Ensure that the strength of the mounting locationsupports the unit weight. The adjustablefrequency drive allows side-by-side installation.2. Place the unit as near to the motor as possible.Keep the motor cables as short as possible.3. Mount the unit vertically to a solid flat surface orto the optional backplate to provide coolingairflow.4. Use the slotted mounting holes on the unit forwall mounting, when provided.Mounting with backplate and railings130BD504.10Figure 3.3 Proper Mounting with BackplateNOTICE!Backplate is required when mounted on railings.NOTICE!All A, B, and C enclosures allow side-by-side installation.Exception: if an IP21 kit is used, there has to be aclearance between the enclosures:• For enclosures A2, A3, A4, B3, B4 and C3, theminimum clearance is 2 ins [50 mm].• For enclosure C4, the minimum clearance is3 ins [75 mm].Mechanical Installation Instruction ManualMG16E322 Danfoss A/S © Rev. 2014-04-10 All rights reserved. 113 3
