Pollution Degree  2: good for a factory type environment. 
 
 
CAUTION!
 
1.  Operating, storing or transporting the AC motor drive outside these conditions may cause damage to the 
AC motor drive. 
2.  Failure to observe these precautions may void the warranty! 
 
2.2 Installation 
1.  Mount the AC motor drive vertically on a flat vertical surface object by screws. Other directions are not 
allowed. 
2.  The AC motor drive will generate heat during operation. Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat 
dissipation. 
3.  The heat sink temperature may rise to 90°C when running. The material on which the AC motor drive is 
mounted must be noncombustible and be able to withstand this high temperature. 
4.  When AC motor drive is installed in a confined space (e.g. cabinet), the surrounding temperature must be 
within 10 ~ 40°C with good ventilation. DO NOT install the AC motor drive in a space with bad ventilation.
