CHAPTER 5 – MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 69
5.3 General notes on installation
Careful preparation of the installation area is the key to a successful
commissioning.
5.3.1 Dimensions, clearances
5.3.2 Cabinet roof
The cabinet roof is not designed as a mounting
base for foreign devices, cable ducts etc. There-
fore, it is not permitted to install any foreign
device on the roof.
5.3.3 Fire protection
Suitable fire protection measures should be
applied to prevent fire spreading into the drive.
5.3.4 Cable duct material
Cable ducts should be of non-flammable material
with non-abrasive surface.
All cable entries and exits should be protected to
prevent dust, humidity and animals entering into
the drive.
5.3.5 Preparing the floor
Condition of the floor
• Must support the weight of the cabinet
• Overall incline across 5 m must not exceed 5
mm
•Even
• Non-flammable, smooth and non- abrasive
• Protected against humidity diffusion
Foreign matter and particularly metallic dust can
cause failure and damage when the drive is ener-
gized.
Ensure that foreign matter cannot enter the cabi-
net:
• Close the doors and cover openings completely
when work is discontinued.
• Retrieve any foreign matter which accidentally
dropped into the cabinet.
For information on cabinet dimensions,
clearances to be observed and mounting
hole sizes, see

ical drawings.
