ATV 61 Installation & Connections
Mounting the Drive
● Install the drive vertically to ± 10°.
● Do not place it close to heating elements.
● Leave sufficient free space to ensure that the air required
for cooling purposes can circulate from the bottom to the
top of the unit.
● Free space in front of the drive: 10 mm (0.39 in.) minimum
● When IP20 protection is adequate, it is recommended that
the protective cover on the top of the drive is removed as
shown below.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
● An EMC mounting plate can be used with the drive for grounding the
shields of the power cables when necessary for the installation to meet
EN 55011 Class A requirements.

Wiring Precautions & Recommendations
● Grounding: The drive must be connected to the protective ground. Use
at least 10mm2 protective conductor
● Separation: Separate control and power wiring.
● Cable Length: At least 0.5mm, it must be not too long or capacitance
will be generated.

Power Terminal Definition
Only remove the link between PO and PA/+ If a DC choke has
been added. The screws on the PO and PA/+ terminals must
always be fully tightened as there is a high current flowing in the
link.

● The logic input switch (SW1) is used to adapt the operation of the logic
inputs to the technology of the programmable controller outputs.
● Set the switch to Source (factory setting) if using PLC outputs with PNP
transistors.
● Set the switch to Sink Int or Sink Ext if using PLC outputs with NPN
transistors.
