Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install vertically (±10°) to ensure optimal cooling. The base plate design allows for cabinet mounting, either individually or side-by-side.
• Environment: Designed for indoor use in a clean environment (Pollution Degree 2). Keep ambient temperature between -10 degC and 40 degC for standard operation.
• Wiring: Use shielded motor cables to minimize electromagnetic interference. Ensure the drive and motor frames are securely connected to a common system ground.
• Cooling: Since this model lacks an internal fan, ensure the installation area provides adequate natural ventilation and heat dissipation.
• Safety: Always disconnect power and wait at least 15 minutes for internal capacitors to discharge before servicing the terminal connections.
