1.5 Hazards
Electric Shocks
DANGER!
Ignoring the following may result in injury:
•This equipment can endanger life by exposure to rotating machinery
and high voltages.
•The equipment must be permanently earthed due to the high earth
leakage current, and the inverter motor must be connected to an
appropriate safety earth.
•Ensure all incoming supplies are isolated before working on the
equipment. Be aware that there may be more than one supply
connection to the inverter.
•There may still be dangerous voltages present at power terminals
(motor output, supply input phases, DC bus and the brake, where
fitted) when the motor is at standstill or is stopped.
•For measurements use only a meter to IEC 61010 (CAT III or higher).
Always begin using the highest range.
CAT I and CAT II meters must not be used on this product.
•Allow at least 10 minutes for the inverter's capacitors to discharge to
safe voltage levels (<50V). Use the specified meter capable of
measuring up to 1000V dc & ac rms to confirm that less than 50V is
present between all power terminals and between power terminals and
earth.
•Unless otherwise stated, this product must NOT be dismantled. In the
event of a fault the inverter must be returned. Refer to "Routine
Maintenance and Repair".

4 Introduction
4.1 About this Hardware Installation Manual
Users
This Manual is intended for use by the installer of the AC15 series Inverters. It assumes a reasonable level
of understanding in this discipline.
There is a separate Software Reference Manual – DOC-0017-05 “AC15 Series - Software Reference
Manual”, that is intended for use by the user and programmer of the AC15 series Inverters.
Manual Organisation
This Hardware Installation Manual is organised into chapters, indicated by the numbering on the edge of
each page.
If the manual is to be printed, it is designed so that it should be printed double-sided using the long-edge for
binding.
The Manual is ordered in a sequence that takes the user through the product installation process, resulting
in the basic operation of the drive.
Information for the full AC15 product is referred to as “the Inverter” or “drive” throughout the manual.
Product coding: Any “x” within a product code indicates there are variants. See ‘Chapter 12: AC15 Series
Product Codes’ section for more information.

Ventilation Clearance Requirements
The inverter gives off heat in normal operation and must therefore be mounted to allow the free flow of air
through the ventilation slots and heatsink:
- Maintain minimum clearances for ventilation as given in the tables below to ensure adequate
cooling of the inverter, and that heat generated by other adjacent equipment is not transmitted to
the inverter.
- Be aware that other equipment may have its own clearance requirements.
- When mounting two or more inverters together, these clearances are additive.
- Ensure that the mounting surface is normally cool.
- The inverter must be mounted in a suitable cubicle.

Installation
The Wiring Brackets mount to the chassis earthing points using the clamps and fixings pre-installed to the
drive. Frame 2 is shown for illustration only:
For the Frame 3, 4 & 5 230V products:
1. Remove the fixings of the ‘L’ brackets (with the earth clamps attached), from the heatsink.
2. Replace the ‘L’ brackets with the wiring bracket, reusing the heatsink fixings.
3. Move the earth clamps across from the ‘L’ brackets and fit onto the wiring bracket.
1. Unscrew and remove the necessary
chassis PE clamps.
2. Align and place the wiring bracket
onto the bare chassis PE tabs.
3. Secure the wiring bracket to the

6.2 Electrical
IMPORTANT
Please ensure that you have read and are familiar with the ‘Safety’
chapter before proceeding with the electrical installation.
DANGER!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Terminal covers, main covers, and cover fixings must remain in place
while the drive is energised.
These should only ever be removed once the supply to the unit and/or
system has been disconnected, and the residual energy in the DC link
capacitors has been discharged.
- All activities covered in this chapter should be carried out when there is no power to the
inverter.
- If the drive has been powered up, ensure enough time has elapsed that the inverter has
discharged its residual energy.
- Always check that the voltages on the user terminals are at a safe level (<50V) before
carrying out any of these activities.
- STO always overrides any attempt to start the inverter. If one or both STO control inputs is
requesting the STO function, the inverter will not start.
- Refer to ‘Chapter 8: Safe Torque Off (STO): SIL2, PLd’ for further information.
