DANGER !
Installation and/or removal of this product should only be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with National Electrical Code or local
codes and regulations.
Proper installation of the M3460 ride-thru should be accomplished by following the steps
outlined below. Be sure to refer to the AC drive instruction manual as these steps are
performed. Please direct all installation inquiries that may arise during the installation and
startup of this product to the equipment supplier or system integrator. Please read this
manual completely before designing the drive system or enclosure layout to ensure all
required elements are included.
3.1. E
NVIRONMENT
The installation site for M3460 should be chosen with several considerations in mind:
1. The unit has a NEMA 1 enclosure rating and will therefore require some protection
from the elements.
2. Conduit access for field wiring may be provided on the top-right surface of the
enclosure if desired.
3. The unit will require a minimum clearance of two (2) inches in all directions around
it when mounted near a non-heat source.
4. The mounting surface should be clean and dry.
The maximum ambient operating temperature of the M3460 should not exceed 40

C.
Temperatures above this can cause overheating during operation.
The standby heat production of the M3460 is quite low, but can generate significant
heat during boosting. This is only of concern with the M3460B models because the
M3460R run time of 2 seconds will not allow the system to reach thermal equilibrium,
and should not cause thermal issues.
3.2. U
NPACKING
Inspect the shipping crate and M3460 for damage.
Notify the shipping carrier if damage is found.
3.3. M
OUNTING
Mounting dimensions can be found in Section 6.4.
Once the installation site has been selected as outlined above, the unit should be
mounted in place. The enclosure
is provided with (4) 7/16” diameter mounting holes.
Mounting holes should be drilled and mounting studs or anchors installed before
positioning the enclosure. Mounting hardware is not supplied.
