B.2.6 Installation

B.2.6.1 VS1MD-NM1A, VS1MD-NM1B, VS1MD-NM1C

Preparation:

Step 1. Remove input power from drive and wait 10 minutes before proceeding.

WARNING: Do not touch any circuit board, power device or electrical

!connection before you first ensure that power has been disconnected and ! there is no high voltage present from this equipment or other equipment to

which it is connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the start-up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.

WARNING: Do not remove cover for at least ten (10) minutes after AC

!power is disconnected to allow capacitors to discharge. Dangerous ! voltages are present inside the equipment. Electrical shock can cause

serious or fatal injury.

Step 2. Remove cover from drive exposing the terminal strips.

Step 3. Remove two screws from ground connection bar inside drive to the left of the power terminals. Retain screws.

Step 4. Remove two screws and cover from front of conduit kit. Retain screws.

Installation (refer to legends in diagram):

Step 1. Snap top vent cover onto the top of the drive, ensuring that all four tabs correctly engage their respective openings in the drive vent holes.

Step 2. Place the conduit kit, less the cover, such that the lower left tab with the two holes is over the ground connection bar holes and the top right tab is inserted in the provided slot, near the bottom right of the drive.
