2-2 Installation Method
① Securely fasten the product in an upright position on a
solid structure such that FRENIC5000G11S is facing
the front.
Do not turn the product upside down or install in a
horizontal position.
② As heat is generated during inverter operation, the spaces shown in Fig. 2-2-1 are required to ensure
sufficient cooling. As heat radiates upward, do not install the product beneath a device sensitive to heat.
③ As the heat sink may reach a temperature of 90℃(194ºF) during inverter operation, ensure that the
material surrounding the product can withstand this temperature.
！ WARNING Install this product on nonflammable material such as metal.
④ When installing this product in a control panel, consider
ventilation to prevent ambient temperature of the inverter
from exceeding the specified value. Do not install the
product in an area from which heat cannot be sufficiently
released.
⑤ If two or more inverters must be installed in the same device
or control panel, arrange the units horizontally to minimize
the effect of heat. If two or more inverters must be installed
vertically, place an insulated plate between the inverters to
minimize the effect of heat.
⑥ When shipped from the factory, inverters are internal cooling
type inside panel. An inverter of 30HP or less can be
converted to an external cooling type simply by adding an
optional mounting adapter. An inverter of 40HP or more
can be converted simply by moving mounting adapter.
In an external cooling system, a heat sink radiating about 70% of total inverter heat (total loss) can be
placed outside the device or control panel.
Ensure that heat sink surfaces are kept free of foreign matter (lint, Fig. 2-2-2 External cooling system moist
dust particles etc.).
！ WARNING
･In case of external cooling system, cover the inverter rear side in order not to
touch the main capacitor and braking resistor. Electric shock may result.
･Ensure that the inverter and heat sink surfaces are kept free of foreign matter
such as lint, paper dust, small chips of wood or metal, and dust.
Fire or accident may result.
