3.1. Mechanical Installation
Preparation of the mechanical installation of the frequency converter must be done carefully to
ensure a proper result and to avoid additional work during installation. Start taking a close look
at the mechanical drawings at the end of this instruction to become familiar with the space de-
mands.
3.1.1. Tools Needed
To perform the mechanical installation the following tools are needed:
•
Drilling machine with 10 or 12 mm drill
•
Tape measure
•
Wrench with relevant metric sockets (7-17 mm)
•
Extensions to wrench
•
Sheet metal punch for conduits or cable glands in IP 21 and IP 54 units
•
Lifting bar to lift the unit (rod or tube Ø 20 mm (0.75 inch)) able to lift minimum 400 kg
(880 lbs).
•
Crane or other lifting aid to place the frequency converter in position
•
A Torx T50 tool is needed to install the E1 enclosure in IP21 and IP54 enclosure variants.
3.1.2. General Considerations
Space
Ensure proper space above and below the frequency converter to allow airflow and cable access.
In addition space in front of the unit must be considered to open the door of the panels.
