3. Mechanical Installation
3.1. Intallation Environment
To obtain maximum life with optimum performance, install the device in an environmental that matching the specifications
below.
Installation Area Indoors
Ambient • 10°C to +40°C (NEMA type 1 enclosure)
Temparature • 10°C to +50°C (IP00 enclosure)
Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.
When using the drive in an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in
the area to ensure that the air temperature inside the enclosure does not exceed the
specified levels. Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.
Humidity 95% RH or less and free of condensation
Storage Temperature -20 to +60°C
Surrounding Area Install the drive in an area free from:
• Oil mist and dust
• Metal shavings, oil, water or other foreign materials
• Radioactive materials
• Combustible materials (E.g., wood)
• Harmful gases and liquids
• Excessive vibration
• Chlorides
• Direct sunlight
WARNING: Avoid placing drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive as the noise created can
lead to erroneous operation. If such devices must be used near the drive, take proper steps to shield the drive from noise.
WARNING: Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings and wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation.
Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during installation.
Remove the temporary cover before startup, as the cover will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.

4.2. Driver Side Connections

4.2.1. Main Supply Connection
In the driver board of Arcube device there are no L1, L2 and L3(3 phase AC inputs) inputs. Instead of those inputs, there are
other inputs which are used for making L1, L2 and L3 input connections.
EMC filter and line switches are already included in the Arcube device. External filter usage is not necessary.
4.2.2. Motor Connection
Motor connections should be done through contactors as per wiring diagram. Additionally, enough current capable shielded
cables must be used. For the thickness of the cables please refers to international standards.
4.2.3. Motor Phases and PTC Connections 4.2.4. Brake Resistor Connections
Appropriate brake resistor needs to be connected to the
terminals.
Arcube Hardware Manual V1.01

4.2.4.1. Emergency Supply Connection

For any power loss condition emergency supply can be used via these terminals. Emergency supply can be 60V DC (5 x 12 V
batteries) or UPS device which capable to feed motor. Emergency supply connection switches are already installed in the Arcube,
so external switches are not required.
4.2.5. Encoder Connection
For asynchronous motors incremental encoders which are cost effective are enough while absolute encoders are required for
synchronous motors.
Encoders are very sensitive devices for electromagnetic interferences. For this reason, encoder cables are shielded. While routing
encoder cables pay attention to route with enough distance to high current cables.
Before connecting an encoder to the device, please check encoder manufacturer user manual for right signal positions, names
and colors.
