3.3 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 demands.
3.3.1 Tools Needed
To perform the mechanical installation the following tools are needed:
• Drill 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/Nema 1 and IP 54/Nema 12 drive types.
• Lifting bar to lift the unit (rod or tube max. Ø 25 mm (1 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 Unit Size 51IP 21/Nema 1 and IP 54/Nema 12 drive types.
3.3.2 General Considerations
