Pre Installation Checks
Prior to installing the drive into the electrical cabinet, check the information on the designation
label (located on the side of the drive). Please refer to section
3.3 AMD5x Variant Identification
Check that drive was not damaged during transport. If there are signs of damage the drive may
not be safe to use. Please notify shipping agent immediately of the damage and DO NOT
install the drive into the electrical cabinet.
Warning:
To avoid injury when handling the drives, wear appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
Remove any trip hazards that could result in dropping the drive and causing injury.

Requirements
Installation Site
4.3.1
The following is a set of requirements on the installation site. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
drive failure or degraded operation.
The AMD5x Series Servo Drive, PIU and Capacitor Module must be permanently fixed in an
enclosed electrical cabinet and fitted by trained, qualified personnel. The electrical cabinet must
be designed to provide access protection, with access only possible with a use of a tool or after
de-energization of the live parts.
for the correct installation process.
The safety precautions outlined in
must be understood and adhered to.
The operating environment must not contain corrosive substances, metal particles, dust,
flammable substances or gases.
Ensure that there are no devices mounted adjacent to the drives or PIU that produce magnetic
fields which cause heating or electronic interference.
The maximum recommended operating altitude is 1000m above sea level. Consult ANCA
Motion for ratings at higher altitudes.
The AMD5x must be installed in a cabinet or enclosure of rating IP54 or higher. Higher IP
ratings may be required depending on application.
Avoid any rework of the electrical cabinet / gear tray whilst the drive system is installed. Care
must be taken not to install small components directly above the drive system to avoid small
parts from falling into the heatsink.
The electrical cabinet and gear tray must be designed to suit either the Duct, Wall or Recessed
Mount variants. It is not possible to interchange these units as the height of the busbars and or
heatsink hole cut outs in the gear tray will be affected.
