Mounting Area
Improper installation of the AC drive will greatly reduce its life. Be sure to
observe the following precautions when selecting a mounting location. Failure to
observe these precautions may void the warranty!
Do not mount the AC drive near heat-radiating elements or in direct sunlight.
Do not install the AC drive in a place subjected to high temperature, high
humidity, excessive vibration, corrosive gases or liquids, or airborne dust or
metallic particles.
Mount the AC drive vertically and do not restrict the air flow to the heatsink fins.
The AC drive generates heat. Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat
dissipation as shown in the figure below:
