3. Receiving and Installation
3.1 Preliminary Inspection
Before storing or installing the Vacon 50X AC drive, thoroughly inspect the device for possible shipping
damage. Upon receipt:
1. Remove the drive from its package and inspect exterior for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, no-
tify the shipping agent and your sales representative.
2. Remove the cover and inspect the drive for any apparent damage or foreign objects. (See Figure 7 on
page 21 for locations of cover screws.) Ensure that all mounting hardware and terminal connection
hardware is properly seated, securely fastened, and undamaged.
3. Read the technical data label affixed to the drive and ensure that the correct horsepower and input volt-
age for the application has been purchased.
4. If you will be storing the drive after receipt, place it in its original packaging and store it in a clean, dry
place free from direct sunlight or corrosive fumes, where the ambient temperature is not less than –20
°C (–4 °F) or greater than +65 °C (+149 °F).
3.2 Installation Precautions
Improper installation of the Vacon 50X AC drive will greatly reduce its life. Be sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions when selecting a mounting location. Failure to observe these precautions may void the
warranty!
• Do not install the drive in a place subjected to high temperature, high humidity,
excessive vibration, corrosive gases or liquids, or airborne dust or metallic
particles. See Chapter 2 for temperature, humidity, and maximum vibration limits.
• Do not mount the drive near heat-radiating elements or in direct sunlight.
• Mount the drive vertically and do not restrict the air flow to the heat sink fins.
• The drive generates heat. Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat dissipation.
See “Dissipation Requirements” on page 20.
