VLT® Midi Drive FC 280
Operating Guide

3.1.2 Identifying the Drive with Ethernet-based Safety Functions

To identify whether the drive is equipped with the Ethernet-based safety functions, check the following:
• The drive's type code on the product label contains "SFS1" at bits 24~27, for example:
Pos. 1 2 3 4 5 6
F C - 2 8 0
Illustration 3: Type Code Example for Drive with Ethernet-based Safety Functions
• The drive has terminal 39.

3.1.3 Storage

Ensure that the requirements for storage are fulfilled. Refer to

3.2 Installation Environment

REDUCED LIFETIME
In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or corrosive gases, ensure that the IP/Type rating of the equipment matches the
installation environment. Failure to meet requirements for ambient conditions can reduce lifetime of the drive.
-
Ensure that requirements for air humidity, temperature, and altitude are met.
Vibration and shock
The drive complies with requirements for units mounted on the walls and floors of production premises, and in panels bolted to
walls or floors. For detailed ambient conditions, refer to

3.3 Mounting

3.3.1 Cooling

Improper mounting can result in overheating and reduced performance.
• Ensure 100 mm (3.9 in) of top and bottom clearance for air cooling.

3.3.2 Lifting

• To determine a safe lifting method, check the weight of the unit, see
• Ensure that the lifting device is suitable for the task.
• If necessary, plan for a hoist, crane, or forklift with the appropriate rating to move the unit.
• For lifting, use hoist rings on the unit, when provided.
3.3.3 Mounting
Procedure
1. Ensure that the strength of the mounting location supports the unit weight.
2.
Place the unit as near to the motor as possible. Keep the motor cables as short as possible.
3. Mount the unit vertically on a solid flat surface.
4.
Use the slotted mounting holes on the unit for wall mount, when provided. For dimensions of mounting holes, see
Enclosure Sizes, Power Ratings, and

3.3.3.1 Side-by-side Installation
