3.2. Pre-installation
3.2.1. Planning the Installation Site
NB!
Before performing the installation it is important to plan the installation of the fre-
quency converter. Neglecting this may result in extra work during and after instal-
lation.
Select the best possible operation site by considering the following (see details on
the following pages, and the respective Design Guides):
•
Ambient operating temperature
•
Installation method
•
How to cool the unit
•
Position of the frequency converter
•
Cable routing
•
Ensure the power source supplies the correct voltage and necessary current
•
Ensure that the motor current rating is within the maximum current from the frequency
converter
•
If the frequency converter is without built-in fuses, ensure that the external fuses are
rated correctly.
3.2.2. Receiving the Frequency Converter
When receiving the frequency converter please make sure that the packaging is intact, and be
aware of any damage that might have occurred to the unit during transport. In case damage has
occurred, contact immediately the shipping company to claim the damage.
3.2.3. Transportation and Unpacking
Before unpacking the frequency converter it is recommended that it is located as close as possible
to the final installation site.
Remove the cardboard box and handle the frequency converter on the pallet, as long as possible.
Remark: The card box cover contains a drilling master for the mounting holes.
