Mechanical Installation
This section outlines specifications, procedures, and environment for proper mechanical
installation of the drive.
u
Installation Environment
To help prolong the optimum performance life of the drive, install the drive in the proper
environment. The table below provides a description of the appropriate environment for the
drive.
Table 2.1 Installation Environment
Environment
Conditions
Installation Area
Indoors
Ambient
Temperature
IP20/NEMA Type 1 enclosure: -10 °C to +40 °C
IP20/IP00 Open-Chassis enclosure: -10 °C to +50 °C
Finless Type: IP20 enclosure: -10 °C to +50 °C
Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.
When using an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure
that the air temperature inside the enclosure does not exceed the specified levels.
Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.
Humidity
95% RH or less and free of condensation
Storage Temperature
-20 °C to +60 °C
Surrounding Area
Install the drive in an area free from:
• oil mist and dust
• metal shavings, oil, water or other foreign materials
• radioactive materials
• combustible materials (e.g., wood)
• harmful gases and liquids
• excessive vibration
• chlorides
• direct sunlight
Altitude
Up to 1000 meters without derating; up to 3000 meters with output current, ambient
temperature, and voltage derating.
Vibration
10 to 20 Hz at 9.8 m/s
2
20 to 55 Hz at 5.9 m/s
2
Orientation
Install the drive vertically to maintain maximum cooling effects.
NOTICE: Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings or wire clippings from falling into the drive during
installation and project construction. Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary
cover over the top of the drive during installation. Remove the temporary cover before startup, as the cover
will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.
NOTICE: Avoid placing drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive. Failure to
comply could result in erroneous operation. If such devices must be used in close proximity to the drive, take
proper steps to shield the drive from noise.
