7General1.4 Mounting instructions1.4.1 ClassificationThe COMBIVERT F5 is classified as an "Open Type" inverter with an IP20 ratingand must be mounted inside of a control cabinet.1.4.2 Physical MountingInstall the inverter in a stationary location offering a firm mounting point with lowvibration.Installation of the inverter on moving system may require special earth groundconnections to the inverter. Please consult KEBCO.For best high frequency grounding, install the inverter on a bare metal sub-panel, i.e.zinc plated steel or galvanized steel.Take into consideration the minimum clearance distances when positioning the inverter(see drawing below). The F5 series inverters are designed for vertical installation andcan be aligned next to each other. Maintain a distance of at least 2 inches in front of theunit. Make sure cooling is sufficient. Direction of cooling fins1.4.3 Harsh EnvironmentsFor extended life, prevent dust from getting into the inverter. Select units with conformalcoating when the inside of the control cabinet may be occasionally subject dust,moisture, or other substances which could build up over time.When installing the unit inside a sealed enclosure, make sure the enclosure is sizedcorrectly for proper heat dissipation or that a cooling system has been installed in thepanel.Protect the inverter against conductive and corrosive gases andliquids. Water or mist should not be allowed into the inverter.The COMBIVERT F5 inverter must be installed in an explosion-proof enclosurewhen operating in an explosion-proof environment.
