Installation Guidelines

Mechanical Installation Guidelines

The guidelines below must be followed when installing the Drive.

Pre-Mounting Guidelines
The drive should be mounted prior to any wires being connected to the drive.
For ease of installation the drive packaging carton has a mounting template to follow, ensuring dust from drilling does not enter the drive.
Enclosure Guidelines
Installation should be in a suitable enclosure, according to EN60529 or other relevant local codes or standards.
Enclosures should be made from a thermally conductive material.
Where vented enclosures are used, there should be venting above the drive and below the drive to ensure good air circulation, air should be drawn in below the drive and expelled above the drive.
For drives mounted in non-ventilated metallic enclosures ensure that the minimum clearances below are met.
Environmental Installation Guidelines
In any environments where the conditions require it, the enclosure must be designed to protect the drive against ingress of airborne dust, corrosive gases or liquids, conductive contaminants (such as condensation, carbon dust, and metallic particles) and sprays or splashing water from all directions.
High moisture, salt or chemical content environments should use a suitably sealed (non-vented) enclosure.
The drive should be mounted in a vertical position only, on a flat, flame resistant, vibration free mounting using the integral mounting holes.
The drive must be installed in a pollution degree 1 or 2 environment only.
Do not mount flammable material close to the drive.
Ensure that the ambient temperature where the drive will be installed does not exceed 50°C or below -20°C.
Ensure that the height above sea level where the drive will be installed does not exceed 1000m, if it does then refer to Drive Altitude Information.Drive Altitude Information
Provide suitable clean, moisture and contaminant free cooling air sufficient to fulfill the cooling requirements of the drive.

Drive Storage Information

The following conditions must be followed to prolong the lifetime of the drive when transporting/storing.

Environment Factor to be Considered	Condition to be adhered to
Storage Environment	Drive must be frost and moisture free at all times
Storage Temperature	-40°C ... 60°C
Humidity	<95% (non-condensing)

For information on how to install the drive after a prolonged period of storage see the Topic Installation after a period of Storage

Installation after a period of Storage

Where the drive has been stored for some time prior to installation or has remained without the main power supply present for an extended period of time, it is necessary to reform the DC capacitors within the drive according to the following table before operation.

For drives which have not been connected to the main power supply for a period of more than 2 years, this requires a reduced mains voltage to be applied for a time period, and gradually increased prior to operating the drive. The voltage levels relative to the drive rated voltage, and the time periods for which they must be applied are shown in the following table. Following completion of the procedure, the drive may be operated as normal.

Storage/Power Off Period	Initial Input Voltage Level	Time Period (T1)	Secondary Input Voltage Level	Time Period (T2)	Third Input Voltage Level	Time Period (T3)	Final Input Voltage Level	Time Period (T4)
Up to 1 Year	100%	N/A
1 - 2 Years	100%	1 Hour	N/A
2 - 3 Years	25%	30 Minutes	50%	30 Minutes	75%	30 Minutes	100%	30 Minutes
More than 3 Years	25%	2 Hours	50%	2 Hours	75%	2 Hours	100%	2 Hours
