INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF PEDESTAL FOR UNIT SIZES 41& 42
This instruction sheet is for the installation of a pedestal unit available for the AF-6 series
drives in unit sizes 41 and 42. This is a 200mm high pedestal that allows these frames to
be floor mounted. The front of the pedestal has openings for input air to the power components.
The drive gland plate must be installed to provide adequate cooling air to the control components of the drive via the drive door fan and to maintain the IP21/NEMA1 or IP54/
NEMA12 degrees of enclosure protection.

The kit contains the primary pedestal frame, a
vented front cover, 2– side covers, two front
brackets and the required hardware for assembly.

pedestal. Before installing the drive on to
the pedestal, the pedestal must be anchored
to the floor using the four pedestal mounting
holes. The holes can accommodate up to
M12 bolts (not included in kit)
CAUTION: The drives are top heavy and
may fall over if the pedestal is not anchored
to the floor.
The entire assembly may also be supported
by using the drive top mounting holes to anchor to a wall structure.
