G5 Series AC Servo Drives With Built-in EtherCAT Communications, Linear Motor Type
4-1 Installation Conditions
This section describes the installation conditions for the Servo Drive.
Install the Servo Drives according to the dimensions shown in the following illustration to ensure proper
dispersion of heat from inside the drives and convection inside the panel. If the drives are installed side
by side, install a fan for air circulation to prevent uneven temperatures inside the panel.
To provide electrical conduction, remove any paint from the surface on which you are installing G5-
series Servo Drives.
Also, it is recommended that you apply conductive plating if you are making the mounting bracket
yourself.
Mount the drive perpendicular on the panel so that the model number reads normally.
Environment Operating Conditions
The environment in which drives are operated must meet the following conditions. Drives may
malfunction if operated under any other conditions.
• Ambient operating temperature: 0 to 55C (Take into account the following temperature rises
in the individual drives themselves.)
• Operating humidity: 20 to 85% max. (with no condensation)
• Operating atmosphere: No corrosive gases.
• Altitude: 1,000 m max.
