2.1 Mechanical InstallationThis section outlines specifications, procedures, and the environment for proper mechanical installation of the drive.u Installation EnvironmentInstall the drive in an environment matching the specifications in Table 2.1 to help prolong the optimum performance life ofthe drive.Table 2.1 Installation EnvironmentEnvironment ConditionsInstallation Area IndoorsAmbient Temperature-10 °C to +40 °C (IP20/NEMA Type 1 enclosure)-10 °C to +50 °C (IP00/Open Type enclosure)Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.When using the drive in an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure that the airtemperature inside the 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 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 sunlight.Altitude 1000 m or lower, up to 3000 m with deratingVibration10 to 20 Hz at 9.8 m/s2 (32.15 ft/s2) <1>20 to 55 Hz at 5.9 m/s2 (19.36 ft/s2) (Models 2A0004 to 2A0211, 4A0002 to 4A0165, and 5A0003 to 5A0099) or2.0 m/s2 (6.56 ft/s2) (Models 2A0250 to 2A0415, 4A0208 to 4A1200, and 5A0125 to 5A0242)Orientation Install the drive vertically to maintain maximum cooling effects.<1> Models 4A0930 and 4A1200 are rated at 5.9 m/s2 (19.36 ft/s2)NOTICE:Avoid placing drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive as the noise created can lead to erroneousoperation. If such devices must be used in close proximity to the drive, take proper steps to shield the drive from noise.NOTICE:Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings and wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation. Failure to complycould result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during installation. Remove the temporary cover beforedrive start-up, as the cover will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.u Installation Orientation and SpacingInstall the drive upright as illustrated in Figure 2.1 to maintain proper cooling.Figure 2.1 Correct Installation OrientationNOTICE:Install the drive upright as specified in the manual. Failure to comply may damage the drive due to improper cooling.2.1 Mechanical Installation26 YASKAWA ELECTRIC TOEP YAIP1U 01B YASKAWA AC Drive - P1000 Quick Start Guide
