Installation and Wiring 2 Installation and Wiring 2.1 Installation 2.1.1 Installation Environment 1) Ambient temperature: The AC drive's service life is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature. Do not run the AC drive under a temperature exceeding the allowed temperature range (-10ºC to +50ºC). 2) Install the AC drive on the surface of a flame retardant object, and ensure that sufficient space is left around the enclosure to allow for efficient heat dissipation.
Installation and Wiring 2.1.2 Backplate Mounting Figure 2-2 Backplate mounting of MD500L In this mode, do not just secure two screws on the top of the AC drive; otherwise, the AC drive may fall off or be damaged due to the unbalanced effect on the fixed part during long-time running.

Quick setup 4.4 IGBT Enable In all elevator applications, an Output Contactor is installed between the AC drive output U, V, W and the motor. In an emergency, the Safety Line is opened due to an unsafe condition and the Output Contactor disconnects the power from the inverter to the motor (the motor brake is also applied at the same time).
