Receiving & Inspection
When you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that
delivered your control.
2. Remove the control from the shipping container and remove all packing materials from the control. The container and
packing materials may be retained for future shipment.
3. Verify that the part number of the control you received is the same as the part number listed on your purchase order.
4. Inspect the control for external physical damage that may have been sustained during shipment and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.
5. If the control is to be stored for several weeks before use, make sure that it is stored in a location that conforms to
published storage humidity and temperature specifications stated in this manual.
3.2 General Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to ensure that the drive’s environment and operating conditions are satisfactory. The area behind the drive
must be kept clear of all control and power wiring. Power connections may create electromagnetic fields that may interfere
with control wiring or components when run in close proximity to the drive. Read the recommendations in the following
sections before continuing with the drive installation.
3.2.1 Operating Conditions
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
•
Operating surrounding temperature must be within 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C).
If surrounding temperature exceeds 40°C, de-rate the output by 5% per °C above 40°C up to 55°C maximum surrounding
temperature.
•
Protect the cooling fan by avoiding dust or metallic particles.
•
Do not expose the drive to a corrosive atmosphere.
•
Protect the drive from moisture and direct sunlight.
•
Verify that the drive location will meet the environmental conditions.
