2.4 - Installation
2.4.1 - General
POWERDRIVE MD2CS drives are IP00 protection
products, designed to be installed in a cabinet with
limit access to only habilited and trained personnel.
POWERDRIVE MD2CS
drives must be installed in a clean
environment, away from conducting dust, corrosive gas and
dripping water.
Implementations presented in this document are given
as an indication. It is imperative to respect the cooling
conditions of the product.
To allow proper circulation of air, 250mm minimum must be
maintained between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling. If
several POWERDRIVE MD2CS are installed side by side,
each drive must have at least the surfaces of air inlet and
outlet indicated below.
WARNING:
To ensure correct operation of the drive, it is essential to
follow the instructions given below.
2.4.2 - Air flow
Comply with the min./max. dimensions of the ventilation grids
given on the diagrams below (applicable to a single drive).
Ensure that the air intakes and outlets on the cabinet are
never obstructed, and that the filters on the ventilation grids
permit the air flow rate defined in section 2.6 (recommended
filters: Rittal SK3362 or equivalent).
Depending on the degree of protection of the cabinet (e.g.
IP21, IP54, etc), check that the air flow circulates normally
and that the flow rate is high enough.
If ventilation grids are placed on air outlet, the free space has
to be at least the indicated surface.
