2.2 Mechanical InstallationThis section outlines specifications, procedures, and environment for proper mechanical installation of the drive.u Installation EnvironmentTo help prolong the optimum performance life of the drive, install the drive in the proper environment. The table below providesa description of the appropriate environment for the drive.Table 2.1 Installation EnvironmentEnvironment ConditionsInstallation Area IndoorsAmbient Temperature-10 °C to +50 °C (IP20/Open-Chassis)Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.When using an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure that the air temperature insidethe enclosure does not exceed the specified levels.Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.Humidity 95% RH or less and free of condensationStorage Temperature -20 °C to +60 °CSurrounding AreaInstall the drive in an area free from:• oil mist and dust• metal shavings, oil, water or other foreign materials• radioactive materials• combustible materials (e.g., wood)• harmful gases and liquids• excessive vibration• chlorides• direct sunlightAltitude Up to 1000 meters without derating; up to 3000 meters with output current, ambient temperature, and voltage derating.Refer to Altitude Derating on page 186 for details.Vibration 10 to 20 Hz at 9.8 m/s220 to 55 Hz at 5.9 m/s2Orientation Install the drive vertically to maintain maximum cooling effects.NOTICE: Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings or wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation and projectconstruction. Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during installation.Remove the temporary cover before startup, as the cover will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.2.2 Mechanical Installation26 YASKAWA ELECTRIC SIEP C710606 31B YASKAWA AC Drive – J1000 Technical Manualhttp://nicontrols.com
