DriveMotor.Installation procedure:
1. Mount the DriveMotor, see chapter 3.3.4 Mount
the DriveMotor.
2. Perform the electrical installation, starting with
chapter 4.7.1 Connecting to Mains.
Go directly to chapter 3.3.4 Mount the DriveMotor.
FCP 106
Mount the frequency converter onto the adapter plate,
which is:
•
Fastened to a flat surface beside the motor, or
•
Mounted directly onto the motor. When
assembled, the combined frequency converter
and motor is known as the DriveMotor.
Installation procedure:
1. Prepare the gasket and adapter plate, see
chapter 3.3.2 Prepare Gasket and
chapter 3.3.3 Prepare Adapter Plate.
2. Connect the frequency converter to the motor.
See chapter 4.6.1 Connect FCP 106 to Motor. The
combined unit is then known as the DriveMotor.

3.3.2 Prepare Gasket

Preparation of a gasket applies only when mounting an
FCP 106 onto a motor.
Mounting of FCP 106 onto a motor requires fitting a
customised gasket. The gasket fits between the motor
adapter plate and the motor.
No gasket is supplied with the FCP 106.
Therefore, before installation, design and test a gasket to
fulfil the ingress protection requirement (for example IP55,
IP54, or Type 3R).
Requirements for gasket:

Maintain the ground connection between
frequency converter and motor. The frequency
converter is grounded to the motor adapter plate.
Use a wire connection between motor and
frequency converter and ensure metallic contact
between the motor adapter plate and motor.
Use a UL recognised material for the gasket,
when UL listing or recognition is required for the
assembled product.
