Planning Before Installing
This chapter describes how to plan a GV3000/SE Bookshelf drive installation.
ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards involved
!
should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and
understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: When the level-sense start feature is enabled
(P.054 = ON), the user must ensure that automatic start up of the driven
equipment will not cause injury to operating personnel or damage to the
driven equipment. In addition, the user is responsible for providing
suitable audible or visual alarms or other devices to indicate that this
function is enabled and the drive may start at any moment. Refer to the
GV3000/SE Bookshelf Drive Software Start-Up and Reference manual
(D2-3426) for additional information. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Use of power correction capacitors on the output of the
drive can result in erratic operation of the motor, nuisance tripping, and/or
permanent damage to the drive. Remove power correction capacitors
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
ATTENTION: The user is responsible for conforming with all applicable
local, national, and international codes. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
It is important to properly plan before installing a GV3000/SE Bookshelf drive to
ensure that the drive's environment and operating conditions are satisfactory. Note
that no devices are to be mounted behind the drive. This area must be kept clear of all
control and power wiring. Read the following recommendations before continuing with
drive installation.
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
•
Verify that drives can be kept clean, cool, and dry.
•
The area chosen should allow the space required for proper air flow as defined in
section 3.1.3.
•
Be sure that drives are away from oil, coolants, or other airborne contaminants.
