7.1 Safety regulations
DANGER
Incorrect installation
Danger to life!
▷ Install the frequency inverter in a flood-proof location.
▷ Never use the frequency inverter in potentially explosive atmospheres.
7.2 Checks to be carried out prior to installation
Place of installation
The standard configuration has IP55 enclosure protection and may only be used in
environments for which its enclosure provides adequate protection.
The place of installation must meet the following requirements:
▪ Well ventilated
▪ No direct sunlight
▪ Protected from weather
▪ Sufficient clearance for ventilation and dismantling
▪ Flood-proof
Ambient conditions
▪ Operating temperature: -10 °C to +50°C
The service life of the frequency inverter is reduced if an average temperature of
+35°C/24h is exceeded or if the inverter is operated at temperatures below 0°C
or above +40°C.
The frequency inverter switches off automatically if excessively high or low
temperatures occur.
NOTE
Contact the manufacturer if the device is to be used under ambient conditions
other than those described above.
Outdoor installation
Provide the frequency inverter with suitable protection when installed outdoors to
prevent condensation on the electronic equipment and exposure to excessive
sunlight.
7.3 Mounting PumpDrive
Depending on the selected mounting option, an adapter or installation kit is
required.
7.3.1 Motor mounting
The frequency inverter for the motor-mounted model is supplied, together with the
pump, already mounted to the motor via an adapter.
Adapters for subsequent conversion to the motor mounting configuration for
existing pump systems are available from KSB.
7.3.2 Wall/control cabinet mounting
The wall-mounted model is supplied with the installation kit required for wall
mounting as standard. Installation kits for subsequent conversion to the wall
mounting configuration for existing pump systems are available from KSB.
