2. Installation
2.1 Safety Information
N O T I C E
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
Only qualified personnel are allowed to install the parts described in these
installation instructions.
Disassembly and reassembly of the frequency converter must be done in
accordance with the corresponding service guide.
Use the standard fastener torque values from the service guide, unless the
torque value is specified in these instructions.
W A R N I N G
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
The frequency converter contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains
voltage. Improper installation, and installing or servicing with power
connected, can cause death, serious injury, or equipment failure.
Only use qualified electricians for the installation.
Disconnect the frequency converter from all power sources before installation
or service.
Treat the frequency converter as live whenever the mains voltage is connected.
Follow the guidelines in these instructions and local electrical safety
regulations.
W A R N I N G
DISCHARGE TIME (20 MINUTES)
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors, which can remain charged
even when the frequency converter is not powered.
High voltage can be present even when the warning indicator lights are off.
Failure to wait 20 minutes after power has been removed before performing
service or repair work can result in death or serious injury.
Stop the motor.
Disconnect AC mains, permanent magnet type motors, and remote DC-link
supplies, including battery backups, UPS, and DC-link connections to other
frequency converters.
Wait 20 minutes for the capacitors to discharge fully before performing any
service or repair work.
To verify full discharge, measure the voltage level.
N O T I C E
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electrostatic discharge can damage components.
Ensure discharge before touching internal frequency converter components, for
example by touching a grounded, conductive surface or by wearing a grounded
armband.
2.2 Installation Overview
N O T I C E
APPLYING GASKETS
This kit contains self-adhesive gaskets to ensure a proper seal between metal
parts.
Before affixing a gasket, check that the part matches the gasket and that no
holes are covered.

2.3 Creating a Vent Opening in the Top Plate
To create a vent opening in the cabinet top plate, use the following steps. Use the dimensions in Illustration 3 for the FA09 top plate, and Illustration 4 for the FA10 top plate.
Procedure
1. Cut out the vent opening in the Rittal cabinet top plate using the
dimensions in the template.
The opening must match the top duct opening.
2. Drill 6 screw holes (4 mm) around the vent opening using the dimensions
in the template.
The holes must match the holes in the upper flange of the top duct.

Illustration 4: FA10 Rittal Cabinet Top Plate Template
2.4 Preparing the Mounting Plate
To create mounting holes and a vent opening in the mounting plate, use the
following steps. Use the dimensions in Illustration 5 for
FA09 frequency converters, and Illustration 6 for FA10 frequency converters.
Procedure
1. Drill 4 mounting holes in the mounting plate using the dimensions in the
template.
The holes must match the holes in the frequency converter.
2. Insert 4 M10 pem nuts (not supplied) in the mounting holes.
3. Cut out the vent opening in the mounting plate using the dimensions in the
template.
The opening must match the opening in the lower duct.

Illustration 6: FA10 Mounting Plate Template for In-back/Out-top Cooling
2.5 Preparing the Back Plate
To create a vent opening in the cabinet back plate to match the opening in the mounting plate, use the following steps. Use the dimensions in Illustration 7 for FA09 frequency converters, and Illustration 8 for FA10 frequency converters.
Procedure
1. Cut out the vent opening in the cabinet back plate using the dimensions
in the template.
The opening must match the mounting plate opening.
2. Drill screw holes (6 mm) around the vent opening using the dimensions
in the template.
The FA09 requires 6 holes around the vent opening, and the FA10 requires 8
holes around the opening. The holes must align with the holes in the outer
flanges of the duct.

2.6 Mounting the Frequency Converter
To install the mounting plate and frequency converter in the Rittal cabinet, use the following steps. Refer to Illustration 9.
Procedure
1. Remove the backing paper from the 2 self-adhesive mounting plate gaskets.
2. Affix the gaskets around the lower vent opening, 1 on each side of the
mounting plate.
3. Attach the mounting plate to the cabinet rails, making sure that the pem
nuts face the front of the cabinet.
4. Remove the backing paper from the 2 seal plate gaskets, and affix the
gaskets to the seal plates, 1 per plate.
5. Fasten 2 M10x30 screws through the seal plates, 1 per plate, and into the
M10 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.
6. Slightly lean the top of the frequency converter forward and set the
notches in the base onto the 2 screw
7. 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.
Secure the top of the frequency converter using 2 M10x30 screws. Torque all fasteners to 19 Nm (170 in-lb).

2.7 Assembling the Top Duct
The top duct is a telescopic duct that collapse to simplify installation. To assemble the duct before installation, use the following steps. Refer to Illustration 10.
Procedure
1. Cut the strip of ribbed EPDM rubber seal into 2 pieces. Use the following
measurements:
a. For FA09 frequency converters, cut 2 strips of 581 mm (22.9 in).
b. For FA10 frequency converters, cut 2 strips of 849 mm (33.4 in).
2. Peel the paper off the self-adhesive seals. Place 1 strip on the outside
bottom edge of the inner sleeve of the duct, and 1 strip on the upper inside
edge of the outer sleeve of the duct.
3. With the rubber seal in place, carefully slide the inner sleeve of the
duct into the outer sleeve.
