Planning the Kinetix 2000 Drive System 
Installation 
Introduction
This chapter describes system installation guidelines used in preparation for 
mounting your Kinetix 2000 drive components. 
System Design Guidelines
Use the information in this section when designing your enclosure and 
planning to mount your system components on the panel. 
System Mounting Requirements
The following is general information for selecting an enclosure and mounting 
your system components within the panel. 
• In order to comply with UL and CE requirements, the Kinetix 2000
system must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering 
protection as defined in standard EN 60529 (IEC 529) to IP55 such 
that they are not accessible to an operator or unskilled person. A 
NEMA 4X enclosure exceeds these requirements providing protection 
to IP66. 
• The panel you install inside the enclosure for mounting your system
components must be on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that won’t be 
subjected to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive 
vapors.

ATTENTION
Plan the installation of your system so that you can perform all cutting, 
drilling, tapping, and welding with the system removed from the 
enclosure. Because the system is of the open type construction, be 
careful to keep any metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or 
other foreign matter can become lodged in the circuitry, which can 
result in damage to components.
