590+ Series DC Digital Converter
Mounting the Converter
General installation details are given below for mounting the Converter, however, if you are
installing the unit with an EMC filter refer to “External AC Supply EMC Filter Installation”,
page 3-25.
Mount the unit vertically on a solid, flat, vertical surface. It is mounted using bolts or screws into
four fixing points (keyhole slots). The design allows the use of 100mm grid fixing.
It must be mounted inside a suitable cubicle. To comply with the European safety standards VDE
0160 (1994)/EN50178 (1998), the cubicle must require a tool for opening.
Note:
Holes for the mounting bolts or screws must be placed accurately.
Cover any units all ready mounted to the panel while drilling mounting holes to protect them
from stray metal filings.
General Mounting Hints
Insert the mounting studs from the rear of the panel. Attach lock washers and nuts part way on to
the lower mounting studs; these will help to keep the drive in place when mounting.
Caution
Use proper lifting techniques when lifting and moving.
Lift the drive and engage the bottom slots safely on to the studs between the panel and lock
washers/nuts you have just fitted. Engage the top slots with the remaining mounting studs and
finger tighten the drive to the panel with lock washers and nuts. Finally, use the socket wrench to
tighten all nuts securely.
Check the drive and its housing for packing material, mounting debris, or any other material that
could damage and/or restrict the operation of the equipment.

Ventilation and Cooling Requirements
Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - Cooling.
The Converter gives off heat in normal operation and must therefore be mounted to allow the
free flow of air through the air entries and exits. Maintain the minimum air clearances given on
the drawings to ensure that heat generated by other adjacent equipment is not transmitted to the
Converter, be aware that other equipment may have its own clearance requirements. When
mounting two or more 590+’s together, these clearances are cumulative.
Ensure that the mounting surface is normally cool.
AC Line Choke
We recommend that you always use the specified ac line choke with the Converter
to provide a known supply impedance for effective operation of the thyristor transient
suppression circuits. At least 1% line impedance should be provided in the supply side of the
converter.
Refer to Chapter 11: “Technical Specifications” - AC Line Choke for selection details.
