Physical Installation
Environmental Requirements
The SubDrive Utility is intended for operation in ambient temperatures from -13 °F to 122 °F
(-25 °C to 50 °C). Use the following recommendations when selecting a location to mount the
drive:
•
The unit should be mounted on a structure such as a wall
or post capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
•
The SubDrive Utility electronics are air-cooled. Allow at
least 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance on each side and
18 inches (45.7 cm) below the unit for air flow.
•
The mounting location should have access to 115/230 VAC
electrical supply and to the motor wiring. To avoid possible
interference with other appliances, refer to
Special Considerations for Outdoor Use
The SubDrive Utility is suitable for outdoor use with a NEMA 3R
rating; however, the following considerations should be made
when installing the controller outdoors:
•
The unit must be mounted vertically with the wiring end
oriented downward, and the cover must be properly
secured (also applies to indoor installations).
•
Mount the drive on a surface or back plate no smaller than the outer dimensions of the enclo-
sure.
•
NEMA 3R enclosures are capable of withstanding downward-directed rain only. Protect from
hose-directed or sprayed water as well as blowing rain. Failure to do so may result in controller
failure.
•
Install away from direct sunlight or locations subject to extreme temperatures or humidity.
•
Use appropriate screening for the air inlet and outlet when installed in areas where insect or
small animal intrusion is an issue. Refer to
for ordering information.
•
Screens should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure proper airflow.
Risk of damage to
d
rive
,
or malfunction can occur due to improper handling,
installation, or environment.
•
Handle with care to prevent damage to the plastic components.
•
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.
•
Installation of non-approved screening may damage the drive and/or reduce output.
