Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the drive vertically to allow for proper heat dissipation. Ensure adequate clearance is maintained around the unit in accordance with installation manual guidelines.
• Wiring: Connect the 1-phase supply to L1/L2 and the motor to U/V/W terminals. Use shielded cables for motor connections to minimize electromagnetic interference.
• Environment: Ensure the ambient temperature remains within the rated operating range (up to 50 degC). Protect the unit from dust, moisture, and corrosive gases.
• Grounding: Verify that the drive chassis and motor frame are securely connected to a common system earth to prevent electrical hazards and ensure signal integrity.
• Safety: Disconnect all power sources and wait 15 minutes for the DC bus capacitors to discharge before servicing the unit.
