5.1 Installation location
The motor and driver are designed and manufactured for use as internal components
of equipment.
Install the motor and driver in a well-ventilated place where they can be inspected
easily and the following conditions are satisfied:
• Inside an enclosure that is installed indoors (provide vent holes)
• Operating ambient temperature: 0 to +50 °C (+32 to +122 °F) (non-freezing)
• Operating ambient humidity: 85% or less (non-condensing)
• Area that is free of explosive atmosphere or toxic gas (such as sulfuric gas) or
liquid
• Area not exposed to direct sun
• Area free of excessive amount of dust, iron particles or the like
• Area not subject to splashing water (rains, water droplets), oil (oil droplets) or
other liquids
• Area free of excessive salt
• Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shocks
• Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from welders, power machinery,
etc.)
• Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic fields or vacuum
Install the motor to a flat mounting plate offering excellent vibration resistance and
high heat conductivity.
