Description
Installation Method
● Install the servo drive vertically and upward to facilitate heat
dissipation. For installation of multiple servo drives inside
the cabinet, install them side by side. For dual‑row
installation, install an air guide plate.
● Make sure the servo drive is installed vertically to the wall.
Cool the servo drive down with natural convection or a
cooling fan. Secure the servo drive to the mounting surface
through two to four mounting holes (the number of
mounting holes depends on the capacity of the servo drive).
● Install the servo drive vertically to the wall, with its front
(actual mounting face) facing the operator.
● The mounting bracket (if needed) must be made of
incombustible materials.
Cooling
As shown in "

on page 18
, reserve
sufficient space around the servo drive to ensure a good heat
dissipation through the cooling fan or natural convection. Take
the heat dissipated by other devices inside the cabinet into
consideration. Install a cooling fan to the upper part of the servo
drive to avoid excessive temperature rise in a certain area,
keeping an even temperature inside the control cabinet.
Grounding
Ground the grounding terminal properly. Failure to comply may
result in electric shock or malfunction due to interference.
