5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Filter Installation
Matrix Filters are supplied in the following
mechanical configurations:
Panel mounted assemblies
Floor mounted general purpose NEMA 1, 2,
& 3R cabinets
Industrial style NEMA 1 cabinets with
hinged doors.
Panel mounted filters are designed for
mounting in the vertical plane in the customer’s
enclosure. Include the power dissipation of the
filter along with all the other components
located in the panel to determine the internal
temperature rise and cooling requirements of
the enclosure. Allow a minimum side clearance
of four (4) inches and a vertical clearance of
six (6) inches for proper heat dissipation and
access. Figure 7 through Figure 15 contain
outline drawings for the various ratings and
show proper mounting orientation. For 5%
filters, Model numbers beginning with 37GM5,
refer to Figure 15 and Table 5 for the
dimensions of the separately mounted input
reactor.
Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away
from direct sunlight, rain or moisture. Do not
install in or near a corrosive environment.
Avoid locations where the filter would be
subjected to excessive vibrations.
General purpose NEMA 1, 2, and 3R enclosed
filters are designed for floor mounting in the
vertical plane in an environment suitable for
the enclosure type. Do not install in or near a
corrosive environment. Avoid locations where
the filter would be subjected to excessive
vibrations. Allow a minimum side and back
clearance of eight (8) inches and front
clearance of thirty-six (36) inches for proper
heat dissipation and access. Table 6 will direct
you to the appropriate outline drawings shown
in Figure 16 through Figure 19.
Industrial style NEMA 1 enclosed filters are
designed for wall and floor mounting in the
vertical plane. Do not install in or near a
corrosive environment. Avoid locations where
the filter would be subjected to excessive
vibrations. For wall mounted enclosures allow
a minimum side clearance of eight (8) inches
and front clearance of forty-eight (48) inches
for proper heat dissipation and access. For
floor mounted enclosures allow a minimum
side and back clearance of eight (8) inches
and front clearance of forty-eight (48) inches
for proper heat dissipation and access. Table

will direct you to the appropriate outline
drawings shown in
