Section 1.2: Mounting the Drive
1.2.1 Environmental Conditions
1. Verify the ambient condition of the drive mounting location. The ambient
temperature range should be 14° to 104°F (-10° to 40°C) for NEMA 1 and or NEMA
4/12 enclosures.
2. The relative humidity should be less than 90% (non-condensing), below the altitude
of 3280 ft or 1000 m.
3. Do not mount the drive in direct sunlight. The drive should also be isolated from
excessive vibration.
4. The drive should be protected from moisture, dust, metallic particles, corrosive
gases and liquids.
5. Consult Factory for severe environments.
1.2.2 Electrical Conditions
1. Verify that Input voltage is within drive nameplate +/- 10%. If input line voltage
varies due to sags and / or surges input line reactors are recommended.
2. Analog input requires individually shielded twisted pair cable for installations where
the cable leaves the control cabinet.
3. If length of motor leads between drive and motor exceed 100 ft. (30 m) a load reac-
tor between drive and motor is recommended.
1.2.3 Mounting
The SV100 must be mounted vertically with sufficient space (horizontally and vertically)
between adjacent equipment. See Figure 1.2.1. See Figures 1.2.2 – 1.2.4 for actual
drive dimensions.
