3 Installation
3.1 Receiving and Unpacking
Upon receipt of the product you should immediately do the following:
• Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for shipping damage.
• Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase order.
• Check all electrical terminals to be sure screws are tight.
3.2 Initial Unit Inspection
Complete a visual check of the unit for damage which may have occurred during shipping and handling. Report
any damage immediately and file a claim with the freight carrier within 15 days of receipt. Do not attempt to
continue installation.
CAUTION!
Do not operate or install the ABC Series Brake if it appears to be damaged or visually defective. Doing so
may result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
3.3 Location
Proper location of the ABC Series is necessary to achieve specified performance and normal operation lifetime.
The unit should always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:
• Ambient operating temperature:
Chassis unit: 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F)
Enclosed unit: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
• Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing
• Free from metallic particles, conductive dust and corrosive gas
• Free from excessive vibration (below 0.5G)
• Open panel units must be mounted in the appropriate type of en- closure. Enclosure size and type must be
suitable to dissipate heat generated by the unit. Contact factory for details.
3.4 Mounting and Cleaning
The unit is air cooled and must be properly mounted to allow for unrestricted airflow across the heat sink. The unit
should be mounted with the heat sink fins in a vertical plane, with a minimum of five (5) inches (127mm) of free
space around the unit for adequate ventilation. The ambient air should be free of any contaminants which can
clog louvers or coat the unit. As with all electrical equipment, the unit must be protected from water and
condensing humidity to prevent damage to the unit. In damp or cold environments, space heaters may be
required.
WARNING!
Remove All Sources of Power Before Cleaning the Unit. In dirty or contaminated atmospheres the unit
should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure proper cooling. Do not use any chemicals to clean the
unit. To remove surface dust, use 80 to 100 psi clean, dry compressed air only. A three inch, high
quality, dry paint brush is helpful to loosen up the dust prior to using compressed air on the unit.
