26 Commander SK Size 2 to 6 Getting Started Guide
www.controltechniques.com Issue Number: 2
For increased fan lifetime in a dirty environment the heatsink fan must be
replaced with an IP54 or IP55 fan.
Table 3-1 Fan part numbers
If the standard fan is used in a dirt/dusty environment, reduced fan
lifetime will result. Regular cleaning of the fan and heatsink is
recommended in this environment.
3.4.2 Commander SK size 5 and 6
When through hole mounted, the Commander SK size 5 and 6 are rated
to IP54 and/or NEMA 12 as standard.
Table 3-2 Environmental considerations
3.4.3 Through-panel mounting losses
When designing an IP54 and/or NEMA 12 cubicle, the losses from the
front of the drive must be taken into consideration.
Table 3-3 Through-panel mounting losses
Figure 3-21 Fitting of IP54 insert in Commander SK size 2
In order to remove the IP54 insert, repeat steps (1) (2) and (3), reverse
steps (5) and (4) and repeat step (6).
The IP54/55 fan can be fitted at the same time as the IP54 insert. The
connector on the existing fan should be unplugged from the power PCB.
The existing fan then unclips from the black housing and can be
removed. Once the new assembly is complete, the power lead of the
new IP5X fan can then be pushed back through the heatsink and the
grommet inserted in to the hole to ensure the correct seal is maintained.
The fan is then clipped into the housing ensuring the blades rotate freely
indicating that the fan is fitted in the correct orientation.
