CAUTION: If the DB hardware mounting is any position other than vertical, the DB hardware must be derated by 35% of its rated capacity. CAUTION: Only Baldor cables should be used to connect the keypad and control. These are special twisted pair cables to protect the control and the keypad. Damage associated with other cable types are not covered by the Baldor warranty.

Chapter 3 Installing the Drive This chapter provides information that must be considered when planning a VS1MXS drive installation and provides drive mounting information and installation site requirements. 3.1 Receiving & Inspection When you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately. 1.
3.3 Mounting the Drive Mount the drive upright on a flat, vertical, level surface using Table 3-2 NEMA 12 / IP55 Dimensions for mounting locations. 3.3.1 Protecting the Drive from Debris The drive is designed to operate in NEMA 12 (IP55) Type installations. 3.3.2 Watts Loss Data Refer to Table 2-1 for watts loss data.

Chapter 4 Power Wiring 4.1 Overview of Power Connections The recommended grounding method is shown in Figure 4-1. 4.1.1 Safety Ground - (G) This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod, or bus bar.
Ensure that the incoming supply neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the same building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on flexible cables and should not include any form of plug or socket that would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes may require redundant ground connections.

Refer to Table 4-1 for maximum cable lengths. Baldor recommends adding an optional load reactor to the output of the control. The load reactor and/ or common mode choke should be placed in close physical proximity to the control.
Chapter 5 Control Wiring 5.1 Control Board Connections Analog and Digital input and output connections are made at the Control Wiring Terminals shown in Figure 5-1. Control wire connections can be made using shielded twisted pair #18 AWG (0.8mm2) wire minimum. The cable must also have an overall shield and not exceed 100 feet (30m) in length.
5.2 RJ11 Communication Connection The RJ11 Data Port can be used as a RS485 Serial interface using Modbus RTU protocol. Serial Modbus networks use the RS485 PIN connection; see Appendix E for the communication protocols. Figure 5-2 RJ11 Data Connection RS485 Modbus + 0 Volts +24 Volts...

CE Guidelines C.1 CE Declaration of Conformity Baldor indicates that the products are only components and not ready for immediate or instant use within the meaning of “Safety law of appliance”, “EMC Law” or “Machine directive”. The final mode of operation is defined only after installation into the user’s equipment.
3. The responsibility of CE mark compliance rests entirely with the party who offers the end system for sale (such as an OEM or system integrator). Baldor products which meet the EMC directive requirements are indicated with a “CE” mark. A signed CE declaration of conformity is provided in this section.
CONTROLLER (Exception: Analog Command Signal). GROUNDING (EARTH) For safety reasons (VDE0160), all Baldor components must be connected to ground with a separate wire. The diameter of the wire must be at minimum AWG#6 (10mm Ground connections (dashed lines) must be made from the central ground to the regen resistor enclosure and from the central ground to the Shared Power Supply.
C.8 EMC Installation Instructions To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the following installation instructions should be completed. These steps help to reduce interference. Consider the following: • Grounding of all system elements to a central ground point • Shielding of all cables and signal wires • Filtering of power lines A proper enclosure should have the following characteristics: A) All metal conducting parts of the enclosure must be electrically connected to the back plane.
