Required tools
The tools required for moving the unit to its final position and completing the mechanical installation are listed
below:
Crane, fork-lift or pallet truck
Industry standard tools, such as but not limited to: screwdrivers (flat, Philips, Torx), wrenches, sockets,
torque wrenches, tape measure, level and other tools used in standard electrical installations
Metal shims (optional)
Moving and unpacking the drive
Move the drive to the installation site, preferably in the original package to avoid damaging the
cabinet surfaces and door devices. If using a pallet truck, check its load capacity before you move the drive.
Lifting the cabinet
Lift the drive cabinet to its position using its lifting eyes.
Allowed angle of the lifting slings is 90° to the roof.
Moving the cabinet after unpacking
Move the drive cabinet carefully in the upright position. Avoid tilting. The cabinet's center of gravity can be
high.
Installing the drive
General rules
The ACS580 should only be mounted where all the requirements defined in "Checking the installation Site"
are met.
Wall-Mount the Drive
1.
Use a hoist to move the cabinet into position.
2.
Prepare the enclosure for UNISTRUT® mounting or wall mounting. The cabinet frame sizes are
designed to be mounted on a solid vertical surface or using UNISTRUT.
Floor-Mount the Drive
1.
The cabinets are free standing and do require bolting in place. The holes in the enclosure foot kit are
intended for securing to the floor.
2.
Install the drive cabinet in an upright vertical position with its back against a wall (a), or back-to-back
with another cabinet (b).
3.
Leave 12in (305 mm) free space above the basic roof level of the cabinet for cooling and fan
replacement.
4.
Leave some space at the side to allow doors to open sufficiently (w). The doors can open 120°. ABB
recommends minimum of 1" side to side spacing.
Note: Make height adjustments with metal shims between the cabinet bottom and the floor.
Note: It is recommended that you do NOT remove the lifting eyes of the cabinet. If you removed the lifting
eyes and the panel is intended for use as a Type 12 installation, it is recommended that you reinstate a UL
Type 12 listed solution in their place.
