2-1 Installation Environment
Observe the following points when installing the inverter.
1) Install the inverter vertically so that the wire lead-in holes face downward.
2) Make sure that the ambient temperature is -10ºC to 50ºC.
3) Avoid installation in the following environment.
• Places subject to direct sunlight
• Places with oil mist, dust or cotton lint, or subject to salty winds
• Places with corrosive gas, explosive gas or high humidity levels
• Places near vibration sources such as dollies or press machines
