3 Mechanical installation
3.1 Safety
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must be adhered to. Any
questions or doubt should be referred to the supplier of the equipment. It is the
responsibility of the owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and any
external option unit, and the way in which they are operated and maintained, comply
with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or
applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice in the country in which the
equipment is used.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who are familiar with the
requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for ensuring that the
end product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to
be used.
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink can
reach temperatures in excess of 70 °C (158 °F). Human contact with the heatsink
should be prevented.
Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It
is designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance
with IEC 60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is
acceptable.
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure
must be provided. For further information, refer to section 3.2 Fire protection on
page 19.
Many of the drives in this product range weigh in excess of 15 kg (33 lb). Use
appropriate safeguards when lifting these models.
A full list of drive weights can be found in the Mentor MP User Guide.
IP rating
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that any enclosure which allows access to
drives from model sizes 2A to 2D while the product is energized, provides protection
against contact and ingress to the requirements of IP20.
Refer to section 12 of the Mentor MP User Guide for further details.
