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.
Burn injuries caused by hot surfaces
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.
Note
For detailed information about moun
ting conditions, see Section "Servo drives (Page 373)".
Mounting orientation and clearance
Mount the drive vertically to the back plate of a shielded cabinet (non-painted) and observe the mounting clearances
specified in the illustration below:
