Safety
WARNING!
Frames R6 and R8: Lift the drive with a lifting device. Use the lifting eyes of the
drive. Do not tilt the module. The drive is heavy and its center of gravity is
high. An overturning drive can cause physical injury.
Examining the installation site
Examine the installation site. Make sure that:
• The installation site is sufficiently ventilated or cooled to remove heat from the drive.
See the technical data.
• The ambient conditions of the drive meet the specifications. See the technical data.
• The wall behind the drive and the material above and below the unit is of
non-flammable material.
• The installation surface is as close to vertical as possible and strong enough to
support the drive.
• There is sufficient free space around the drive for cooling, maintenance, and
operation. See the free space specifications for the drive.
• Make sure that there are no sources of strong magnetic fields such as high-current
single-core conductors or contactor coils near the drive. A strong magnetic field can
cause interference or inaccuracy in the operation of the drive.
Installation orientations
The drive must be installed on a wall or mounting plate. There are three alternative ways
to install it:
• vertically alone. Do not install the drive upside down.
