Drive Storage
If it is necessary to store the drive, be certain to store in a clean dry dust free area.
Storage temperature should be maintained between -40...70 °C (-40...185 °F). If
storage temperature fluctuates or if humidity exceeds 95%, space heaters should
be used to prevent condensation. The drive should be stored in a heated building
having adequate air circulation. The drive must never be stored outdoors.
Siting of the Drive
Site Considerations
The standard environment in which the equipment is designed to operate is:
•
Elevation above sea level less than 1000 m (3250 ft)
•
Ambient air temperature between 0...40 °C (32...104 °F)
•
Relative humidity of the air not to exceed 95% non-condensing
For the equipment to operate in conditions other than those specified consult the
local Rockwell Automation Sales office.
The equipment requires the following site conditions:
•
Indoor installation only, no dripping water or other fluids
•
Clean air for cooling requirements
•
Level floor for anchoring the equipment. Refer to dimension drawings for
the location of the anchoring points.
•
The room in which the equipment is located must allow for full opening
of the doors of the equipment, typically 1200 mm (48 in.). Also,
allowances have to be made for clearance for fan removal. This fan
allowance must be greater than 700 mm (27.5 in.) above the drive
•
Allowance must be made for the stream of cooling air which exits the drive
at the top. The flow of cooling air into and out the drive must be kept clear
and uninhibited.
WARNING: The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), National Electrical Code (NEC),
or local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment.
Installation MUST comply with specifications regarding wire type, conductor
sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
