5.2 Mandatory Installation Practices
The following information must be adhered to when installing the IPD. Failure to adhere to this
information may give rise to unsafe operation.
Using the IPD in a manner that exceeds its electrical, functional or physical specifications, or in a way
that is contrary to its operating restrictions, may create risks to personnel and/or equipment resulting in
injury or death.
The IPD must be powered within the specified voltage range.
The installation of the IPD must be carried out by suitably trained and qualified personnel.
Identification labels fixed to the IPD must not be damaged, removed or covered before, during or
after installation.
The installation is to be in accordance with the relevant installation Standards/Codes of Practice.
Modifications must not be made to any part of the IPD. As supplied, the unit is built to, and
complies with the relevant standards. Modifications to its construction will render the unit non-
compliant.
Complete and accurate records of the installation must be kept as part of the site installation.
The equipment is to be installed and maintained as per the conditions in the certification
documentation.
5.3 Mechanical Installation Information
5.3.1 IPD Integrated Protection Relay
The IPD Relay has a powder coated sheet steel enclosure designed to be mounted into existing
enclosures, i.e. flameproof equipment or other enclosures of adequate IP rating.
The relay is designed to operate when mounted either laid down flat or in a vertical position. Vent holes
are provided at both the top and bottom of the relay to assist in the cooling of the electronics inside the
relay. These vents should not be blocked or restricted in any way.
CAUTION!
The IPD should not be installed on its side
unless precautions are
taken to avoid overheating. Mounting in this manner will prevent air
from flowing through the IPD’s vents and
could cause the IPD relay to
overheat.
