Planning the Installation
This chapter provides how to plan a LiquiFlo 1.5 drive installation.
3.1 General Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to properly plan before installing a LiquiFlo 1.5 drive to ensure that the
drive’s environment and operating conditions are satisfactory. Read the following
recommendations before continuing with drive installation.
3.1.1 Making Sure Environmental Conditions are Met
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
• Verify that open-chassis style drives can be kept clean and dry. LiquiFlo drives must
be placed in an enclosure.
• The area chosen should allow the space required for proper air flow as defined in
section 3.1.3.
• Be sure that open-chassis style drives are installed away from oil, coolants, or other
airborne contaminants.
• Do not install the drive above 1000 meters (3300 feet) without derating output
power. For every 91.4 meters (300 feet) above 1000 meters (3300 feet), derate the
output current 1%.
• Verify that the drive location will meet the environmental conditions specified in table
3.1.
