Install The Drive On The Wall; Prepare The Installation Site - ABB ACQ580-01 Quick Installation And Start-Up Manual

Wet locations and underground cable: Use liquid-tight conduit in wet, dirty, dusty, corrosive or similar locations when
using conduit. Usage of Non-metallic conduit underground and in wet locations is allowed. However, these installations
inherently have an increased chance for nuisance problems due to the potential for water/moisture in the conduit. Water/
moisture in the conduit increases the likelihood of VFD faults or warnings. Proper installation is required to make sure there
is no intrusion of water/moisture.

•
Power cable types: Use only copper conductors.
•
Current rating: max. load current.
•
Voltage rating minimum: 600 V AC
•
Temperature rating: In IEC installations, select a cable rated for at least 70 °C (158 °F) maximum permissible
temperature of conductor in continuous use. Insulation temperature can be higher as long as the ampacity is
based on 75 °C conductors.
•
Size: Refer to Ratings, fuses and typical power cable sizes
•
Select the control cables. Use double-shielded twisted-pair cable for analog signals. Use double-shielded or single-
shielded cable for the digital, relay and I/O signals. Do not run 24 V and 115/230 V signals in the same cable.
•
Protect the drive and input power cable with the correct fuses. Refer to
4. Examine the installation site
Examine the site where you will install the drive. Make sure that:
•
Site is dry and clean during the installation. Drive is not watertight until installation is complete.
•
The installation site is sufficiently ventilated or cooled to remove heat from the drive.
•
The ambient conditions meet the requirements. Refer to
•
Outdoor installations: protect the drive from direct sunlight to prevent overheating. Drive is UV resistant.
•
The installation surface is as close to vertical as possible and strong enough to support the weight of the drive. Refer
to Weights and free space requirements
•
The installation surface, floor and materials near the drive are not flammable.
•
There is sufficient free space around the drive for cooling, maintenance and operation. For the minimum free space
requirements, refer to
•
There are no sources of strong magnetic fields such as high-current single-core conductors or contactor coils near
the drive. A strong magnetic field can cause interference or inaccuracy in the operation of the drive.

5. Install the drive on the wall

Select fasteners that comply with local requirements applicable to wall surface materials, drive weight and application.


Prepare the installation site

1. Make marks with the help of the mounting template. Remove the mounting template before you install the drive on the
wall.
2. Drill the holes and put anchors or plugs into the holes.
3. Install the screws. Leave a gap between the screw head and mounting surface.
