Chapter 2 - Mechanical Installation
Mounting the
Control Panel
The control panel can be detached from the frequency converter 
and installed with a separate approximately 3 m long special 
connection cable to the cabinet door for example. When installed 
correctly on a flat surface with proper cable entry and sealing 
(optional), the panel provides enclosure class IP 65 (NEMA 4) 
(IP 30 as standard). The control panel is available separately as 
an option.
Note! The panel replacement cover cannot be mounted on the 
ACS 300 when the Control Panel connection cable is connected.
Note! Use only the connection cable similar to the one in the
IP 65 kit.
Instructions for Control Panel mounting are attached to the IP 65 
kit.
EMC
To suppress the radiated RFI emission below the limits mandated 
by the EMC Directive, it is important to keep the Control Panel 
connection cable inside the metal enclosure. If this is impossible, 
use a metal conduit.
Mounting the Optional
RFI Filter
The optional RFI filter for frame R0 must be mounted on the 
same metal mounting plate as the ACS 300.
