environment 
condition 
The installation site of the VFD should:   
Keep away from the electromagnetic radiation source; 
Keep away from contaminative air, such as corrosive gas, oil mist and 
flammable gas; 
Ensure foreign objects, such as metal power, dust, oil, water cannot 
enter into the VFD (do not install the VFD on the flammable materials 
such as wood); 
Keep  away  from  direct  sunlight,  oil  mist,  steam,  and  vibration 
environment.   
When the altitude exceeds  1000m but is lower  than 3000m,  derate 
1% for every additional 100m; 
When the altitude exceeds 2000m, configure an isolation transformer 
on the input end of the VFD.   
When the altitude exceeds 3000m but is lower than 5000m, contact 
our  company  for  technical  consultation.  Do  not  use  the  VFD  at  an 
altitude higher than 5000m. 
The  VFD  should  be  installed  on  an  upright  position  to  ensure 
sufficient cooling effect.   
Note:   
  Goodrive100-PV  series  VFDs  should  be  installed  in a  clean  and  ventilated  environment 
according to enclosure classification.   
  Cooling air must be clean, free from corrosive materials and electrically conductive dust.
