3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a description of the installation and the electrical
connections for the variable frequency drive DC 1 series.
3.2 Mounting position
DC1-…CE1 and DC1-...OE1 variable frequency drives have a conformal
coating on their printed circuit boards (coated boards) that provides enhanced
protection from moisture and soiling.
DC1 variable frequency drives are available with two enclosure versions:
• IP20
/
NEMA 0 degree of protection: for use in control panels.
• IP66
/
NEMA 4X protection type: This enclosure version protects against
moisture and dust and is designed for use in harsh conditions.
The devices DC1-...OE1 in protection class IP66 additionally have an
“Outdoor Rating”. This ensures a high UV resistance, so that they can
be used outdoors without a roof.
Without the required additional measures, using the device in the following
environments is strictly prohibited:
• Explosion-proof Ranges
• Environments with damaging substances:
• Oils and acids
• Gases and fumes
• Dust
• Radiated noise
• Environments with mechanical vibration and impact loads that go
beyond the requirements in EN 50178.
• Areas in which the variable frequency drive takes care of safety
functions that must guarantee machine and personnel protection.
→
While installing and/or assembling the variable frequency drive,
cover all ventilation slots in order to ensure that no foreign
bodies can enter the device.
→
Perform all installation work with
the specified
tools
and without
the use of
excessive
force.
