Mechanical installation

3.1 Safety information
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must be adhered to. Any questions
or doubt should be referred to the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the
owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and any external option unit, and
WARNING
the way in which they are operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of the
Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or applicable legislation and
regulations and codes of practice in the country in which the equipment is used.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must
be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
WARNING
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual
fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed
in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control Techniques or their authorized
distributor.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who are familiar with the
requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end
WARNING
product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used.
Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It is
designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC
WARNING
60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.
3.2 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, refer to the Drive User Guide.
3.3 Mounting methods
All drive sizes can be either surface or through-panel mounted using the appropriate brackets.
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink can reach
temperatures in excess of 70 °C (158 °F). Human contact with the heatsink should be
prevented.
