Installation Guidelines

• Mounting Position: Always install the drive vertically on a flat, non-flammable surface to facilitate optimal air convection.
• Clearance Requirements: Ensure a minimum clearance of 50 mm on both sides and 100 mm above and below the unit for proper heat dissipation.
• Grounding: Connect the protective earth terminal strictly to a low-impedance ground to prevent electromagnetic interference and electric shock.
• Environmental Limits: Protect the unit from direct sunlight, corrosive gases, flammable materials, and fine conductive dust.

Compliance and Certifications

• CE (European Conformity)
• UL Listed / cUL
