Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the drive in a vertical position on a stable, vibration-free surface. Ensure the enclosure provides sufficient air circulation.
• Clearance: Adhere to the recommended minimum clearance distances around the unit to prevent thermal overload.
• Environment: Install in a clean environment protected from direct sunlight, corrosive gases, and excessive humidity.
• Wiring: Use properly rated cables for power and motor connections. Since this model lacks an internal EMC filter, ensure external filtering is applied if required by local electromagnetic compliance standards.
• Grounding: Connect the drive chassis to a dedicated protective earth (PE) point to ensure system safety and reliable operation.
