X5 AC Drive User’s Manual Chapter 3: Receiving and Installation
DPD00089A - 27 - © 2009 Vacon Incorporated All Rights Reserved
3.5 Serial Number Label
Vacon, Inc. warrants all AC drives for three years from date of manufacture, or two years from the
date of installation, whichever comes first. For a more detailed description of our warranty policy,
see the inside front cover of this manual, or visit the web site at http://www.vacon.com. To
determine if your drive is within the warranty time frame, find the bar code label or look in the lower
left of the technical nameplate. The serial number can be broken down as follows:
yywwxxxx = yy...year of manufacture
ww...week of manufacture
xxxx...sequential number drive during that week
3.6 Conduit Usage
The X5 drive in the NEMA 4x / IP66 enclosure is rated for 1000 psi washdown from 6 inches. To
keep this rating, the use of a sealed conduit is required. The use of a Romex-type conduit will not
prevent water entry into the enclosure. If the approved conduit is not used, all warranty claims
against water damage will be void.
3.7 Condensation
The washdown process of an X5 drive may create a temperature and humidity change in and around
the drive. If the unit is mounted in a cool environment and washed down with higher-temperature
water, as the drive cools to room temperature, condensation can form inside the drive, especially
around the display. To prevent this from happening, avoid using sealed connectors around rubber-
coated cables to seal the drive. These do not allow any air transfer and hence create a level of
condensation and humidity that exceeds the drive’s rating.
