Read this manual thoroughly before proceeding with installation, connections (wiring), or
maintenance and inspection. Ensure you have sound knowledge of the device and
familiarize yourself with all safety information and precautions before proceeding to
operate the drive. Refer to the
for further safety information.
Safety precautions are classified into the following two categories in this manual.
WARNING
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may lead to dangerous
conditions, possibly resulting in death or serious bodily injuries.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may lead to dangerous
conditions, possibly resulting in minor or light bodily injuries and/or substantial property
damage.
Each FRENIC-EcoPAK panel has a nameplate label, like the example pictured above,
which contains important information about the panel. This label is located on the inside
of the hinged door on the enclosure.
CAUTION
Refer to the nameplate label to determine the panel input voltage and current
requirements prior to installation and wiring.
Refer to the nameplate label for the correct wiring diagram (Elementary Drawing).
Sizing of field wiring conductors should be based upon the current ratings listed on
The FRENIC-EcoPAK panel should be located indoors:
Away from flammable or combustible liquids, gases, and other materials
Away from sources of dust, metal shavings, or other particulate material
Away from liquids, spray, or mist
Away from sources of heat
Away from direct sunlight
Where the ambient temperature will remain between -10°C (14°F) and 40°C
(104°F)
Wall-mount panels must be mounted on a non-flammable heat-resistant surface that is
capable of supporting the weight of the panel.
Refer to the dimensional drawing that shipped with the panel for required clearances.
Routing of field wiring should be planned in coordination with choosing a mounting
The FRENIC-EcoPAK panel must be connected to an input power source, a motor
(output power), and control signals.
WARNING
Wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician using standard practices as
specified by local and national codes.
Always make sure the input power source is OFF before connecting or disconnecting
any power input, output, or control wiring.
Ground the panel, as specified by local and national codes, using the provided
grounding lugs or bus bar.
Make sure that the input power source (phases, voltage, and current capacity)
matches the requirements of the panel as stated on the nameplate.
Never connect line voltage to the drive output terminals (U, V, and W).
When making holes for conduit fittings, be sure to cover the drive and other
components to protect them from metal shavings.
CAUTION
All field wiring should be copper with a minimum insulation rating of 75°C.
Sizing of field wiring conductors should be based upon the current ratings listed on
the nameplate label, in accordance with local and national codes.
Refer to the wiring diagram that shipped with this panel and the torque table in this
instruction manual.
Refer to the diagrams on the following pages for general component layout and for
general routing of power input, power output (motor connections), and control wiring for
your panel. Power input wiring should be routed away from power output wiring, and
both should enter the panel from separate conduit. Control wiring should be routed away
from power wiring, and should enter the panel from separate conduit. Knockouts are
provided on the Type 1 wall-mount panels. Floor-mount and NEMA 12 ventilated wallmount panels require holes to be drilled in the field. Refer to the panel outline drawing
provided for recommended conduit locations.
Refer to the following section Control Wiring for descriptions of the control connections.
