Installation Guidelines

• Mount the ATV212HD18M3X vertically inside a clean, well-ventilated electrical cabinet or indoor enclosure complying with an IP21 environment.
• Maintain adequate clearance above and below the drive to ensure proper natural convection cooling and prevent thermal overload.
• Verify that the 240 V three-phase power supply matches the electrical ratings of the drive before connecting input power.
• Route motor power cables and low-voltage control wiring separately to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
