2.2 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 conditions below to prolong the optimum performance life of the drive.Table 2.1 Drive Installation EnvironmentEnvironment ConditionsInstallation Area IndoorsAmbientTemperature-10 °C to +40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F) IP20/NEMA 1, UL Type 1 Enclosure, External Heatsink (2A0011 to 2A0273 and 4A0005to 4A0302)-10 °C to +50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) IP00/Open Type Enclosure (2A0343 and 2A0396, and 4A0361 to 4A0590)Note: 1. To install a heatsink on the outside of a panel, design the panel to keep the air temperature inside the panelwithin 10 °C (18 °F) [5 °C (9 °F) for 2A0273 and 4A0124] of the outside air temperature.2. Ambient temperature range for continuous operations is -10 °C to +40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F) when externalheatsink installation method is applied for models 2A0343 and 2A0396 and 4A0361 to 4A0590.Humidity 95% RH or less and free of condensationStorageTemperature -20 °C to +70 °C (-4 °F to +158 °F)Surrounding 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 Up to 1000 m (3281 ft.) without derating. Up to 3000 m (9843 ft.) with output current and voltage deratingVibration10 to 20 Hz at 9.8 m/s220 to 55 Hz at 5.9 m/s2 (2A0011 to 2A0031 and 4A0005 to 4A0027) or2.0 m/s2 (2A0046 to 2A00396 and 4A0034 to 4A0590)Orientation Install the drive vertically to maintain maximum cooling effects.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 Transporting the DriveCAUTION! Do not lift drive models 2A0011 to 2A0114 and 4A0005 to 4A0096 by the front cover. Failure to comply might result in minor ormoderate injury if the main body of the drive falls.Figure 2.1 Incorrect Way to Transport the Drive2.2 Mechanical Installation42 YASKAWA ELECTRIC TOEP C710616 45F YASKAWA AC Drive – Z1000 User Manual
