Preparing the Backplate
- To create vent openings in the cabinet backplate to match the openings in the mounting plate, use the following steps. Refer to
- Illustration 5 for FA09 frequency converters and Illustration 6 for FA10 frequency converters.
Procedure
- Cut out the vent openings in the cabinet backplate using the dimensions in the FA09 or FA10 template.
- The openings must match the mounting plate openings.
- Drill screw holes (6 mm) around the vent openings.
- The FA09 requires 6 holes around each vent opening, and the FA10 requires 8 holes around each. The holes must align with the holes in the outer flanges of the ducts
