l Keep the drive in its package until installation. After unpacking, protect the drive from dust, debris, and moisture.
6.5 Prerequisites for Installation
6.5.1 Overview of Prerequisites for Installation
To secure the best conditions and operation of the drive in its application, it is recommended to check the following points before
selecting a drive:
l Check the operating environment against ambient conditions. See 4.2.7.4 Ambient Conditions during Operation.
l Consider the placement of the drive and handling during installation. See 5.1 IP20/Open Type Enclosure Sizes and Dimensions for the
weights and mechanical dimensions of the drives.
l Consider needs for access to the drive during operation. See chapter Mechanical Installation.
l Consider needs for maintenance access. See 6.7.8 Recommended Space for Service Access.
6.5.2 Operating Environment
Make sure that the drive is installed within the specified installation conditions to ensure proper operation and expected lifetime of the
product.
Table 46: Operating Environment Specifications
Environment Specifications
Temperature The drive must be installed in a location where the operational temperature range is compliant to the specifi-
cations of the drive. Consider both temperature at operation and temperature at storage (unpowered drive). If
the nominal temperature rating is exceeded, derating must be applied.
For more information about derating, see 4.2.7.1 Overview of Ambient Conditions and 4.9.1 Overview of Derating.
Altitude Ensure that the drive is installed at the allowed altitude for proper cooling and compliance with isolation spac-
ing. At altitudes above 1000m (3300ft), derating of drive performance applies. Derating is to be applied to the
maximum output current or maximum operational temperature. Ensure that the drive is rated for the actual
application.
Limitations are stated in Chapter General Technical Data. For more information,see 4.2.7.1 Overview of Ambient
Conditionsand 4.9.1 Overview of Derating.
Vibration and
shock
Ensure that the drive is installed in a location where it is not exposed to vibration and shock levels exceeding
its specifications. If exposed to higher levels of vibration and shock, using dampers for installation is recom-
mended. Special requirements are fulfilled when the drive is ordered with marine approval.
For more information, see 4.2.7.1 Overview of Ambient Conditions.
Humidity The drive must be installed in a location, where the humidity level is compliant to the specifications of the
drive. If the installation area does not fulfill the required conditions, alternative measures can be taken by se-
lecting other protective cabinets for installation, built-in heating elements, or a dehumidifier.
For more information, see 4.2.7.1 Overview of Ambient Conditions.
