Mounting the Frequency Converter
To install the mounting plate and frequency converter in the Rittal cabinet, use the following steps. Refer to Illustration 10.
Procedure
- Attach the mounting plate to the cabinet rails, making sure that the pem nuts face the back of the cabinet.
- Remove the backing paper from the self adhesive on the cutout gasket.
- Affix the gasket over the duct opening in the mounting plate.
- Remove the backing paper from the self adhesive on the strip gasket.
- Affix the gasket over the lower 2 pem nuts in the mounting plate.
- Remove the backing paper from the 2 seal plate gaskets, and affix the gaskets to the seal plates, 1 per plate.
- Fasten 2 M10x30 screws through the seal plates, 1 per plate, and into the pem nuts at the lower end of the mounting plate.
- Make sure that the screws are secure. The base of the frequency converter rests on the screws.
- Slightly lean the top of the frequency converter forward and set the cutouts in the base onto the 2 screws.
- Slowly push the top of the frequency converter back against the mounting plate until the top 2 pem nuts line up with the holes in the frequency converter.
