Physical Installation
Environmental Requirements
The drive is intended for operation in ambient temperatures from -13 °F to 104 °F (-25 °C to 40 °C). Use the
following recommendations when selecting a location to mount the drive:
•
The drive electronics are air-cooled. Allow at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance on
all sides of the unit for air flow.
Special Considerations for Outdoor Use
The drive is suitable for outdoor use with a NEMA 3R rating; however, the following consid
-
erations should be made for outdoor installations:
•
Mount the drive on a wall or back plate that is at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) larger than
the outer dimensions of the enclosure in order to maintain the NEMA 3R rating.
•
The unit must be mounted vertically with the wiring end oriented downward, and the
cover must be properly secured (also applies to indoor installations).
•
NEMA 3R enclosures are capable of withstanding downward-directed rain only. Pro
-
tect from hose-directed or sprayed water as well as blowing rain. Failure to do so may
result in drive failure.
•
Install away from direct sunlight or locations subject to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
Mounting the Drive
The mounting location should have nearby access to an appropriate electrical supply and access to the
motor wiring. Refer to
“Electrical Installation” on page 2
Use lag screws or bolts appropriate for supporting the weight of the drive.
Risk of damage to drive
,
or malfunction can occur due to improper handling,
installation, or environment.
•
Do not mount VFD on equipment with excessive vibration.
•
Install in a location where temperature is within the range of product rating.
•
Mount VFD vertically (top up) for proper heat dissipation.
•
Do not mount VFD in direct sunlight or near other heat sources.
•
Do not install in corrosive environments.
•
Install at least 18” (45.7 cm) above the ground.
•
Installation of non-approved screening may damage the drive and/or reduce output.

Risk of bodily injury or damage to drive or other equipment.
•
The drive should be mounted on a structure such as a wall or post capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
Refer to the owner’s manual for drive weight.
•
Install VFD on a non-combustible surface.
•
Ensure suitable mounting hardware is used when installing the drive.
•
Do not install the drive on unreinforced drywall.
•
Use two persons when lifting the drive for transport or installation. If using lifting equipment, it must be in
good condition and rated for at least 5 times the weight of the drive.
•
Wear protective gloves while installing the drive to guard against sharp edges.
