System Design Guidelines
Use the information in this section when designing your enclosure and planning
to mount your system components on the panel.

System Mounting Requirements
•
To comply with UL and CE requirements, the Kinetix 3 system must be
enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering protection as
defined in standard EN 60529 (IEC 529) to IP55 such that they are not
accessible to an operator or unskilled person. A NEMA 4X enclosure
exceeds these requirements providing protection to IP66.
•
The panel you install inside the enclosure for mounting your system
components must be on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that is not be subjected
to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive vapors.
•
Size the drive enclosure so as not to exceed the maximum ambient
temperature rating. Consider heat dissipation specifications for all drive
components.

ATTENTION: Plan the installation of your system so that you can perform all
cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with the system removed from the
enclosure. Because the system is of the open type construction, be careful to
keep any metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign matter
can become lodged in the circuitry that can result in damage to components.
