3.3.1  Mechanical installation: checklist 
Use the following checklist to guide you through the mechanical installation procedure for the 
cabinet unit. Read the safety information at the start of this operating manual before you start 
working on the device.  
 
 
Note 
Check the boxes accordingly in the right-hand column if the activity applies to the cabinet 
unit in your scope of supply. In the same way, check the boxes once you have finished the 
installation procedure to confirm that the activities are complete. 
 
 
 
Item  Activity  Fulfilled/Complete 
1  The ambient conditions must be permissible. See "Technical specifications, General 
technical specifications". 
The cabinet unit must be firmly attached to the fixing points provided.  
The cooling air can flow unobstructed. 
 
2  The minimum ceiling height (for unhindered air outlet) specified in the operating manual 
must be observed. The cooling air supply must be not be obstructed (see "Mechanical 
installation/preparation"). 
 
3  Components that are supplied separately for transport reasons (canopy or hood) must 
be fitted (see "Mechanical installation/Fitting additional canopies (option M21) or hoods 
(option M23/M43/M54)"). 
 
4  The clearance around an open door (escape route) specified in the applicable accident 
prevention guidelines must be observed. 
 
5  With option M13/M78: 
Choose the required metric screw connections or conduit thread connections on the 
basis of the cable cross-section and drill the required holes in the blanking plates. When 
the cable is fed in from above, ensure that enough room is available if the cable has to 
be bent because of the cable feeder and cross-sections. The cable entries should be fed 
in vertically to minimize transverse forces on the entries (see "Mechanical installation / 
cable entry from above (option M13), motor connection from above (option M78)"). 
 
 
3.3.2  Preparation 
On-site requirements 
The cabinet units are suitable for installation in general operating areas (DlN VDE 0558 / 
Edition 7.87, Part 1 / Section 5.4.3.2.4). 
The standard specifies the following:  
When power conversion units are installed in general operating areas, live parts must be 
protected in such a way that they cannot be touched either directly or indirectly. 
The operating areas must be dry and free of dust. The air supplied must not contain any 
electrically conductive gas, vapors, or dust, which could impair operation. It may be 
necessary to filter the air supplied to the installation room. If the air contains dust, filter mats
