EMC INSTALLATION 22
Overview
The Pentek Intellidrive is a Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD). As with all VFD’s, this device may cause
electromagnetic interference if it is not installed
correctly. Following these instructions will ensure that
this device will comply with the relevant Australian EMC
standards.
These instructions should be read in conjunction with
the Pentek Intellidrive Installation Manual, as supplied
with the device.
Enclosure
The Pentek Intellidrive shall be installed in an EMC
shielded enclosure. The EMC enclosure shall be rated
for use from 0 up to 1GHz and shall have a rated
attenuation of at least 35dB at 1GHz.
Pentair Australia recommends the Hoffman®
CSD24248LG- EMC enclosure.
Enclosure Installation
1. Open the enclosure door and remove the mounting
panel.
2. Line-up the Intellidrive on the desired location on
the mounting panel. Take care to allow enough
room for easy access to wiring points on the
Intellidrive.
Note: The enclosure may also be used to house
other electrical components. All wiring must be
completed by a qualified electrician in accordance
with the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000).
3. To mount the drive, mark the location of the top
keyhole on the mounting panel. Drill a hole in the
mounting panel at this mark. Drive a bolt into the
mounting panel and hang the Intellidrive on it.
4. Remove the screw on the bottom of the front cover
on the Intellidrive and lift the cover off. Mark the
locations of the bottom two mounting holes. Drill
holes for the bottom two mounting holes and mount
the drive using bolts / screws in all holes.
Note: Use serrated washers on mounting bolts /
screws to cut through paint and provide a low
resistance earth connection.
5. Return the mounting panel and Intellidrive to the
enclosure and bolt securely in place.
