1.4 Mounting instructions
1.4.1 Classi cation
The elevator drive is classi ed as an "Open Type" inverter with an IP20
rating and is intended for "use in a pollution degree 2 environment."
The unit must be mounted inside of a control cabinet offering proper
environmental protection.
1.4.2 Physical Mounting
Install the inverter in a stationary location offering a rm mounting point
with low vibration.
Installation of the inverter on a moving system may require special
earth ground connections to the inverter.
For best high frequency grounding, install the inverter on a bare metal
sub-panel, i.e. zinc plated steel or galvanized steel.
Take into consideration the minimum clearance distances when
positioning the inverter (see drawing below). The F5 series inverters
are designed for vertical installation and can be aligned next to each
other. Maintain a distance of at least 2 inches in front of the unit. Make
sure cooling is sufficient.

1.4.3 Harsh Environments
For extended life, prevent dust from getting into the inverter.
When installing the unit inside a sealed enclosure, make sure the
enclosure is sized correctly for proper heat dissipation or that a cooling
system has been installed in the panel.
Protect the inverter against conductive and corrosive gases and
liquids. Water or mist should not be allowed into the inverter.
The F5 elevator drive inverter must be installed in an explosion-proof
enclosure when operating in an explosion-proof environment.
