Drive Installation
Chapter Objectives Drive installation information including environmental conditions and
mounting requirements are presented in this chapter. The information
presented will serve as a guideline in planning the installation of the drive.
Environment Mounting To a flat, rigid, vertical surface.
Enclosure Type Sealed enclosure that will prevent drive from being subjected to
moisture, oil mist, dust, corrosive vapors, etc. Drive heat sinks
normally extend through the enclosure wall.
Ambient Temperature
Control Ambient 0
°
to 55
°
C (32
°
to 131
°
F) around drive control structure.
Heat Sink Ambient 0
°
to 40
°
C (32
°
to 104
°
F) at cooling air inlet to heat sinks.
Allowable Humidity 5% to 95% non-condensing.
Allowable Vibration Not to exceed 0.5 g during normal operation.
Installation Altitude Up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft.), derate 3% for each additional 300 m
(1,000 ft.) altitude. Consult Allen-Bradley for installations above
3,000 m (10,000 ft.).
Mounting In order to maintain proper cooling, the drive must be mounted in a vertical
position. The recommended clearances for all drive ratings are 150 mm (6
inches) on the top and 75 mm (3 inches) on the bottom.
ATTENTION: The drive must be mounted in the vertical
position to assure proper cooling airflow. Failure to observe this
mounting practice could result in overheating of the drive.
!
Two methods of mounting the 8510 in an enclosure are available:
1. Enclosure Wall Method – the drive chassis is located inside the
enclosure with the heat sink extended through the back wall of the
enclosure.
2. Panel Method – the drive chassis and heat sink are inside the enclosure.
This method requires the optional panel mount brackets.
Selection of the mounting method is the responsibility of the user and is
dependent on the application. Mounting guidelines and instructions are
provided for both methods.
