• When installing the drive in an enclosure, use a cooling fan or air conditioner to keep the internal air temperature in the permitted range.
• Do not let the drive freeze.
• You can use IP20/UL Open Type drives at a maximum of 60 °C (140 °F) when you derate the output current.
• You can use IP20/UL Type 1 drives at a maximum of 50 °C (122 °F) when you derate the output current.
Humidity
95%RH or less
Do not let condensation form on the drive.
Storage Temperature
-20 °C to +70 °C (-4 °F to +158 °F) (short-term temperature during transportation)
Surrounding Area
Pollution degree 2 or less
Install the drive in an area without:
• Oil mist, corrosive or flammable gas, or dust
• Metal powder, oil, water, or other unwanted materials
• Radioactive or flammable materials.
• Harmful gas or fluids
• Salt
• Direct sunlight
Keep wood and other flammable materials away from the drive.
Altitude
1000 m (3281 ft) maximum
Note:
Derate the output current by 1% for each 100 m (328 ft) to install the drive in altitudes between 1000 m to 4000 m (3281 ft to 13123 ft).
It is not necessary to derate the rated voltage in these conditions:
• Installing the drive at 2000 m (6562 ft) or lower
• Installing the drive between 2000 m to 4000 m (6562 ft to 13123 ft) and grounding the neutral point on the power supply.
Contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales representative when not grounding the neutral point.

Installation Orientation
Install the drive vertically for sufficient airflow to cool the drive.
NOTICE
Do not let unwanted objects, for example metal shavings or wire clippings, fall into the drive during
drive installation. Put a temporary cover over the drive during installation. Remove the temporary
cover before start-up.
Unwanted objects inside of the drive can cause damage to the drive.
Note:
Do not put drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive. Shield the drive from electrical interference if
components must be near the drive. The drive or the devices around the drive may malfunction due to electrical interference.
