Mounting the drive
Protection against the spread of fire
The device may be operated only in closed housings or in control cabinets with protective covers that are closed, and when
all of the protective devices are used. The installation of the device in a metal control cabinet or the protection with another
equivalent measure must prevent the spread of fire and emissions outside the control cabinet.
Protection against condensation or electrically conductive contamination
Protect the device, e.g. by installing it in a control cabinet with degree of protection IP54 according to IEC 60529 or
NEMA 12. Further measures may be necessary for particularly critical operating conditions.
If condensation or conductive pollution can be excluded at the installation site, a lower degree of control cabinet protection
may be permitted.
Death or severe personal injury from harsh installation environment
A harsh installation environment will jeopardize personal safety and equipment. Therefore,
• Do not install the drive and the motor in an area subject to inflammables or combustibles, water or corrosion hazards.
• Do not install the drive and the motor in an area where it is likely to be exposed to constant vibrations or physical
shocks.
•
Do not keep the drive exposed to strong electro-magnetic interference.
During operation and for a short time after switching-off the drive, the surfaces of the drive can reach a high temperature.
Avoid coming into direct contact with the drive surface.
For mounting conditions, see Technical data - servo drives (Page 23).
Mounting orientation and clearance
Mount the drive vertically in a shielded cabinet and observe the mounting clearances specified in the illustration below:
Note
The drive must be derated to 80% when the following conditions are satisfied:
The surrounding temperature is 0 °C to 45 °C, and the mounting clearance is less than 10
mm. In this case, the minimum
mounting clearance should not be less than 5 mm.
The surrounding temperature is 45 °C to 55 °C. In this case, the minimum mounting clearance should not be less than
