4.7 Mounting the Drive
Depending on the drive model and configuration, the
drive can floor-mounted or wall-mounted.
Drive models D1h–D2h and D5h–D8h can be floor
mounted. Floor-mounted drives require space below the
drive for airflow. To provide this space, the drives can be
mounted on a pedestal. The D7h and D8h drives come
with a standard pedestal. Optional pedestal kits are
available for other D-sized drives.
Drives in enclosure sizes D1h–D6h can be wall-mounted.
Drive models D3h and D4h are P20/Chassis drives, which
can be mounted on a wall or on a mounting plate within a
cabinet.
Creating cable openings
Before attaching the pedestal or mounting the drive,
create cable openings in the gland plate and install it at
the bottom of the drive. The gland plate provides access
for AC mains and motor cable entry while maintaining
IP21/IP54 (Type 1/Type 12) protection ratings. For gland
plate dimensions, see
chapter 10.9 Enclosure Dimensions .
•
If the gland plate is a metal plate, punch cable
entry holes in the plate with a sheet metal
punch. Insert cable fittings into the holes. See
Illustration 4.4 .
•
If the gland plate is plastic, punch out plastic tabs
to accommodate the cables. See
Illustration 4.5 .
