Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the drive in a vertical position on a flat, non-combustible surface. Ensure that the cooling fins are not obstructed to maintain optimal thermal performance.
• Environmental: Protect the unit from high humidity, dust, and corrosive vapors. Operating ambient temperature should remain within the manufacturer-recommended range to avoid derating.
• Wiring: Maintain clear separation between control signal cables and power cables to reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference. Use shielded motor cables for compliance with EMC standards.
• Grounding: Connect the drive chassis to a reliable protective earth (PE) terminal to ensure operator safety and system stability.
