PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
3 - INSTALLATION
3.1 Preliminary Inspection
Before storing or installing the RSi S4 drive, thoroughly inspect the device for possible shipping damage.
Upon receipt:
Remove the drive from its package and inspect exterior for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, •
notify the shipping agent and your sales representative.
Remove the cover and inspect the drive for any apparent damage or foreign objects. Ensure that all •
mounting hardware and terminal connection hardware is properly seated, securely fastened, and
undamaged.
Read the technical data label afxed to the drive and ensure that the correct horsepower and input •
voltage for the application has been purchased. The numbering system for a Benshaw inverter is shown
on page 5.
If you will store the drive after receipt, place it in its original packaging and store in a clean, dry •
place free from direct sunlight or corrosive fumes, and where the ambient temperature is not less than
-20°C(-4°F) or greater than +65°C (+149°F).
3.2 Installation Precautions
Improper installation of the RSi S4 drive will greatly reduce its life. Be sure to observe the following
precautions when selecting a mounting location. Failure to observe these precautions may void the
warranty!
Do not install the drive in a place subjected to high temperature (-10 to 40C while running), high •
humidity, excessive vibration (installed on a press or other moving equipment), corrosive gases or
liquids, or airborne dust or metallic particles. See Section 2.2 on page 11 for temperature, humidity,
and maximum vibration limits.
Do not mount the drive near heat-radiating elements or in direct sunlight. •
The drive generates heat. Allow sufcient space around the unit for heat dissipation as seen below. •
Verify the ambient condition of the mounting location. Ambient temperature should not be below •
-20°C (-4°F) and must not exceed +65°C (+149°F). Relative humidity should be less than 95% (non-
condensing). The altitude should be below 3,300ft (1,000m) without derating.
ATTENTION
RISQUE DE DOMMAGES MATÉRIELS
Ne raccordez jamais de condensateurs de correction du facteur de puissance aux bornes T1/U, T2/V, ou
T3/W du moteur du variateur de vitesse Sensorless Vector Drive RSi S4. Car cela endommagera les
semiconducteurs.
Si cette directive n’qest pas respectée, cela peut entraîner des blessures corporelles ou des
dommages matériels.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Never use power-factor correction capacitors on motor terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W of the RSi S4
Sensorless Vector Drive.
Doing so will damage the semiconductors.
Failure to observe this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.
