Mechanical Installation

Handling the Drive

Prepare a clear, flat surface to receive the drive before attempting to move it. Do not damage
any terminal connections when putting the drive down.
IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances must the drive be lifted using the power terminals.
The drives are supplied with 4 lifting eye bolts fitted to the 4 PE/grounding locations on the
sides of the drive for handling using a hoist.
Frames G and H may be set on end for installation by forklift. Frame J may be placed on forklift
blades with care to avoid the fan mounting studs and fan power terminals on the bottom (with
the fan removed - the fan is shipped separately from the drive).

Ventilation

The drive gives off heat in normal operation and must therefore be mounted to allow the free
flow of air through the ventilation slots and heatsink. Maintain minimum clearances for
ventilation, and ensure that heat generated by other adjacent equipment is not transmitted to the
drive. Refer to fold-out drawings HG465731U001, 2 and 3 at the end of this chapter for
information to ensure adequate cooling of the drive. Be aware that other equipment may have its
own clearance requirements. When mounting two or more 690+ units together, these clearances
are additive. Ensure that the mounting surface is normally cool.

Air Flow

The drives use very large airflows and have been designed with specific airflow patterns within
a cabinet. It is generally intended that the bulk of the air comes into the cabinet at the top, flows
down (some going through the drive to maintain internal temperatures), into the main cooling
fan, through the drive, the brake/exhaust duct (supplied), and finally out the top of the cabinet
through vent assembly (supplied).
This flow pattern ensures that the top of the cabinet is effectively evacuated and the inside of the
drive is cooled by fresh air.
The brake/exhaust duct allows for field installation of a braking module and it gives clearance
for inlet air to come from the front of the cabinet into the top of the drive and down; we strongly
recommend that this is fitted with the drive whether a brake is fitted or not. It is also important
that the top vent is properly fitted to assure that the exhaust air is not recirculated. Refer to the
fold-out drawings at the end of this chapter for typical cubicle layout information.
We recommend that these drives are separated from other equipment in a large multifunction
cabinet so that the airflow is
better controlled. i.e. air heated
by other items should not affect
the inlet temperature to the
drive's main fan.
Take care in placing the cabinet
so that there is sufficient space
in front of the cabinet to keep
the exhaust air and inlet air
separated. If there is not
sufficient space, redirection of
the exhaust air is required.
These drives dissipate
substantial heat (refer to Chapter
