Rockwell Automation 1560E SMC Flex Smart Motor Controller - Manual (Page 51)

Installation 2-3
Installation Site Consider the following when selecting the installation site:
A. The operating ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C
(32°F and 104°F) for NEMA Type 1 or 12 enclosures. For higher
ambient conditions, please consult Rockwell Automation factory.
B. The relative humidity must not exceed 95%, non-condensing. Excessive
humidity can cause electrical problems from corrosion or excessive
dirt build-up.
C. The equipment must be kept clean. Dust build-up inside the enclosure
inhibits proper cooling and decreases the system reliability. The
equipment should not be located where liquid or solid contaminants can
drop onto it. Controllers with ventilated enclosures (in particular those
with fans) must be in a room free of airborne contaminants.
D. Only persons familiar with the function of the controller should have
access to it.
E. The losses in the controller produce a definite heat dissipation,
depending on the unit size, that tends to warm the air in the room.
Attention must be given to the room ventilation and cooling require-
ments to ensure that the proper environmental conditions are met.
F. Operational altitude is 3,300 feet (1 km) maximum without derating.
Higher altitudes may require optional components. Please consult
Rockwell Automation factory.
G. The area of the controller should be free of radio frequency interference
such as encountered with some welding units. This may cause erroneous
fault conditions and shut down the system.
An incorrectly applied or installed controller can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring
or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor,
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or ambient tempera-
tures above or below the specified temperature range may
result in malfunction of the controller.
Mounting
The 1503E, 1560E and 1562E are designed to be mounted in the vertical
position. Standard cabinet drawings with certified dimension drawings can
be obtained by contacting your local Rockwell Automation Sales office for
the 1560E/1562E. Please refer to OEM documentation for the 1503E.
Refer to drawings for mounting requirements.
