Installation Guidelines

  • Mounting: Install the drive vertically on a flat, non-flammable surface to optimize heat dissipation.
  • Clearance: Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm above and below the unit, and 50 mm on both sides for adequate ventilation.
  • Grounding: Ensure the ground terminal is securely connected to a dedicated industrial earth ground to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Wiring: Route control signal cables and power cables through separate conduits to prevent signal degradation. Use shielded cables for control signals and encoder feedback.
  • Operating Environment: Install in an environment free from corrosive gases, oil mist, and excessive dust, with ambient temperatures maintained within the rated limits without condensation.

Compliance and Certifications

  • CE Mark (Low Voltage and EMC Directives)
  • UL Listed / cUL Listed (US and Canadian safety standards)
  • RoHS compliant
