3.1 Mechanical Installation
3.1.1 What This Chapter Contains
The chapter tells how to check the installation site, inspect the drive and install the drive mechanically.
3.1.2 Checking the Installation Site
The drive may be installed on the wall or in a cabinet.
The drive must be installed in an upright position.
Check the installation site according to the requirements below. Refer to the following pages for dimension drawings of
drives.
3.1.3 Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to ensure that the drive's environment and operating conditions comply with the drive specifi cations. The area
behind the drive must be kept clear of all control and power wiring. Power connections may create electromagnetic fi elds
that may interfere with control wiring or components when run in close proximity to the drive.
Read the recommendations in the following sections before continuing with the drive installation.
3.1.4 Location Instructions
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
• Protect the cooling fan by avoiding dust or metallic particles.
• Do not expose the drive to a corrosive atmosphere.
• Protect the drive from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Verify that the drive location will meet the environmental conditions specifi ed in Table 3-1.

Relative Humidity
3.1.5 Confi rm that the enclosure is appropriate, based on the site contamination level:
• IP21 / UL type 1 enclosure: The site must be free of airborne dust, corrosive gases or liquids, and conductive
contaminants such as dripping water, condensation, carbon dust and metallic particles.
• IP54 / UL type 12 enclosure: This enclosure provides protection from airborne dust and light sprays or splashing water
from all directions.
• If, for some reason, an IP21 drive needs to be installed without the conduit box or cover, or an IP54 drive without the
conduit plate or hood, see the note in chapter Technical data.
