3.3. Mechanical Installation
Preparation of the mechanical installation of the adjustable frequency drive must be done carefully
to ensure proper results and to avoid additional work during installation. Start by taking a close
look at the mechanical drawings at the end of this instruction manual to become familiar with the
space demands.
3.3.1. Tools Needed
To perform the mechanical installation, the following tools are needed:
•
Drill with 0.39 or 0.47 in [10 or 12 mm] drill.
•
Tape measure
•
Wrench with relevant metric sockets (7-17 mm)
•
Extensions to wrench
•
Sheet metal punch for conduits or cable glands in IP 21 and IP 54 units
•
Lifting bar to lift the unit (rod or tube Ø 0.75 in [20 mm]) able to lift minimum 880 lbs
[400 kg].
•
Crane or other lifting aid to place the adjustable frequency drive in position
•
A Torx T50 tool is needed to install the E1 enclosure in IP 21 and IP 54 enclosure types.
3.3.2. General Considerations
Space
Ensure proper clearance space above and below the adjustable frequency drive to allow airflow
and cable access. In addition, space in front of the unit must be considered to enable opening the
door of the panel.
3.4: Space in front of IP 21/IP 54 enclosure type
D1 and D2.
3.5: Space in front of IP 21/IP 54 enclosure type
E1.
