Rockwell Automation VSM500 Integrated Drive/Motor - Manual (Page 18)

2-2 Installing and Operating the VSM500 Integrated Drive/Motor, Version 3.0
Planning the installation is necessary to ensure you have acceptable environmental
and operating conditions for the unit. Read and follow the requirements given below
before proceeding with the installation:
• Locate the unit where it will have unrestricted clearance as shown in figure 2.2.
• Locate the unit where it will be kept clean (away from oil, coolants, or airborne
contaminants). The VSM500 unit has an IP54/Type 12 rating. An IP rating
designates the enclosure’s level of protection. The first number in the rating (5)
indicates that the VSM500 unit is dust-resistant. The second number (4) indicates
that the unit is splashproof.
• Mount the unit on a flat surface.
• Verify that the ambient temperature will remain between 0 ° C to 40 ° C (32 ° F to
104 ° F).
• Verify that the relative humidity will be between 5% and 95%, non-condensing.
• For installations above 1000 meters (3300 feet), refer to appendix A for derating
guidelines.
• Verify that there will be adequate clearance for opening the cover. See figure 2.2.
• Verify that there will be adequate clearance for blower intake. See figure 2.2.
