2-3
Assessing The System Requirements
It is important to know how you are going to use the drive before you start installation and wiring.
You will need to know your requirements for the following components:
• Motion (traverse or hoist)
• Motor HP, RPM, and FLA
• Speed control method (2-speed, 3-speed, multistep, etc.)
• Stopping method (Decelerate or Coast to Stop)
• Wire size
• Grounding location and method
Choosing a Location
Be sure the drive is mounted in a location protected against the following conditions:
• Extreme cold and heat. Use only within the ambient temperature range:
Open Chassis: +14 to 122F (-10 to 50C)
• Direct sunlight (not for use outdoors)
• Rain, moisture
• High humidity
• Oil sprays, splashes
• Salt spray
• Dust or metallic particles in the air
• Corrosive gases (e.g. sulfurized gas or liquids)
• Radioactive substances
• Combustibles (e.g. thinner, solvents, etc.)
• Physical shock, vibration
• Magnetic noise (e.g. welding machines, power devices, etc.)
WARNING
•When preparing to mount the IMPULSE•G+ Mini drive, lift it by its base. Never lift it by the
front cover.
•Mount the drive on nonflammable material.
•The IMPULSE•G+ Mini drive generates heat. For the most effective cooling possible, mount
it vertically. For more details, refer to the “IMPULSE•G+ Mini Dimensions/Heat Loss—
Open Chassis” in this chapter.
•When mounting units in an enclosure, install a fan or other cooling device to keep the
enclosure temperature below 122°F (50C).
Failure to observe these warnings may result in equipment damage.
