Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring
2.1 Ambient Conditions
Install the AC motor drive in an environment with the following conditions:
Operation
Air Temperature:
-10 ~ +40°C (14 ~ 104°F)
Relative Humidity:
<90%, no condensation allowed
Atmosphere pressure:
86 ~ 106 kPa
Installation Site Altitude:
<1000m
Vibration:
<20Hz: 9.80 m/s
2
(1G) max
20 ~ 50Hz: 5.88 m/s
2
(0.6G) max
Storage
Transportation
Temperature: -20°C
~
+60°C (-4°F ~ 140°F)
Relative Humidity:
<90%, no condensation allowed
Atmosphere pressure:
86 ~ 106 kPa
Vibration:
<20Hz: 9.80 m/s
2
(1G) max
20 ~ 50Hz: 5.88 m/s
2
(0.6G) max
Pollution Degree
2: good for a factory type environment.
CAUTION!
1.
Operating, storing or transporting the AC motor drive outside these conditions may cause
damage to the AC motor drive.
2.
Failure to observe these precautions may void the warranty!
2.2 Installation
1.
Mount the AC motor drive vertically on a flat vertical surface by using bolts or screws. Other
directions are not allowed.
2.
The AC motor drive will generate heat during operation. Allow sufficient space around the unit
for heat dissipation.
3.
The heat sink temperature may rise to 90°C when running. The material on which the AC motor
drive is mounted must be noncombustible and be able to withstand this high temperature.
4.
When the AC motor drive is installed in a confined space (e.g. cabinet), the surrounding
temperature must be within 10 ~ 40°C with good ventilation. DO NOT install the AC motor drive
in a space with bad ventilation.
