Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the drive in a vertical position to ensure proper heat dissipation. Maintain required clearances as specified in the product manual to avoid overheating.
• Environmental Requirements: Ensure the installation environment is free from conductive dust, corrosive gases, and excessive humidity.
• Grounding: Connect the drive to the installation ground according to local electrical standards to ensure safety and signal integrity.
• Ventilation: The IP20 housing requires adequate airflow. In confined spaces, forced ventilation or fan cooling may be necessary to maintain operating temperatures within specified limits.
• Cable Routing: Separate power cables from sensitive signal and control wiring to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). Use shielded cables for control signals where applicable.
