3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a description of the installation and the electrical con-
nections for the frequency inverter DC1 series.
3.2 Mounting
The instructional leaflets in this section are meant to show how to install the
device in a suitable enclosure for devices with protection type IP20 in compli-
ance with standard EN 60529 and/or any other applicable local regulations.
• The enclosures must be made of a material with high thermal conduc-
tivity.
• If a control panel with ventilation openings is used, the openings must
be located above and below the frequency inverter in order to allow for
proper air circulation. The air should come in from below the frequency
inverter and leave above it.
• If the environment outside the control panel contains dirt particles (e.g.,
dust), a suitable particulate filter must be placed on the ventilation open-
ings and forced ventilation must be used. The filters must be maintained
and cleaned if necessary.
• An appropriate enclosed control panel (without ventilation openings)
must be used in environments containing large percentages or amounts
of humidity, salt, or chemicals.
￫
While mounting and/or assembling the frequency inverter, cover
all ventilation slots in order to ensure that no foreign bodies can
enter the device.
￫
Perform all installation work with the specified tools and without
the use of excessive force.
