Installing Your Ultra1500 1-7
System Mounting Requirements
There are several things that you need to take into account when preparing to
mount the Ultra1500:
• The Ultra1500 must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure
offering protection as defined in standard EN 60529 (IEC 529) to IP22
such that they are not accessible to an operator or unskilled person, in
order to comply with UL
®
and CE requirements. A NEMA 4X enclosure
exceeds these requirements providing protection to IP66.
• The ambient temperature of the location in which you will install the
Ultra1500 must not exceed 50° C (122° F).
• You must install the Ultra1500 vertically on the panel (refer to Figure 1.2
for mounting orientation).
• You must install the panel on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that won’t be
subjected to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive vapors.
• You need to maintain minimum clearances (refer to Figure 1.2) for proper
airflow, easy module access, and proper cable bend radius.
• The Ultra1500 can operate at elevations to 1000 m (3280 ft) without
derating, however, the continuous current rating must be de-rated by 3%
for each additional 300 m (984 ft) up to 3000 m (9842 ft). Consult your
local Allen-Bradley representative prior to operating above 3000 m (9842
ft).
Refer to Appendix A for mounting dimensions, power dissipation, and
environmental specifications for the Ultra1500.
ATTENTION
!
Plan the installation of your system so that you can perform
all cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with the system
removed from the enclosure. Because the system is of the
open type construction, be careful to keep any metal debris
from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign matter can
become lodged in the circuitry, which can result in damage
to components.
