INSTALLATION 8-1
1557-UM050F-EN-P – June 2013
Safety and Codes
WARNING: The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), National Electrical Code
(NEC), or local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment.
Installation MUST comply with specifications regarding wire type, conductor
sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Unpacking and Inspection
Before leaving the factory, all drives have been tested both mechanically and electrically. Immediately
upon receiving the drive, remove the packing and check for possible shipping damage. Report any
damage immediately to the claims office of the common carrier.
After unpacking the material, check the item(s) received against the bill of lading to assure that the
nameplate description of each item agrees with the material ordered. Inspect the Bulletin 1557 drive for
physical damage, as stated in the Rockwell Automation Conditions of Sale.
IMPORTANT: All claims for breakage and damage whether concealed or obvious must be made to the
carrier by the Customer as soon as possible after receipt of the shipment. Rockwell Automation will be
glad to render the Customer reasonable assistance in the securing of adjustment for such damage claims.
Remove all packing material, wedges, or braces from within the drive. Operate the contactors and relays
manually to assure that they operate freely. If any part of the equipment will not be installed when it is
unpacked, it should be stored in a clean, dry place. The storage temperature must be between
-40

C (-40

F) and 70

C (185

F) with a maximum humidity of 95%, non-condensing, to guard against
damage to temperature sensitive components in the controller.
Transportation and Handling
The 1557 drive is shipped on a wooden skid, which is bolted to the underside of the cabinetry. The drive
should remain bolted to the shipping skid until it is delivered to its final installation area. Lifting angles are
supplied bolted to the top of the cabinetry. The drive must be kept in an upright position during any
handling.
The drive must be transported on a pallet or via use of the lifting beam supplied as part of all 90-inch high
cabinets.
CAUTION: Ensure that the load rating of the lifting device is sufficient to safely
raise the controller sections. Refer to the packing slip enclosed with shipment for
shipping weights.
Round rollers can be used to assist in moving the drive to the installation site. Once at the final site, the
pipe rolling technique can be used to place the cabinet in the desired position.
